*1: Mobil 1, 0W-40 (100% synthetic) is the factory fill oil. The VR38 engine with its plasma-sprayed
bores was developed using this oil. NISSAN
cannot ensure proper engine operation and dur-
ability if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used. If Mobil
1, 0W-40 is not available, Mobil 1, 10W-40 (100%
synthetic) may be used; however, some perfor-
mance loss may be noticed.

Control (VDC) unit and other related parts were
specially designed for this brake fluid and NISSAN
cannot ensure the best performance and proper
operation of the vehicle if other brake fluid is used.0-10

Model "R35-D" EDITED: 2008/ 5/ 20
Pull off the road in a safe area,
and idle the engine. The driving
mode will change to RWD to
prevent the AWD system from
malfunctioning. If the warning
light turns off, you can drive
again.
— blinks slowly (about once every 2 seconds):
Pull off the road in a safe area,
and idle the engine. Check that
all tire sizes are the same as
that specified on the Tire and
Loading Information label lo-
cated in the driver’s door open-
ing, tire pressure is correct and
tires are not worn. (
“TIRE
AND LOADING INFORMATION
LABEL” page 9-10)
If the tire pressure is insuffi-
cient, fill with nitrogen gas.
Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer about filling with nitro-
gen gas. If nitrogen gas is not
available, compressed air may
be safely used under normal
driving conditions. However,
NISSAN recommends refilling
with nitrogen gas for maximum tire performance.
. If the warning light is still on after
the above operations, have your
vehicle checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
or
Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warn-
ing light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminates and then turns off. This indicates
the ABS is operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may
indicate the ABS is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (
“BRAKE SYSTEM” page 5-38)
or
Brake warning light
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator:When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the light comes on when the parking brake is
applied.Low brake fluid warning light:When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the light warns of a low brake fluid level. If the
light comes on while the engine is running with
the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle
and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid
as necessary. (
“BRAKE FLUID” page
8-14)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake
warning light and the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminate, it may indicate
the ABS is not functioning properly. Have the
brake system checked, and if necessary re-
paired, by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
promptly. Avoid high-speed driving and abrupt
braking. (

WARNING
.Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning light
is on. Driving could be dangerous. If
you judge it to be safe, drive care-
fully to the nearest service station
for repairs. Otherwise, have your
vehicle towed because driving it
could be dangerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your stop-
ping distance and braking will re-
quire greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked at a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running,
it may indicate the charging system is not
functioning properly. Turn the engine off and
check the alternator belt. If the belt is loose,
broken, missing or if the light remains on, see a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer immediately.
NOTICE
Do not continue driving if the alternator
belt is loose, broken or missing.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the
light flickers or comes on during normal driving,
pull off the road in a safe area, stop the engine
immediately and call a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
The engine oil pressure warning light is
not designed to indicate a low oil level.
Check the vehicle information display or
use the dipstick to check the oil level.
(
“ENGINE OIL LEVEL DISPLAY” page 2-
11) (
“CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL”
page 8-12)
NOTICE
Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause
serious damage to the engine almost
immediately. Turn off the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so.
Intelligent Key warning light

stopped, it may be impossible to free the
steering lock or to start the engine. If the light
comes on while the engine is running, you can
drive the vehicle. However in these cases,
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for
repair as soon as possible.
Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the tire
pressure of all tires.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure and flat tire, or indicates that the
TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is pushed ON, this light
illuminates for about 1 second and turns off.Low tire pressure warning:If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
