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

— blinks slowly (about once every 2 seconds):
Pull off the road in a safe area,

Loading Information label lo-
cated in the driver’s door open-
ing, tire pressure is correct and

“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.

function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (

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

paired, by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
promptly. Avoid high-speed driving and abrupt
braking. (
