Lower the sun visor to block sunlight coming
from the forward direction.
To block sunlight coming from the side, lower
the sun visor, then unclip it from the hook and
move it to the side.INSIDE MIRROR
The inside mirror is designed so that it
automatically changes reflection according to
the intensity of the headlights of the following
vehicle.
The anti-glare system will be automatically
turned on when the ignition switch is pushed
to the ON position.
When the anti-glare system is turned on, the
indicator light
*Awill illuminate and excessive
glare from the headlights of the vehicle behind
you will be reduced.
Push the “*” switch
*Cto make the inside rearview mirror operate normally. The indicator
light will turn off. Push the “I” switch
*Dto turn
the system on.
NOTICE
Do not allow any object to cover the
sensors*Eor apply glass cleaner on
them. Doing so will reduce the sensi-
tivity of the sensor, resulting in impro-
per operation.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects.
The outside mirror will operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position.
Adjusting the outside mirrors
1. Turn the switch right or left to select the right or left side mirror
*1.
2. Operate the control switch
*2to adjust the
mirror angle.
WARNING
Adjust the mirrors before starting to
drive. Adjusting the mirrors during driv-
ing is dangerous as it reduces the
driver’s attention to the forward direc-
tion.
Folding the outside mirrors
Push the switch down*2to fold the outside
mirrors.
Push the switch up
*1to unfold the mirrors
before driving.
CAUTION
. Do not touch the mirrors while they
are moving. Your hand may be
pinched, and the mirror may mal-
function.
. Do not drive with the mirrors stored.
You will be unable to see behind the

vehicle.
. If the mirrors were folded or un-
folded by hand, there is a chance
that the mirror will move forward or
backward during driving. If the mir-
rors were folded or unfolded by
hand, be sure to adjust them again
electrically before driving.
NOTE:
. If the switch is operated continuously,
the mirror may stop before movement
is completed. This does not indicate
that there is a malfunction. Wait a few
moments, then operate the switch
again.
. If the mirrors were folded or unfolded
by hand, the mirrors may start moving
when the ignition switch is set to the
ACC or ON position.
. When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, operating the rear window
defroster will also remove frost and
fog from the outside mirrors.

visor and pull up the cover.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-29

.Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
. Check fluid levels such as engine oil, cool-
ant, brake fluid and window washer fluid as
frequently as possible, or at least whenever
you refuel.
. Check that all windows and lights are clean.
. Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
. Lock all doors.
. Position seat.
. Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
. Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
. Check the operation of warning lights when
the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position. (
“Warning/indicator lights
and audible reminders” page 2-24)
NOTE:
. This vehicle includes spark plugs that
are designed for maximum perfor-
mance. If the start time becomes long-
er, the plugs may be fouled, making the
engine difficult to start. If this occurs,
start the engine using the procedure
described in this section.
. A click sound may be heard when the
brake pedal is depressed and released.
This is normal.
. A low rattling operating sound may
occur when the engine is started or
stopped. This is because of the trans-
mission gear design, light flywheel and
dry sump lubrication system used in
this transmission. This does not indi-
cate that there is a malfunction. This
sound is likely to occur in particular if
the engine is stopped when the tem-
perature of the transmission oil is high.
1. Check the positions of the accelerator pedal
*1and brake pedal*2. Adjust the steering
wheel and seat positions so that the correct
driving posture is achieved. (
“Front
seats” page 1-3)
2. Check that the parking brake is engaged.
3. Check that the shift lever is in the
&Por&Nposition. (&Pis recommended.)
4. Firmly depress the brake pedal. Without depressing the accelerator pedal, push the
ignition switch once to start the engine.
5. To stop the engine, move the shift lever to the
&Pposition, and push the ignition switch
to the OFF position.

HEADLIGHTS
Replacing
Xenon headlight bulb:
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to modify
or disassemble. Always have your xe-
non headlights replaced at a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
(
“Headlight and turn signal
switch” page 2-49)
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A
temperature difference between the inside and
the outside of the lens causes the fog. This does
not indicate that there is a malfunction. If large
drops of water collect inside the lens, contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
