*1: When tire replacement is required, replacing tires as a set of four with new tires is recommended.
However, if a tire is punctured or damaged, it may
be possible to replace only the damaged tire.
Determining whether one tire or a complete set of
tires should be replaced is based on a number of
factors including tire wear and condition. Contact
your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. They can
recommend if an individual tire or a complete set
should be replaced.

If any light does not come on, it may indicate a
burned-out bulb or an open circuit in the

WARNING LIGHTS
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) warn-
ing light
Thewarning light comes on when the
ignition switch is pushed to ON. It turns off soon
after the engine is started.
If the AWD system malfunctions, the warning
light will either remain illuminated or blink.
(
“All-Wheel Drive (AWD)” page 5-41)
CAUTION
. If the warning light comes on while
driving there may be a malfunction
in the AWD system. Reduce the
vehicle speed and have your vehicle
checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.
. If the AWD warning light blinks on
when you are driving:
— blinks rapidly (about twice a
second):
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (
“Readiness for Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) test (US only)” page 9-
20)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady — An
emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Check the fuel-filler cap. If
the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
light should turn off after a
few driving trips. If thelight does not
turn off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking — An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:
a. Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h). b. Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
c. Avoid steep uphill grades.
d. If possible, reduce the amount of cargo
being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. You do not need
to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
NOTICE
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.
Turn signal/hazard indicator
lights
The light flashes when the turn signal switch
lever or hazard switch is turned on.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

Control (VDC) set up switch is pushed to OFF for more than 1 second. (
“VDC, transmis-
sion and suspension setup switches” page 5-
24)
This indicates that the vehicle dynamic control
system and traction control system are not
operating. (
“Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” page 5-49)

XENON HEADLIGHTS
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 xenon headlights replaced at a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
. Xenon headlights provide consider-
ably more light than conventional
headlights. If they are not correctly
aimed, they might temporarily blind
an oncoming driver or the driver
ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, immediately take your ve-
hicle to a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer and have the headlights
adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize. NOTE:
.
The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off opera-
tion. It is generally desirable not to turn
off the headlights for short intervals
(for example, when the vehicle stops at
a traffic signal) . Even when the daytime
running lights are active, the xenon
headlights do not turn on. This way the
life of the xenon headlights is not
reduced.
. If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Lighting
Turning the switch to theposition:
The clearance, side marker, tail, license plate
and instrument lights will come on and the
daytime running light will remain on.
Turning the switch to the
