Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the
tire pressure of all 4 wheels to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening. The
low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pres-
sure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to
the recommended pressure, the vehicle
must be driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off
the low tire pressure warning light. Use a
tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure. (
“Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” page 5-4) (“Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” page
6-3)
Run-flat tire warning:
The run-flat tire warning light warns of a flat tire.
If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat
tires, the warning light will illuminate continu-
ously and a chime will sound for 10 seconds.
The chime will only sound at the first indication
of a flat tire and the warning light will illuminate continuously. When the Flat tire warning is
activated, have the system reset and the tire
checked and replaced if necessary by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Even if the tire is
inflated to the specified COLD tire pressure, the
warning light will continue to illuminate until the
system is reset by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
If you select the tire pressure information in the
multi function display, the LOW PRESSURE
warning message will be displayed. The tire
pressure for each tire will also be displayed.
Refer to the separate Multi Function Display
Owner’s Manual.
Your vehicle can be driven for a limited time on a
flat tire. (
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” page 5-4) (“Tire Pressure Mon-
itoring System (TPMS)” page 6-3)
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low
tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the ignition switch is
pushed ON. The light will remain on after the 1
minute. Have the system checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. (
“Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” page 5-4)
(
“Tire pressure” page 8-32)
WARNING
. If the light does not illuminate with
the ignition switch pushed ON, have
the vehicle checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.
. If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with un-
der-inflated tires may permanently
damage the tires and increase the
likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label located in the
driver’s door opening to turn the
low tire pressure warning light off. If
the light still illuminates while driv-
ing after adjusting the tire pressure,
a tire may be flat.

This warning appears and an inside warning
chime sounds when the ignition switch is
pushed to stop the engine with the shift lever

when pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position.
“PUSH” WARNING
This warning appears when the shift lever is
moved to the&Pposition with the ignition switch
in the ACC position after the SHIFT&Pwarning
appears.
If this warning appears, push the ignition switch
to the OFF position.

lock cannot be released from the LOCK posi-
tion. If this indicator appears, push the ignition
switch while lightly turning the steering wheel
right and left.

air bag system may result in serious
personal injury.
The seat heaters can be used when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. The front seats are
warmed by the built-in heaters.
TURNING ON THE HEATERS
Push the "HI" or "LO" side of the switch to
activate the heaters. The switch indicator
illuminates.

— When any type of radio wave remotecontrol is used nearby.
— When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
— When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.
. Although the life of the battery varies
depending on the operating conditions, the
battery’s life is approximately 2 years. If the
battery is discharged, replace it with a new
one. (
“Intelligent Key battery replace-
ment” page 8-27)
. Since the Intelligent Key is continuously
receiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and
personal computer, the battery life may
become shorter.
. Because the steering wheel is locked
electrically, unlocking the steering wheel
with the ignition switch in the LOCK position
is impossible when the vehicle battery is
completely discharged. Pay special atten-
tion that the vehicle battery is not completely
discharged.
. Do not push the door handle request switch
with the Intelligent Key held in your hand. The close distance to the door handle will
cause the Intelligent Key system to have
difficulty recognizing that the Intelligent Key
is outside the vehicle.
. After locking the doors, check that the doors
are securely locked by testing them.
. To prevent the Intelligent Key from being left
inside the vehicle, make sure you carry the
key with you and then lock the doors.
. To prevent the Intelligent Key from being left
inside the trunk, make sure you carry the key
with you and then close the trunk.
. Do not pull the door handle before pushing
the door handle request switch. The door
will be unlocked but will not open. Release
the door handle once and pull it again to
open the door.
INTELLIGENT KEY FUNCTIONS
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, fuel-filler
door and trunk lid by pushing the request switch
on the outside door handles and the trunk lid.
Intelligent Key operating range
The Intelligent Key functions can only be used
when the Intelligent Key is within the specified
operating range from the request switch. The
operating range is within 31.50 in (80 cm) from
each request switch.
NOTE:
.When the Intelligent Key battery is
discharged or strong radio waves are
present near the operating location,
the Intelligent Key system’s operating
range becomes narrower, and the In-
telligent Key may not function properly.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-9

3-26Pre-driving checks and adjustments
WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of your vehicle and cause an acci-
dent.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel
any closer to you than is necessary
for proper steering operation and
comfort. The driver’s air bag inflates
with great force. If you are unrest-
rained, leaning forward, sitting side-
ways or out of position in any way,
you are at greater risk of injury or
death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries from
the air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far
away as practical from the steering
wheel. Always use the seat belts.
