2014 NISSAN GT-R vehicle dynamic control

For further brake fluid information, see the
following section. (“Capacities and recom-
mended fuel/lubricants” page 9-2)
WARNING
. Use only new fluid from a sealed
container. Old, inferior or contami-
nated fluid may damage the brake
system. The use of improper fluids
can damage the brake system and
affect the vehicle’s stopping ability.
. Clean the filler cap before removing.
. Brake fluid is poisonous and should
be stored carefully in marked con-
tainers out of the reach of children.
CAUTION
Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Spe-
cial II is the factory fill brake fluid. The
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) unit and
other related parts were specially de-
signed for this brake fluid and NISSAN
cannot ensure proper operation of the
vehicle if other brake fluid is used.
NOTICE
Do not spill the fluid on any painted
surfaces. This will damage the paint. If
fluid is spilled, wash the surface with
water.
Check the fluid level in the reservoir. If the fluid is
below the MIN line
*1or the brake warning
light comes on, add Genuine NISSAN Brake
Fluid R35 Special II fluid up to the MAX line
*2.
If fluid must be added frequently, the system
should be checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.

Technical and consumer information9-3

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR) . The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
.How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
. Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
. How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
. How fast the vehicle was traveling.
. Sounds are not recorded.
These data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial
crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and crash
location) are recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required and access to the vehicle
or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer and NISSAN dealer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data will
only be accessed with the consent of the vehicle
owner or lessee or as otherwise required or
permitted by law.The Vehicle Status Data Recorder (VSDR) is
different from the Event Data Recorder de-
scribed in “Event Data Recorder” in this section.
The VSDR is not a crash-activated device, but it
records and accumulates vehicle data while
driving.
Examples are:
.
Vehicle operating information such as the
wheel speeds of the front and rear wheels
. Engine control information such as the
engine speed and boost pressure
The VSDR always records and stores vehicle
operating data between periodic inspections,
which can assist and be used for servicing,
diagnosing and performing warranty repairs.
The VSDR does not record sounds, conversa-
tions or images.
To read data recorded by the VSDR, special
equipment is required and access to the vehicle
or the VSDR is needed.
HANDLING OF DATA
NISSAN and third parties affiliated with NISSAN
can acquire and use the data recorded by the
VSDR in order to confirm the part replacement
history to improve the quality of NISSAN
vehicles.
