2014 NISSAN GT-R key

3-20Pre-driving checks and adjustments
WARNING
.Do not drive with the trunk lid open.
This could allow dangerous exhaust
gases to be drawn into the vehicle.
(
“Exhaust gas (carbon monox-
ide)” page 5-3)
. Closely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent
them from playing and becoming
locked in the trunk where they could
be seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the trunk closed, when
not in use, and prevent children’s
access to Intelligent Keys.
TRUNK OPEN REQUEST SWITCH

lid will be canceled and the trunk lid cannot be
opened by the trunk lid release switch, the trunk
open request switch or the TRUNK button on
the Intelligent Key.
When you have to leave the vehicle with a valet
and want to keep your belongings safe in the
glove box and the trunk, push this switch to OFF
and lock the glove box with the mechanical key.

the rear spoiler to open or close the
trunk may damage the spoiler.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-21

3-22Pre-driving checks and adjustments
.Do not leave the key inside the
trunk.
NOTE:
. To prevent the Intelligent Key from
being accidentally locked in the trunk,
lockout protection is equipped with the
Intelligent Key system. When the trunk
lid is closed with the Intelligent Key
inside the trunk, the outside buzzer will
sound and the trunk will open.
. The trunk of this vehicle is slightly
more difficult to close than an ordinary
vehicle (particularly when the vehicle is
new) . This is because the trunk rigidity
has been increased to handle the high
load on the rear spoiler during vehicle
operation. This does not indicate that
there is a malfunction. Check that the
trunk is securely locked.
EMERGENCY TRUNK LID RELEASE
WARNING
Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the
trunk lid securely latched, when not in
use, and prevent children’s access to
Intelligent Keys.
The emergency trunk lid release mechanism allows opening of the trunk lid in the event that
people become locked inside the trunk or in the
event of the loss of electrical power such as a
discharged battery.
Inside the trunk
To open the trunk lid from the inside, pull the
release handle
*1until the lock releases and
push up on the trunk lid. The release lever is
made of a material that glows in the dark after a
brief exposure to ambient light.
The handle is located on the back of the trunk lid
as illustrated.

From the passenger compartment
The trunk can be opened with the emergency
trunk lid opener located on the floor in front of
the passenger’s seat.
1. Remove the board located on the floor infront of the passenger’s seat.
2. Insert the mechanical key into the emer-gency trunk lid opener and turn it clockwise
until it stops.
NOTE:
Because the trunk rigidity has been in-
creased to handle the high load on the rear
spoiler during vehicle operation, more
force is required to operate the mechanical
key (particularly when the vehicle is new) .
Be sure to turn the key clockwise until it
stops.
The fuel-filler door is located on the right and
rear side of the vehicle.
WARNING
. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under certain
conditions. You could be burned or
seriously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly
a fire.
. Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It
has a built-in safety valve needed
for proper operation of the fuel
system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a
serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the mal-
function indicator light to come on.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-23
FUEL-FILLER DOOR

3-24Pre-driving checks and adjustments
.Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your vehi-
cle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel container
in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec-
tricity can cause an explosion of
flammable liquid, vapor or gas in
any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when
filling portable fuel containers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are
filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.
NOTICE
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
. Insert the cap straight into the fuel- filler tube, then tighten until the
fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to tight-
en the fuel-filler cap properly may
cause the
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to illuminate. If the
light illuminates because 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 the
light does not turn
off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
(
“Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” page 2-31)
. This vehicle includes a system that
can supply fuel even during high-G
(gravity) turns. The fuel tank pres-
sure is higher when the vehicle is
hot. If the vehicle is refueled when
the vehicle is hot, the fuel pump may
automatically shut off before the
tank is full. This does not indicate
that there is a malfunction.
OPENING THE FUEL FILLER DOOR
1. Unlock the fuel-filler door by using one of the
following operations.
.Push the door handle request switch
with the Intelligent Key carried with you.
.Push the UNLOCK button on the In-
telligent Key.
.Push the power door lock switch to the
UNLOCK position.

2. Press the rear side of the fuel-filler door torelease the door lock, and open the door.3. Turn the cap*1slowly counterclockwise to
remove it.
During refueling, place the cap on the inside
of the door
*2.
CLOSING THE FUEL-FILLER DOOR
1. Turn the cap clockwise until a single click
sound is heard.
2. Close the door. Lock the fuel-filler door by using one of the following operations.
. Push the door handle request switch with
the Intelligent Key carried with you.
. Push the LOCK button on the Intelligent
Key. .
Push the power door lock switch to the
LOCK position.
NOTE:
After a single click is heard and the cap is
released it may move slightly. This is not a
malfunction.

WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Closely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent
them from playing and becoming
locked in the trunk where they could
be seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the rear seatback and
trunk lid securely latched when not
in use, and prevent children’s access
to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive with
all windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
. Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving, otherwise exhaust gases
could be drawn into the passenger
compartment. If you must drive with
the trunk lid open, follow these
precautions:
a. Open all the windows.
b. Set the
air recirculation to
off and the fan control to high to circulate the air.
. The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for service.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident invol- ving damage to the exhaust
system, underbody, or rear of
the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust
gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at
high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.
