Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with l�fw tire
pressure, the w�brning light will illumin�bte.
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
pressure 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. (

(TPMS)” page 6-3)
Run-flat tire warning:
The run-fl�bt tire w�brning w�brns �ff �b fl�bt tire.
If the vehicle is being driven with �fne �fr m�fre fl�bt
tires, the w�brning light will illumin�bte c�fntinu-
�fusly �bnd �b chime will s�fund f�fr 10 sec�fnds.
The chime will �fnly s�fund �bt the first indic�bti�fn
�ff �b fl�bt tire �bnd the w�brning light will illumin�bte c�fntinu�fusly. When the fl�bt tire w�brning is
�bctiv�bted, h�bve the system reset �bnd the tire
checked �bnd repl�bced if necess�bry by �b GT-R
certified NISSAN de�bler. Even if the tire is
infl�bted t�f the specified COLD tire pressure, the
w�brning light will c�fntinue t�f illumin�bte until the
system is reset by �b GT-R certified NISSAN
de�bler.
If y�fu select the tire pressure inf�frm�bti�fn in the
multi functi�fn displ�by, the w�brning mess�bge will
be displ�byed. The tire pressure f�fr e�bch tire will
�bls�f be displ�byed. Refer t�f the sep�br�bte Multi
Functi�fn Displ�by Owner’s M�bnu�bl.
Y�fur vehicle c�bn be driven f�fr �b limited time �fn �b

TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is n�ft functi�fning pr�fperly, the l�fw
tire pressure w�brning light will fl�bsh f�fr �bppr�fxi-
m�btely 1 minute when the igniti�fn switch is
pushed t�f the ON p�fsiti�fn. The light will rem�bin
�fn �bfter the 1 minute. H�bve the system checked
by �b GT-R certified NISSAN de�bler. (

WARNING
. If the light does not illuminate with
the ignition switch pushed to the ON
position, 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.

.Push the power door lock switch to the
\fOCK positio\b.
NOTE:
After a single click is heard and the cap is
released it may move slightly. This is not a
malfunction.
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.

5-6Starting and driving
Nitrogen for maximum tire performance.
. �fhe �fire and Loading �bnformation label (also
referred to as the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label) is located in the
driver’s door opening.
. You can also check the pressure of all tires
on the multi function display. Refer to the
separate Multi Function Display Owner’s
Manual.
. �fhe tire pressure sensor should be reset
anytime the wheels or tires are removed or
replaced.
. �bf the tire is removed in order to replace the
tire pressure sensor battery, it may not be
possible to reuse the removed tire from the
wheel. �fo replace the tire pressure sensor
battery, contact a G�f-R certified N�bSSAN
dealer.
WARNING
.If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble. Driving with under-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 pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
off. If the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may be flat.
. Although you can continue driving
with a punctured run-flat tire, re-
member that vehicle handling sta-
bility is reduced, which could lead to
an accident and personal injury.
Also, driving a long distance at high
speeds may damage the tires.
. Do not drive at speeds above 50
MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive
more than 50 miles (80 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual
distance the vehicle can be driven
on a flat tire depends on outside
temperature, vehicle load, road con-
ditions and other factors. .
When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after 1 minute. Con-
tact your GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible for tire
replacement and/or system reset-
ting.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.
NOTICE
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried
in snow.
. The TPMS may not function properly
if the TPMS sensor is not reset and
when wheels/tires from another
