When the oil level sensor malfunc-
tion occurs
If the message shown above is \fisplaye\f\b the
engine oil level sensor may be malfunctioning.
Contact a GT-R certifie\f NISSAN \fealer im-
me\fiately.
TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CHECK
DISPLAY
This is \fisplaye\f after the engine is starte\f while
the transmission system is being checke\f. It
turns off after a few secon\fs.
NOTE:
.During the system check, the shift lever
cannot be moved out of the
&Pposition.
Operate the shift lever after the system
check indicator turns off.
. The shift lever cannot be moved if the
shift lever button is pushed while the
system check is being performed, even after the system check is finished.
Release the button and push it again
to operate the shift lever.
. During winter or at other times when
the temperature is extremely low,
changes in the hydraulic response
characteristics may increase the
amount of time that is required for the
system check. During the system check,
a thudding operating noise may occur
or the engine speed may decrease,
however this does not indicate that
there is a malfunction.
