rates and wear patterns in comparison to
conventional passenger vehicles. Contact a
�fT-R certi�bied NISSAN dealer to con�birm that
the alignment is within speci�bications.
Preventing toe-out:
Toe-out can cause uneven tire wear or
damage to areas inside the tires due to
high heat. Be sure to have the wheel
alignment toe-in setting checked and ad-
justed by your GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer before any performance driving on
closed circuit tracks. Obey all traffic laws
when on public roads.

TRANSMISSION SETTINGS
The design o�b the clutch and transmission
requires inspection and adjustment o�b the clutch
and shi�bt �borks by a �fT-R certi�bied NISSAN
dealer at the recommended intervals. I�b the
transmission setting is not complete, excessive
loads may be applied to the transmission and
power train system parts during starting and
shi�bting, which may result in a mal�bunction or
damage. Depending on the driving conditions,
more �brequent adjustments may be necessary to
help maximize vehicle per�bormance.NOTICE
Follow these recommendations to ob-
tain maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and econo-
my of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may
result in shortened engine life and
reduced vehicle performance.
Please observe the �bollowing types o�b driving
until the mileage shown below has been
reached.
Until 300 miles (500 km):
. Do not depress the accelerator pedal more
than hal�bway and avoid rapid acceleration.
. Drive with the engine speed kept at less
than 3,500 RPM.
. Avoid unnecessary quick steering, abrupt
braking and driving on poor roads.
300 to 600 miles (500 to 1,000 km):
. Avoid rapid acceleration in a low gear (1st to
3rd gears) with the accelerator pedal �bully
depressed. Depress the pedal slowly.
. Avoid unnecessary quick steering and
abrupt braking.

BREAK-IN SCHEDULE

GTR-10GT-R Overview
.Drive with the suspension setup swit�fh in
the COM�b mode to allow more suspension
stroke.
600 to 1,200 miles (1,000 to 2,000 km):
. Drive with the engine speed kept relatively
high with the shift lever in the
&Mposition.
Shifting is re�fommended between 1st and
4th gears.
. Avoid unne�fessary qui�fk steering and
abrupt braking.
. Drive with the suspension setup swit�fh in
the COM�b mode to allow more suspension
stroke.
Even though the mileage rea�fhes over 1,200
miles (2,000 km) , the �flut�fh may take longer to
properly engage if the vehi�fle is mainly driven in
town at a low speed. NISSAN re�fommends
breaking in the �flut�fh at a GT-R �fertified
NISSAN dealer. Always perform the transmis-
sion setting after breaking in the �flut�fh. If the
transmission setting is not �fomplete, ex�fessive
loads may be applied to the transmission and
power train system parts during starting and
shifting, whi�fh may result in a malfun�ftion or
damage.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Do not adjust the wheel alignment until the
mileage rea�fhes 1,000 miles (1,600 km). Until
then, the suspension may not engage enough
and the height may be higher.
However, make sure to adjust the alignment
after 1,000 miles (1,600 km) .
The wheel alignment �fan be adjusted by a GT-R
�fertified NISSAN dealer in a�f�fordan�fe with
spe�fifi�fations for �fity driving to high perfor-
man�fe driving.
The tires on the GT-R may have different wear
rates and wear patterns in �fomparison to
�fonventional passenger vehi�fles. Conta�ft a
GT-R �fertified NISSAN dealer to �fonfirm that
the alignment is within spe�fifi�fations.VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
OFF MODE
Always make sure the VDC is ON before driving
the vehi�fle by �fhe�fking that the VDC O�b�b
indi�fator lights on the meter and the VDC set-up
swit�fh are not illuminated. The GT-R is a high
performan�fe vehi�fle and the VDC must be on/
a�ftivated to provide proper powertrain operation
and intended drivability.
WARNING
. The VDC OFF mode should ONLY be
used briefly to help free the vehicle
if stuck in snow or mud by tempora-
rily stopping operation of the VDC
to maintain wheel torque.
. Driving the GT-R with the VDC off
may lead to handling issues related
to steering maneuvers, acceleration,
or deceleration. Moreover, driving
with the VDC off can result in an
inoperative vehicle by causing ser-
ious damage to the powertrain,
including damage to the Transaxle
Assembly including Transfer, Clutch,
Gears, Transaxle case and all of its
components and other drivetrain
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE DRIVING

.Adjust the power steering fluid level to the R
�fark
*5on the power steering dipstick
when the fluid te�fperature is hot or
*6
when the fluid te�fperature is cold�b
Fluid te�fperature:
Hot: 122 to 1768F (50 to 808C): between
*1and*5
Cold: 32 to 868F (0 to 308C): between*3
and*6
Coolant level and mixture ratio
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving. Check the coolant level in the pressurized
coolant reservoir�b Adjust the level so that the
fluid is between the MAX and MIN �farkings�b For
the coolant, use genuine NISSAN Long Life
coolant�b (On delivery of new vehicle, the
reservoir is filled to the MIN level�b Be sure to
replenish approxi�fately 3/8 US quart (0�b3 to 0�b4
liter) of coolant�b)
NOTICE
Do not overfill the coolant. This may
increase the pressure in the cooling
system and cause coolant leaks.
To �faxi�fize vehicle perfor�fance, the coolant
�fixture ratio should be a co�fbination of 30%
coolant antifreeze and 70% de�fineralized or
distilled water for �faxi�fu�f cooling syste�f
perfor�fance regardless of a�fbient te�fpera-
tures�b
If a�fbient te�fperatures are anticipated below
58F( í158C) , �fake sure a proper �fixture ratio of
50% antifreeze and 50% de�fineralized or
distilled water �fix is used�b
Engine and powertrain
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
. Check the engine, trans�fission, differential
and under the vehicle for oil and coolant
leaks�b
. Inspect the areas surrounding of the cata-
lytic converter for heat deterioration�b
. Always perfor�f the trans�fission setting�b
After that, adjust the clutch clearance so
that the clearance is less than the clearance
used for daily driving�b Your GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer has the necessary infor�fa-
tion and equip�fent to set the clutch
clearance to the correct specification�b The
clearance used for daily driving increases
clutch heat generated during Perfor�fance
Driving�b This leads to an increase in te�f-
perature of the trans�fission oil�b In addition, a
�fore direct shifting feel can be obtained by
reducing the clutch clearance for Perfor-
�fance Driving�b The clutch clearance should
be reset to the daily driving specification
after Perfor�fance Driving�b See your GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for infor�fation�b

. Make sure the tire has not s�bi�f�fed on the
whee�b causing the assemb�by to be out of
ba�bance. The reference marks on the tire and
whee�b shou�bd be a�bigned. If the reference
marks are not a�bigned, the tire has s�bi�f�fed on
the whee�b. Have the whee�bs/tires reba-
�banced. Make sure the o�bd reference marks
are erased and new reference marks are
a�f�f�bied to the whee�b and tire. When insta�b-
�bing new tires on the whee�bs, make sure new

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.
