2015 NISSAN GT-R wiper blades

TIRE EQUIPMENT
The GT-R summer tires are made from a
speciall�f formulated rubber to maximize the
�behicle’s performance capabilities. Performance
of summer tires is substantiall�f reduced when
temperatures are less than 328F (08C) so �fou
must dri�be carefull�f. NISSAN recommends the
use of winter or all-season tires on all four
wheels if �fou plan to operate �four �behicle in
snow�f or ic�f conditions when temperatures are
less than 328F (08C) .
WARNING
Never use summer tires when the
temperature is belowí48F(í208C) to
prevent permanent tread deformation
which may cause tire damage or tire
failure. This may cause a loss of vehicle
control which can result in serious
personal injury or death.
Tire chains ma�f be used. (
“Tire chains”
page 8-40)
If �fou install tires, the�f must also be the specified
size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all
four wheels.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items be
carried in the �behicle during winter:
. A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remo�be
ice and snow from the windows and wiper
blades.
. A sturd�f, flat board to be placed under the
jack to gi�be it firm support.
. A sho�bel to dig the �behicle out of snowdrifts.
. Extra window washer fluid to refill the
reser�boir tank.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING
. Wet ice (328F, 0 8C and freezing rain) ,
very cold snow or ice can be slick
and very hard to drive on. The
vehicle will have much less traction
or “grip” under these conditions. Try
to avoid driving on wet ice until the
road is salted or sanded.
. Whatever the condition, drive with
caution. Accelerate and slow down
with care. If accelerating or down-
shifting too fast, the drive wheels
will lose even more traction. .
Allow more stopping distance under
these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pave-
ment.
. Allow greater following distances
on slippery roads.
. Watch for slippery spots (glare ice) .
These may appear on an otherwise
clear road in shaded areas. If a
patch of ice is seen ahead, brake
before reaching it. Try not to brake
while on the ice, and avoid any
sudden steering maneuvers.
. Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads.
. Snow can trap dangerous exhaust
gases under your vehicle. Keep
snow clear of the exhaust pipe and
from around your vehicle.
NOTE:
When driving on snow, select the SAVE
mode with the setup switch. By selecting
the SAVE mode, the engine output is
controlled appropriately for snow or slip-
pery road surfaces. This enables the vehi-
cle to start or accelerate smoothly.

8-4Maintenance and do-it-yourself
During the normal day-to-day operation o�f the
vehicle, general maintenance �bhould be per-
�formed regularly a�b pre�bcribed in thi�b �bection. I�f
you detect any unu�bual �bound�b, vibration�b or
�bmell, be �bure to check �for the cau�be or have a
GT-R certi�fied NISSAN dealer do it promptly. In
addition, you �bhould noti�fy a GT-R certi�fied
NISSAN dealer i�f you think that repair�b are
required. (
“Maintenance precaution�b”
page 8-6)
EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE
ITEMS
Additional information on the following
items with “*” is found later in this section.
Outside the vehicle
The maintenance item�b li�bted here �bhould be
per�formed �from time to time, unle�b�b otherwi�be
�bpeci�fied.
Doors and engine hood: Check that all door�b
and the engine hood, operate properly. Al�bo
en�bure that all latche�b lock �becurely. Lubricate
hinge�b, latche�b, latch pin�b, roller�b and link�b i�f
nece�b�bary. Make �bure that the �becondary latch
keep�b the hood �from opening when the primary
latch i�b relea�bed.
When driving in area�b u�bing road �balt or other
corro�bive material�b, check lubrication �frequently. Lights*:
Clean the headlight�b on a regular ba�bi�b.
Make �bure that the headlight�b, �btop light�b, tail
light�b, turn �bignal light�b, and other light�b are all
operating properly and in�btalled �becurely. Al�bo
check headlight aim.
Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*: When checking
the tire�b, make �bure no wheel nut�b are mi�b�bing,
and check �for any loo�be wheel nut�b. Tighten i�f
nece�b�bary.
Tire rotation*: Tire�b cannot be rotated becau�be
your vehicle i�b equipped with di�f�ferent �bized tire�b
in the �front and rear.
Tires*: Check the pre�b�bure with a gauge o�ften
and alway�b prior to long di�btance trip�b. I�f
nece�b�bary, adju�bt the pre�b�bure in all tire�b to the
pre�b�bure �bpeci�fied. Check care�fully �for damage,
cut�b or exce�b�bive wear.
NOTE:
. You can check the pressure of all four
tires on the multi function display. See
the separate Multi Function Display
Owner’s Manual.
. The tires of this vehicle are filled with
nitrogen gas. When the tire pressure is
low, fill the tires with nitrogen. Contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for
information on filling the tires with
nitrogen. .
If nitrogen is not available, compressed
air may be safely used under normal
driving conditions. However, NISSAN
recommends refilling with nitrogen for
maximum tire performance.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components: Replace grommet
�beal o�f tran�bmitter in TPMS, when replacing
each tire by reaching the wear limit.
Tire, wheel alignment and balance: I�f the
vehicle �bhould pull to either �bide while driving on
a �btraight and level road, or i�f you detect uneven
or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need �for
wheel alignment.
I�f the �bteering wheel or �beat vibrate�b at normal
highway �bpeed�b, wheel balancing may be
needed.
For additional in�formation regarding tire�b, re�fer
to “Important Tire Sa�fety In�formation” (US) or
“Tire Sa�fety In�formation” (Canada) in the War-
ranty In�formation Booklet.
Windshield: Clean the wind�bhield on a regular
ba�bi�b. Check the wind�bhield at lea�bt every �bix
month�b �for crack�b or other damage. Have a
damaged wind�bhield repaired by a quali�fied
repair �facility.
Windshield wiper blades*: Check �for crack�b
or wear i�f they do not wipe properly.
