TRUNK RELEASE POWER CANCEL
SWITCH
When the switch located inside the glove box is
in the OFF position
*1, the power to the trunk
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.
Then leave the vehicle and the Intelligent Key
with the valet and keep the mechanical key with you. (

OPENING AND CLOSING THE
TRUNK
When opening the trunk, first unlock it then lift
up the trunk lid so that it is fully open.
When closing the trunk, lower the trunk lid and
press it until it is securely locked in place. The
strap
*A(except for carbon trunk lid models) or
the handle
*B(for carbon trunk lid models) can
be used when the trunk lid is dirty.
NOTICE
. Open and close the trunk without
grasping the rear spoiler. Grasping
the rear spoiler to open or close the
trunk may damage the spoiler.
. 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 in front 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. .
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:
Ð Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
Ð Do not use electronic devices when filling.
Ð Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are
filling it.
Ð 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.
(
ªMalfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)º 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.

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.

NOTICE
Do not allow any object to cover the
sensors
*Eor apply glass cleaner on
them. Doing so will reduce the sensi-
tivity of the sensor, resulting in impro-
per operation.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects.
The outside mirror will operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position.
Adjusting the outside mirrors
1. Turn the switch right or left to select the right or left side mirror
*1.
2. Operate the control switch
*2to adjust the
mirror angle.
WARNING
Adjust the mirrors before starting to
drive. Adjusting the mirrors during driv-
ing is dangerous as it reduces the
driver's attention to the forward direc-
tion.
