light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not
operate in an accident. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your
vehicle checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
Transmission warning light
This light warns of the following malfunctions.
Transmission system malfunction:
The light blinks if a malfunction in the transmis-
sion system occurs. If the light blinks, certain
gear positions may become unusable, so that
the vehicle may become undrivable. Have the
system inspected promptly by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
Transmission oil temperature high:
The light illuminates if the transmission oil
temperature becomes unusually high. If the light
illuminates, avoid driving at high speed or at high
engine speed until the light turns off. The light
will turn off after a short period of time and the
vehicle can then be driven normally. If the light
illuminates frequently, contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
NOTICE
If the light continues to illuminate, the
engine output may be reduced to pre-
vent transmission damage. Transmission clutch temperature high:
The light illuminates if clutch temperature
becomes unusually high. If the light illuminates,
pull off the road in a safe area and idle the
engine. When the light turns off, driving can be
resumed. If the light illuminates frequently,
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
NOTICE
.
Continuing to drive with the light on
could cause serious damage to the
transmission.
. If the light continues to illuminate,
the vehicle cannot be driven be-
cause the engine output may be
reduced and the clutch may be
reduced to keep the clutch disen-
gaged.
R mode start function:
If the R mode start function is used 4 times
continuously, the function may be disabled and
cannot be turned on for protection. While the
function is disabled, the warning light illumi-
nates. When the warning light goes off, the
function can be used again. (

> (GLW    0RGHO 5' @
When the warning light illuminates, perform cool
down driving (driving 1.3 mile (2 km) in 5th or
6th gear at a speed of approximately 37 - 50
MPH (60 - 80 km/h) while checking the
temperature of the transmission oil until the
warning light goes off.
NOTICE
While the warning light is illuminated,
the engine output is controlled so that
it does not increase.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
The light will blink when the VDC system or the
traction control system is operating, thus alerting
the driver that the vehicle is nearing its traction
limits. The road surface may be slippery.
If the VDC warning light illuminates when the
VDC system is turned on, this light alerts the
driver to the fact that the VDC system's fail-safe
mode is operating, for example the VDC or hill
start assist system may not be functioning
properly. Have the system checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. If a malfunction occurs
in the system, the VDC system function will be
canceled but the vehicle is still driveable. (

Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator light may also come on
steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or
if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make
sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 US
gallons (12 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.

Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:

emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Check the fuel-filler cap. If
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. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking Ð An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h) . 2) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo
being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. You do not need
to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
NOTICE
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.
