VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
OFF MODE
GUID-A712B23F-22C8-422B-AAEC-C95B66DCFF94Always make sure the VDC is ON before driving
the vehicle by checking that the VDC OFF
indicator lights on the meter and the VDC set-up
switch are not illuminated. The GT-R is a high
performance vehicle and the VDC must be on/
activated 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 component(s) by overheating or ex-
cessive force.
. Damage to the powertrain or any
drivetrain component(s) that occurs
when there is a record in the Vehicle
Status Data Recorder (VSDR) that
the vehicle was driven with VDC off
during the period when the damage
was incurred is excluded from war-
ranty coverage.
See your 2016 Warranty Information Booklet for
important related information and warranty
coverage exclusions. See also section 2

SUMMER TIRESGUID-95CE2054-E324-42E2-8080-D3A2CDC73B95The GT-R summer tires are made from a
specially formulated rubber to maximize the
vehicle's performance capabilities. Performance
of summer tires is substantially reduced when
temperatures are less than 328F (08C) so you
must drive carefully. NISSAN recommends the
use of winter or all-season tires on all four
wheels if you plan to operate your vehicle in
snowy or icy conditions when temperatures are
less than 328F (08C) .
WARNING
Never use summer tires when the
temperature is below

GTR-22GT-R Overview
Suspension and wheel alignmentGUID-717B8FCC-38D9-49B8-900D-CE3AC60083CD.Check the steering and suspension system
and other links for loose and/or damaged
parts.
. Measure and adjust the wheel alignment. It
is recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer to adjust the wheel
alignment to the recommended setting for
normal driving.
Wheels and tiresGUID-DF739C54-232F-4D22-8411-3447FCC6AF9E.Check tire wear and cracking.
. Inspect the tire side wall for damage.
. Check the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure as necessary when the tires are
cold. (
ªWheels and tiresº page GTR-
16) If you do not drive under the conditions
listed in this section, see
ªWheels and
tiresº page 8-32.
. Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.
Check if there is no deformation on the
contact surface of the wheel nuts.
. Make sure the wheel nuts are tight.
(
ªWheels and tiresº page 8-32)
. Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.
. Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel
rotates smoothly without any friction. Check these with the tires removed whenever an
inspection is performed with the vehicle
jacked up.
. Make sure the tire has not slipped on the
wheel causing the assembly to be out of
balance. The reference marks on the tire and
wheel should be aligned. If the reference
marks are not aligned, the tire has slipped on
the wheel. Have the wheels/tires reba-
lanced. Make sure the old reference marks
are erased and new reference marks are
applied to the wheel and tire. When instal-
ling new tires on the wheels, make sure new
reference marks are applied to the wheels
and tires. (
ªWheels and tiresº page
GTR-16)
. Make sure that the TPMS sensor installation
nuts and the sensor valve are tight and there
is no nitrogen leak.
BrakesGUID-9F9BF18B-725B-4D67-9B77-FE9C5E2B01AC.Check for the heat deterioration of the
brakes and parts around the brakes.
. Check the condition of the brake pads and
disc rotors and replace them as necessary.
Engine and powertrainGUID-6D6A93B6-167E-482B-B7DB-6E5B685097F5.Check the engine, transmission, differential
and under the vehicle for oil and coolant
leaks.
. Inspect the area surrounding the catalytic
converter for heat deterioration.
. Inspect and confirm the clearance between
the exhaust finisher and rear bumper is more
than 0.24 in (6 mm) (up/down) and more
than 0.20 in (5 mm) (left/right) .
. The clutch clearance and shift fork position
may need to be adjusted.
. Inspect the dust boot of the drive shaft
universal joint for cracks or damage.
. Check that there is no abnormal noise,
vibrations or warning lights illuminated when
making tight turns at slow speed (for tight
corner braking phenomenon) .

REFUELING PRECAUTIONSGUID-B30F7182-F54D-4636-B6F0-BE4454974C1A
WARNING
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. The fuel tank
is full at the first automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is
located as low as possible to lower the vehicle
center of gravity. The tank is also divided into
two parts. This fuel tank design causes higher
pressures inside the tank than other vehicles so
fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank is more than half full.
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may be a hissing
noise. Open the cap slowly, releasing the
pressure from the tank gradually. Also, 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. Refuel slowly or refuel after the vehicle has cooled.
GASOLINE SMELLGUID-C4342B46-9E75-40FD-9A7E-8B889C6F3C49The fuel temperature is higher when the vehicle
is hot. This may cause a gasoline smell from the
vehicle. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. The smell will go away when the
fuel temperature has cooled.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
INDICATES HIGHER TEMPERATURE
GUID-F95A7E17-06A2-4ED7-B463-A156390578EBHeat from the engine compartment, radiator and
intercoolers can affect the outside temperature
display. The outside temperature display may
indicate a higher than actual temperature while
driving or stopped. This is normal.
IDLE SPEED IS NOT STEADYGUID-7097ABDE-3830-4D7D-A455-813F21F63D62The idle speed may not be steady when the
engine compartment is extremely hot. This is
normal. The engine speed will be steady when
the engine cools down.
In this case, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may come on. After a few driving trips, the MIL
should turn off. If the light remains on after a few
driving trips, it is recommended you have the
vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
ENGINE SPEED IS RESTRICTEDGUID-587FD63C-797C-46FE-8FC5-922D6B690C2FTo help protect the engine, the maximum engine
speed is automatically controlled in the following
conditions:
.
Revving the engine with the shift lever in the
&Por&Nposition: The maximum engine
speed is 4,300 RPM
. Revving the engine when the engine oil is at
a low (below 328F (08C)) or extremely high
(over 2758F (1358C)) temperature: The
maximum engine speed is 4,000 RPM (The
&Mposition will automatically change to the
&Aposition.)
ENGINE OUTPUTGUID-C14E0C84-C7F0-4B8A-8FEF-2A734F415F94
High altitudeGUID-445B3E98-7529-4F53-8B24-429570722800To protect the engine, engine output is con-
trolled so that it does not increase at altitude of
approximately 3,281 ft (1,000 m) or higher.
Engine output according to the
coolant temperature
GUID-3F169CBB-5E6D-4B26-8539-DAAEBB0E590EThe engine output is controlled at a low level
when the engine coolant temperature is lower
than approximately 1588F (708C) or higher than
2308F (1108C). This is not a malfunction.
If the temperature is lower than approximately

1-8Safety Ð Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
.Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely fastened to the proper
buckle.
. Do not wear the seat belt inside out
or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
. Do not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.
. Never carry more people in the
vehicle than there are seat belts.
. If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is
turned ON with all doors closed and
all seat belts fastened, it may in-
dicate a malfunction in the system.
It is recommended you have the
system checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
. No changes should be made to the
seat belt system. For example, do
not modify the seat belt, add mate-
rial, or install devices that may
change the seat belt routing or
tension. Doing so may affect the
operation of the seat belt system.
Modifying or tampering with the
seat belt system may result in
serious personal injury. .
Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with the
retractor. It is recommended you
see a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
. Removal and installation of the
pretensioner system components
should be done by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
. All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after any colli-
sion by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced un-
less the collision was minor and the
belts show no damage and continue
to operate properly. Seat belt as-
semblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be inspected and
replaced if either damage or impro-
per operation is noted.
. All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected after
any collision. Always follow the
restraint manufacturer's inspection
instructions and replacement re- commendations. The child restraints
should be replaced if they are
damaged.
