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 following types of driving
until the mileage shown below has been
reached.
Until 300 miles (500 km):
. Do not depress the accelerator pedal more
than halfway 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 fully
depressed. Depress the pedal slowly.
. Avoid unnecessary quick steering and
abrupt braking. .
Drive with the suspension setup switch in
the COMF 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 recommended between 1st and
4th gears.
. Avoid unnecessary quick steering and
abrupt braking.
. Drive with the suspension setup switch in
the COMF mode to allow more suspension
stroke.
Even though the mileage reaches over 1,200
miles (2,000 km) , the clutch may take longer to
properly engage if the vehicle is mainly driven in
town at a low speed. NISSAN recommends
breaking in the clutch at a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
WHEEL ALIGNMENTGUID-521F5854-07A2-4AA7-8ABC-458B6FD6D6B7Do not adjust the wheel alignment until the
mileage reaches 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 can be adjusted by a GT-R

3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling intothe street when parked on a sloping drive
way, it is a good practice to turn the wheels
as illustrated.
.HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB:*1
Turn the wheels into the curb and move
the vehicle forward until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.
.HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB:*2
Turn the wheels away from the curb and
move the vehicle back until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.
.HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO
CURB:
*3
Turn the wheels toward the side of the
road so the vehicle will move away from
the center of the road if it moves.
4. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK
position.
The GT-R uses brake pad materials that have
high metallic content. The brake pad material
helps maintain braking performance in a wide
range of weather and driving conditions.
For the first 3,000 - 6,000 miles (5,000 -
10,000 km) of the vehicle's service life, and for
the first 3,000 - 6,000 miles (5,000 - 10,000
km) after a brake replacement, the brake pad to
brake rotor clearance is very small. When
parking, apply the parking brake and move the shift lever to the
&Pposition. Idle the engine for
more than 20 seconds without depressing the
brake pedal. This allows the brake pads to move
away from the rotor so the pad does not contact
the rotor.
Additionally, the brakes must be dry before
parking the vehicle after driving on wet roads or
after washing the vehicle. If the roads are wet,
lightly apply the brakes for a short distance
before parking the vehicle to dry the brakes.
After washing the vehicle, dry the brakes by
driving on a dry road for a few miles and apply
the brakes normally based on traffic and road
conditions.
The metallic brake pads and brake disc rotor
may rust together when the brakes are not
applied:
. If the vehicle is not idled for 20 seconds
without the brakes applied, or if the brakes
are applied when the vehicle is shut off, the
rotor and pads can rust together, even when
the brake pads are dry.
. If the brakes are wet when the vehicle is
parked and the parking brake is applied for a
long time.
It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer if the brake pads and brake rotor
have rusted together.

7-2Appearance and care
GUID-E46A8FB0-6EFB-4C80-B313-C889C57C74CEIn order to maintain the appearance of your
vehicle, it is important to take proper care of it.
To protect the paint surfaces, wash your vehicle
as soon as you can:
.after a rainfall to prevent possible damage
from acid rain
. after driving on coastal roads
. when contaminants such as soot, bird
droppings, tree sap, metal particles or bugs
get on the paint surface
. when dust or mud builds up on the surface
Whenever possible, store or park your vehicle
inside a garage or in a covered area.
When it is necessary to park outside, park in a
shady area or protect the vehicle with a body
cover.
Be careful not to scratch the paint surface
when putting on or removing the body
cover.MATTE PAINT CARE (if so equipped)GUID-1FCB2F94-F36A-46F1-A768-453898D8AB04If your vehicle is equipped with matte paint,
special care is necessary to clean your vehicle to
maintain the appearance of the matte paint.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the proper matte paint
care instructions can permanently af-
fect the appearance of the paint. Im-
proper care can result in shiny spots,
rub marks or other damage. This da-
mage can only be repaired at a body
shop trained in matte paint repair.
Damage resulting from improper matte
paint care is not covered under NIS-
SAN's new vehicle limited warranty.
. Do not use an automatic car wash.
. Do not rub the paint.
. Only use cleaners and soaps that
are specifically formulated for matte
paint.
. Do not use terry cloth towels to
wash or dry the vehicle.
. Do not rub repeatedly with any
cleaning material to minimize the
risk of burnishing a shiny spot. .
Hand wash with a wet microfiber
cloth, dry with clean damp chamois,
and use light pressure with a micro-
fiber towel. Minimize the pressure
you use.
. Test all cleaning products on a
hidden part of the vehicle (such as
under the rocker sills) to make
certain they do not affect the ap-
pearance of the matte paint.
. Pre-rinse the vehicle before wash-
ing to remove coarse dirt that can
scratch the paint.
. Do not wash using a pressure
washer.
. Spot treat heavy dirt accumulation
with a cleaner made for matte paint.
. Do not use solvent based tar and
bug remover products to clean the
vehicle.
. Do not use waxes and sealers, even
those specifically formulated for
matte paint. These products may
affect the appearance (add shine)
of the matte paint.

7-6Appearance and care
OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLESGUID-62830149-0255-422F-A11B-5F865AFE3C51After driving on a road where salt is used in
winter, immediately wash and clean the outside
door handles that are provided with a special
coating. This will keep the beautiful finish longer.
TIRE DRESSINGGUID-BA736799-CE6D-4B20-8D28-533F7C86B2DENISSAN does not recommend the use of tire
dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating to
the tires to help reduce discoloration of the
rubber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires, it
may react with the coating and form a com-
pound. This compound may come off the tire
while driving and stain the vehicle paint.
If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the
following precautions:
.Use a water-based tire dressing. The coat-
ing on the tire dissolves more easily with an
oil-based tire dressing.
. Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help
prevent it from entering the tire tread/
grooves (where it would be difficult to
remove) .
. Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry
towel. Make sure the tire dressing is
completely removed from the tire tread/
grooves. .
Allow the tire dressing to dry as recom-
mended by tire dressing manufacturer.
DRY CARBON FIBER PARTS (if so
equipped)
GUID-185523BE-05B7-425C-8075-2C3EB608D87CBecause of the characteristics of the material,
the dry carbon fiber parts may turn yellow due to
exposure to ultraviolet rays. The surfaces of dry
carbon fiber parts are coated with a special
ultraviolet protection paint. To maintain the
appearance of these parts, it is important to
take proper care of them.
NOTICE
.Do not use compound agents on
clear-coated dry carbon fiber parts
(such as the NISMO model's bum-
per, side sill protector, rear spoiler,
etc.) .
. Do not use any chemical agents
(wax, coating agent, compound
agent, etc.) on matte-painted dry
carbon fiber parts (such as the rear
diffuser, a rear spoiler that is of
specifications other than NISMO,
etc.) .
. When dry carbon fiber parts become
dirty, prepare a dilute cleaning solu- tion by mixing one capful of mild
detergent in a bucket of water, and
use that mixture to clean the parts.
NOTE:
The surfaces of the dry carbon fiber parts
are lightly coated like a race car so that
you can feel the proper texture of real
carbon, which may feel rough. This is
normal.

GUID-587A05EB-B746-44D9-9B00-E538B96ADC8COccasionally remove loose dust from the interior
trim, plastic parts and seats using a vacuum
cleaner or soft bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl and
leather surfaces with a clean, soft cloth dam-
pened in mild soap solution, then wipe clean
with a dry soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order to
maintain the appearance of the leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the
manufacturer's recommendations. Some fabric
protectors contain chemicals that may stain or
bleach the seat material.
Use a cloth dampened only with water, to clean
the meter and gauge lens.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot
steam cleaners) on the seat. This can
damage the seat or occupant classifica-
tion sensor. This can also affect the
operation of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION
.Never use benzine, thinner, or any
similar material.
. For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dam-
pened with water. Never use a rough
cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner or
any kind of solvent or paper towel
with a chemical cleaning agent.
They will scratch or cause discolora-
tion to the lens.
. Do not spray any liquid such as
water on the meter lens. Spraying
liquid may cause the system to
malfunction.
NOTICE
.Small dirt particles can be abrasive
and damaging to the leather sur-
faces and should be removed
promptly. Do not use saddle soap,
car waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning
fluids, solvents, detergents or am-
monia-based cleaners as they may
damage the leather's natural finish.
. Never use fabric protectors unless recommended by the manufacturer.
. Do not use glass or plastic cleaner
on meter or gauge lens covers. It
may damage the lens cover.
AIR FRESHENERSGUID-08869D0A-DE23-4918-9E2F-A4B3C4A445B8Most air fresheners use a solvent that could
affect the vehicle interior. If an air freshener is
used, take the following precautions:
.Hanging-type air fresheners can cause
permanent discoloration when they contact
vehicle interior surfaces. Place the air
freshener in a location that allows it to hang
free and not contact an interior surface.
. Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on
the vents. These products can cause
immediate damage and discoloration when
spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer's
instructions before using air fresheners.
