GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9The 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, it is recommended you
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:
GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9The 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, it is
recommended you contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.

clear.
. Check fluid levels such as engine oil, cool-
ant, brake fluid and window washer fluid as
frequently as possible, or at least whenever
you refuel.
. Check that all windows and lights are clean.
. Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
. Lock all doors.
. Position seat.
. Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
. Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to
do likewise.

NOTE:
. This vehicle includes spark plugs that
are designed for maximum perfor-
mance. If the start time becomes long-
er, the plugs may be fouled, making the
engine difficult to start. If this occurs,
start the engine using the procedure
described in this section.
. A click sound may be heard when the
brake pedal is depressed and released.
This is normal.
. A low rattling operating sound may
occur when the engine is started or
stopped. This is because of the trans-
mission gear design, light flywheel and
dry sump lubrication system used in
this transmission. This does not indi-
cate that there is a malfunction. This
sound is likely to occur in particular if
the engine is stopped when the tem-
perature of the transmission oil is high.

5-16Starting and driving
medical devices or other electronic
products that are susceptible to
magnetic force close to the shift
lever.
. Do not downshift abruptly on slip-
pery roads. This may cause a loss of
control.
. If the shift lever is moved from
&Rto
&A
F&Mposition, or&A
F&Mto&R
position before the vehicle stops,
you may not be able to shift gear or
it may take longer to shift gear.
Make sure to depress the brake
pedal and check that the vehicle
has stopped before shifting.
CAUTION
.Because the vehicle includes a dual
clutch transmission that automati-
cally controls the clutch and shifting
operation of the manual transmis-
sion, whenever the shift lever is in a
position other than
&Por&N, the
vehicle will begin to move slowly, in
the same way as when the clutch in
a manual transmission vehicle is partially engaged. Keep the brake
pedal firmly depressed when the
vehicle is stopped. In some circum-
stances the vehicle may not start
moving on its own, however this
does not indicate that there is a
malfunction.
NOTICE
.
When the vehicle is stopped on a
hill, do not hold the vehicle in place
by depressing the accelerator pedal.
Doing so may cause the clutch to
overheat and result in transmission
damage. Use the brakes to prevent
the vehicle from moving.
. The GT-R dual clutch transmission is
provided with a dry sump lubrication
system that improves efficiency and
ensures reliability under high g-
force conditions. When oil viscosity
is high at low temperatures, it takes
longer for all components to be
sufficiently lubricated. Thus, when
the transmission temperature is low
(approximately 1048F (408C) , do not
accelerate rapidly or run the engine faster than 4,000 rpm.

5-20Starting and driving
Control on uphill and curving roads:GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9A low gear is maintained that suits the degree of
the slope or curve to allow smooth driving with a
small number of shifts.
Control on downhill roads:
GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9The adaptive shift control system shifts to a low
gear that suits the degree of the slope, and uses
the engine brake to reduce the number of times
that the foot brake must be used.
Control on winding roads:
GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9A low gear is maintained on continuous curves
that involve repeated acceleration and decelera-
tion, so that smooth acceleration is available
instantly when the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed.
NOTE:
Adaptive shift control may not operate
when the transmission oil temperature is
low immediately after the start of driving
or when it is very hot. If this occurs, switch
to the
&Mposition and downshift if neces-
sary.
&MpositionGUID-DE79F9AE-0D46-4050-B7FB-20527543F2F8
Changing to the&Mposition:GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9To change to the&Mposition from the&A
position, either move the shift lever to the&M
side or operate the paddle shifter. The position
indicator indicates the gear position with the
indication of ªMº.
If the paddle shifter is used, in one operation the
&Aposition changes to the&Mposition and the
gear position shifts (except for downshifting
from 2nd gear to 1st gear) . For the downshift
operation from the 2nd gear to the 1st gear, the
first paddle shifter operation changes the
&A
position to the&Mposition, and the second
operation changes the gear position.
To return to the
&Aposition, either move the shift
lever to the
&Mside again or pull the right side
(up sift side) paddle shifter for approximately 2
seconds. The position indicator indicates the
gear position with the indication of ªAº.JVS0791X
Changing gears using paddle shifters:GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9
NOTE:
The vehicle cannot be accelerated from a
stop condition while the gear is in the 2nd
to 6th position. When accelerating the
vehicle from a stop condition, use the 1st
gear position.
To shift up, pull the paddle shifter on the right
