FLOOR MATSGUID-EC8FCCBC-D4B8-4D06-AE34-2F6A9E13C4FD
WARNING
To avoid potential pedal interference
that may result in a collision, injury or
death:
.NEVER place a floor mat on top of
another floor mat in the driver front
position or install them upside
down or backwards.
. Use only genuine NISSAN floor
mats or equivalent floor mats that
are specifically designed for use in
your vehicle model and model year.
. Properly position the mats in the
floorwell using the floor mat posi-
tioning hooks. (
ªFloor mat in-
stallationº page 7-8)
. Make sure the floor mat does not
interfere with pedal operation.
. Periodically check the floor mats to
make sure they are properly in-
stalled.
. After cleaning the vehicle interior,
check the floor mats to make sure
they are properly installed. The use of genuine NISSAN floor mats can
extend the life of your vehicle carpet and make it
easier to clean the interior. Mats should be
maintained with regular cleaning and replaced if
they become excessively worn.

3. Make sure the floor mat does not interferewith pedal operation. With the ignition in the
OFF position and the shift lever in the
&P

pedals. The floor mat must not interfere with
pedal operation or prevent the pedal from
returning to its normal position. It is recom-
mended you see a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer for details about installing the floor
mats in your vehicle.

the retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye, or
chemical solvents to clean the seat
belts, since these materials may se-
verely weaken the seat belt webbing.

MOST COMMON FACTORS CON-
TRIBUTING TO VEHICLE CORRO-
SION
GUID-7A151D9E-D588-4251-8D20-4D2F2E257DA9. The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt
and debris in body panel sections, cavities,
and other areas.
. Damage to paint and other protective coat-
ings caused by gravel and stone chips or
minor traffic accidents.

GUID-277B6C42-E46B-4C04-95B8-D0C538E853B3
MoistureGUID-C93C1A17-821D-4EF7-9691-D9EF6CDDA506Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the
vehicle body underside can accelerate corro-
sion. Wet floor coverings will not dry completely
inside the vehicle, and should be removed for
drying to avoid floor panel corrosion.
Relative humidityGUID-B625B9E1-0536-4B11-99A9-97A1EADE7CE6Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high
relative humidity, especially those areas where
the temperatures stay above freezing where
atmospheric pollution exists, or where road salt
is used.
TemperatureGUID-5221CCD2-9768-41EB-AFE4-BE246D0DDF1AA temperature increase will accelerate the rate
of corrosion to those parts which are not well
ventilated.
Air pollutionGUID-243E0D12-D57A-49A3-B55A-3CEEA95DB4A3Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in the air
in coastal areas, or heavy road salt use will
accelerate the corrosion process. Road salt will
also accelerate the disintegration of paint
surfaces.
TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM
CORROSION
GUID-9315A8F3-048A-4979-8020-1AD6BA90A7BA.Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep the
vehicle clean.
. Always check for minor damage to the paint
and repair it as soon as possible.
. Keep drain holes at the bottom of the doors
open to avoid water accumulation.
. Check the underbody for accumulation of
sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with water
as soon as possible.
CORROSION PROTECTION


> (GLW    0RGHO 0< 1,66$1 *755 20(58 @
CAUTION
.NEVER remove dirt, sand or other
debris from the passenger compart-
ment by washing it out with a hose.
Remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
. Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electronic
components inside the vehicle as
this may damage them.
Chemicals used for road surface deicing are
extremely corrosive. They accelerate corrosion
and deterioration of underbody components
such as the exhaust system, fuel and brake
lines, brake cables, floor pan and fenders.
In winter, the underbody must be cleaned
periodically.
For additional protection against rust and
corrosion, which may be required in some areas,
it is recommended you consult a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.

GUID-E98D7125-8032-452B-B9FF-1B3C53BBB5F2Some day-to-day and regular maintenance is
essential to maintain your vehicle good mechan-
ical condition, as well as its emission and engine
performance.
It is the owner's responsibility to make sure that
the scheduled maintenance, as well as general
maintenance, is performed.
As the vehicle owner, you are the only one who
can ensure that your vehicle receives the proper
maintenance care. You are a vital link in the
maintenance chain.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCEGUID-E0B2C09A-66B6-476D-8575-FB97D809FEBDFor your convenience, both required and op-
tional scheduled maintenance items are de-
scribed and listed in your NISSAN Service and
Maintenance Guide. You must refer to that guide
to ensure that necessary maintenance is per-
formed on your vehicle at regular intervals.
GENERAL MAINTENANCEGUID-D2D0708D-C35D-4699-82DB-19B77AAFBDACGeneral maintenance includes those items
which should be checked during normal day-
to-day operation. They are essential for proper
vehicle operation. It is your responsibility to
perform these procedures regularly as pre-
scribed.
Performing general maintenance checks re-
quires minimal mechanical skill and only a fewgeneral automotive tools.
These checks or inspections can be done by
yourself, a qualified technician or, if you prefer, a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

systems such as engine, transmission, suspen-
sion and brakes.

you have the systems checked and serviced by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

and are kept up to date with the latest service
information through technical bulletins, service
tips, and in-dealer information systems. They are

cles
