.If the vehicle becomes involved in
a collision but the pretensioner is
not activated, it is recommended
to have the pretensioner system
checked and, if necessary, re-
placed by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the pretensioners. This
is to prevent damage to or acci-
dental activation of the preten-
sioners. Tampering with the
pretensioner system may result
in serious personal injury.
. Work around and on the preten-
sioners should be done by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Installa-
tion of electrical equipment
should also be done by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Un-
authorized electrical test equip-
ment and probing devices should
not be used on the pretensioners.
. If you need to dispose of a pre-
tensioner or scrap the vehicle, it is
recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. In-
correct disposal procedures
could cause personal injury. The pretensioner system may activate
with the supplemental air bag system in
certain types of collisions. Working with
the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the
seat belt when the vehicle becomes
involved in certain types of collisions,
helping to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat
belt retractor. These seat belts are used
the same way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is
released and a loud noise may be heard.
The smoke is not harmful, and it does not
indicate a fire. Care should be taken not
to inhale it as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air
promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters
allow the seat belt to release webbing (if
necessary) to reduce forces against the
chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light

.If the AWD warning light blinks on
when you are driving:
— blinks rapidly (about twice a
second):
Pull off the road in a safe area,
and idle the engine. The driv-
ing mode will change to RWD
to prevent the AWD system
from malfunctioning. If the
warning light turns off, you
can drive again. This does
not indicate that there is a
malfunction.
— blinks slowly (about once every 2 seconds):
Pull off the road in a safe area,
and idle the engine. Check
that all tire sizes are the same
as that specified on the Tire
and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door
opening, tire pressure is cor-
rect and tires are not worn.

.Be sure to install the specified
size of tires on the four wheels.
NOTE:
. If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h), the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
. The tires of this vehicle are filled
with nitrogen gas. When the tire
pressure is low, fill the tires with
nitrogen gas. It is recommended you
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer for information on filling the
tires with nitrogen gas.

NOTICE
It is recommended that you only use
the following specified fluids and
parts in the GT-R to avoid possible
vehicle damage.ENGINE OIL

However, the brake pads can be sepa-
rately replaced only when a GT-R certified
technician judges that the brake disc
rotors are reusable, based on a measured
weight and a check for scratches and
cracks.EXHAUST MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPETThe GT-R exhaust system is designed to
provide the maximum vehicle perfor-
mance and to protect the vehicle from
high exhaust gas temperatures.
If non-genuine GT-R exhaust system
parts are used it is possible that the
muffler or other exhaust system parts will
deform and cause damage to the under-
body. Non-genuine GT-R exhaust system
parts can also affect vehicle performance
and possibly lead to turbocharger, engine
or power train related parts including
transmission, damage.
Also, do not remove the trunk carpet from
the vehicle for any reason. The carpet
insulates the vehicle interior from the
heat of the muffler and from the noise
of the transmission.
TITANIUM MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPET (if so equipped)
NOTICE
Never allow polishes with com-
pounds, because there is a possibi-
lity that the titanium muffler finisher
coloring will be changed.
GT-R Overview
GTR-7

This vehicle contains Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue). The
life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant
is 24,000 miles (38,400 km) or 2 years.
Mixing any other type of coolant or the
use of non-distilled water will reduce the
life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
Refer to the GT-R Service and Mainte-
nance Guide for more details.
If the cooling system frequently re-
quires coolant, it is recommended you
have it checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
Check that the level of coolant is between
MAX and MIN on the pressurized radiator
reservoir. If the level is below the mid-
point, the amount of coolant circulating
may be insufficient for maximum vehicle
performance, possibly causing engine
overheating or other trouble.
For the coolant level and mixture ratio
when engaging in performance driving,
