2021 NISSAN GT-R ECO mode

Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light
The light will blink when the VDC system
or the traction control system is operat-
ing, thus alerting the driver that the
vehicle is nearing its traction limits. The
road surface may be slippery.
If the VDC warning light illuminates when
the VDC system is turned on, this light
alerts the driver to the fact that the VDC
system’s fail-safe mode is operating, for
example the VDC or hill start assist
system may not be functioning properly.
It is recommended you have the system
checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN deal-
er. If a malfunction occurs in the system,
the VDC system function will be canceled
but the vehicle is still driveable.

HEADLIGHTSFog may temporarily form inside the lens
of the exterior lights in the rain or in a car
wash. A temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens
causes the fog. This does not indicate
that there is a malfunction. If large drops
of water collect inside the lens, it is
recommended you contact a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer.ReplacingLED headlight:

remove any objects with a needle or small

nozzle. If the brakes do not operate properly,
have the brakes checked. It is recom-

SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKESYour vehicle is equipped with self-adjust-
ing brakes.
The disc-type brakes self-adjust every
time the brake pedal is applied.
HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKE SYS-
TEM (models without NCCB
(NISSAN Carbon Ceramic Brake)
package)This vehicle is equipped with high perfor-
mance brake pads that provide appro-
priate braking force in a broad range of
driving environments. Due to the material
used for the brake pads, the road wheels
may become more easily covered by
brake dust, however this does not indi-
cate that there is a malfunction.
The GT-R brake pads use material that
contains a lot of iron to maintain steady
braking performance even in high and
low temperatures. However, if the brake

3. To help prevent the vehicle from roll- ing into the street when parked on a
sloping drive way, it is a good practice
to turn the wheels as illustrated.
.
HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB:Turn the wheels into the curb and
move the vehicle forward until the
curb side wheel gently touches the
curb.
.
HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB: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: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.
For models without NCCB (NISSAN Car-
bon Ceramic Brake) package:
The GT-R uses brake pad materials that
have high metallic content. The brake pad
material helps maintain braking perfor-
mance 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
position. 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 wash-
ing 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.

Ceramic Brake) package:

Other tire-related terminology:
In addition to the many terms that
are defined throughout this sec-
tion, Intended Outboard Sidewall is
(1) the sidewall that contains a
whitewall, bears white lettering or
bears manufacturer, brand and/or
model name molding that is higher
or deeper than the same molding
on the other sidewall of the tire, or
(2) the outward facing sidewall of
an asymmetrical tire that has a
particular side that must always
face outward when mounted on a vehicle.
TYPES OF TIRES
WARNING
.
When changing or replacing tires,
be sure all four tires are of the
same type (Examples: Summer or
All Season) and construction. A
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer may
be able to help you with informa-
tion about tire type, size, speed
rating and availability.
. Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
. For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information” (Cana-
da) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.All-season tiresNISSAN specifies all-season tires on some
models to provide good performance for
use all year around, including snowy and
icy road conditions. All-season tires are identified by ALL SEASON on the tire
sidewall.
Summer tiresThe GT-R summer tires are made from a
specially formulated rubber to maximize
the vehicle’s performance capabilities.
Performance of summer tires is substan-
tially reduced when temperatures are less
than 32°F (0°C) so you must drive care-
fully. 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 tem-
peratures are less than 32°F (0°C).
