accident.
. Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely fastened to the proper
buckle.
. Do not wear the seat belt inside
out or twisted. Doing so may
reduce its effectiveness.
. Do not allow more than one
person to use the same seat belt.
. Never carry more people in the
vehicle than there are seat belts.
. If the seat belt warning light
glows continuously while the
ignition is turned ON with all
doors closed and all seat belts
fastened, it may indicate a mal-
function in the system. It is re-
commended you have the system
checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
. No changes should be made to
the seat belt system. For exam-
ple, do not modify the seat belt,
add material, or install devices
that may change the seat belt
routing or tension. Doing so may
affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modifying or tam-
pering with the seat belt system
may result in serious personal injury.
. Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with
the retractor. It is recommended
you see a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
. Removal and installation of the
pretensioner system components
should be done by a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer.
. All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hard-
ware, should be inspected after
any collision by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recom-
mends that all seat belt assem-
blies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was
minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate
properly. Seat belt assemblies
not in use during a collision
should also be inspected and
replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
. All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected
after any collision. Always follow
the restraint manufacturer’s in- spection instructions and repla-
cement recommendations. The
child restraints should be re-
placed if they are damaged.

WARNING
Safety

Fastening the seat belts1. Adjust the seat. (
“Seats” page 1-2)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into
the buckle until you hear and feel the
latch engage.
.
The retractor is designed to lock
during a sudden stop or on im-
pact. A slow pulling motion per-
mits the belt to move, and allows
you some freedom of movement
in the seat.
.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled
from its fully retracted position,
firmly pull the belt and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of
the retractor.

The ELR locks the seat belt when the
vehicle slows down rapidly or during
impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode or child restraint mode locks the
seat belt for child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated the seat
belt cannot be extended again until the
seat belt tongue is detached from the
buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt
returns to the ELR mode after the seat
belt is fully retracted.

status light” page 1-42)
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that seatbacks are comple-
tely secured in the latched position.
If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an
accident or sudden stop.
Unfastening the seat beltsTo unfasten the seat belt, push the
button on the buckle. The seat belt
automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operationSeat belt retractors are designed to lock
seat belt movement by two separate
methods:
. When the belt is pulled quickly from
the retractor.
. When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat
belts, check the operation as follows:
. Grasp the shoulder belt and pull for-
ward quickly. The retractor should
lock and restrict further belt move-
ment.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check or if you have any question about
seat belt operation, see a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.

NOTICE
It is recommended that you only use
the following specified fluids and
parts in the GT-R to avoid possible
vehicle damage.ENGINE OILMobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic oil) or
equivalent
Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the
factory fill oil. The VR38 engine with its
plasma-sprayed bores was developed
using this oil. NISSAN cannot ensure
proper engine operation and durability if
other non-equivalent synthetic oil is used.
If Mobil 1 (0W-40) or equivalent is not
available, Mobil 1 (10W-40) (100% syn-
thetic) or equivalent may be used; how-
ever, some performance loss may be
noticed.
Furthermore, replacement of the engine
oil with MOTUL NISMO COMPETITION OIL
type 2193E(5W40) is recommended for
the frequent high performance driving
opportunities.
NISSAN cannot ensure proper engine
operation and durability if other non-
equivalent synthetic oil is used.The use of additives, chemical materials
or abrasive compounds is prohibited.
The use of additives, chemical materials,
abrasive compounds or other high per-
formance engine oils may cause internal
engine damage.

GT-R SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

For models without NCCB (NISSAN Car-
bon Ceramic Brake) package:
NISSAN generally recommends to replace
all four sets of brake pads and disc rotors
at the same time to maintain maximum
brake performance.However, replacing only the brake pads
may be allowed in some cases (four
wheels or only front wheels depending
on the conditions). A GT-R certified tech-
nician must inspect the vehicle and
determine that only the brake pads need
to be replaced. In this case, replacing all
brake pads and disc rotors as a set is not
necessary.
Note that the replacement of brake pads
and the disc rotors as a set on all four
wheels should be performed when a GT-R
certified technician determines that this
is the correct repair.
If the inside of the disc rotors are cold
during the winter and the surface be-
comes hot due to a heavy force being
applied repeatedly to the brakes, cracks
may occur near the coolant hole on the
surface of the disc rotor. Cracks may also
occur due to a heavy force being repeat-
edly applied to the brakes during high
performance driving. In these cases it
may be necessary to replace the disc
rotors or brake pads depending on the
condition of the crack. We recommend
contacting a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
for replacement.
NCCB (NISSAN Carbon Ceramic
Brake) (if so equipped)Replacement of brake pads and
disc rotorsWhen replacing brake pads and brake
disc rotors, NISSAN recommends repla-
cing two sets of them at the same time.
