2021 NISSAN GT-R Owners Manual

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.

tem” page 5-54)

without NCCB (NISSAN Carbon
Ceramic Brake) package)The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires
replacement, it will make a high pitched
scraping sound when the vehicle is in
motion. This scraping sound will first
occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After the wear of the brake
pad is increased, the sound will be heard all the time even if the brake pedal is not
depressed. Have the brakes checked as
soon as possible if the warning sound is
heard.

the front seat, move the seat to the
rearmost position.

direction. Always follow the booster
seat manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING
.The front air bags ordinarily will
not inflate in the event of a side
impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision.
Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of acci-
dents.
. The front passenger air bag will
not inflate if the passenger air
bag status light is lit or if the front
passenger seat is unoccupied.
(
“Front passenger air bag
and status light” page 1-42)
. The seat belts and the front air
bags are most effective when you
are sitting well back and upright
in the seat. The front air bags
inflate with great force. Even with
the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System, if you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, you
are at greater risk of injury or
death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries
from the front air bag if you are
up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seat-
