warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is pushed to ON. It turns
off soon after the engine is started.
If the AWD system malfunctions, the
warning light will either remain illumi-
nated or blink. (

(AWD)” page 5-42)

mation label” page 10-14)
If the tire pressure is insuffi-
cient, fill with nitrogen gas. It
is recommended you contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
about filling with nitrogen
gas. If nitrogen gas is not
available, compressed air
may be safely used under
normal driving conditions. However, NISSAN recom-
mends refilling with nitrogen
gas for maximum tire perfor-
mance.
. If the warning light is still on after
the above operations, have your
vehicle checked as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended you have
the vehicle checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
or
Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. It is recommended you have the
system checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-
lock function is turned off. The brake
system then operates normally, but with-
out anti-lock assistance. (

5 minutes have passed while the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
Be sure to move the shift lever out of the
position after driving in reverse.Brake pad wear warning (models
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.

NOTE:
If the vehicle is driven in a way which
causes the rear wheels to slip, the AWD
clutch temperature will increase and
the warning indicator may flash. Con-
tinuing to drive in way that causes the
warning light to flash may cause the
clutch to reach excessive temperatures

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

. The materials used for the brake
disc rotor and brake pads for NCCB
(NISSAN Carbon Ceramic Brake) are
different from those used for the
standard brake system in GT-R. The
rotor and pads will be protected
from adhesion caused by rusting.
However, never park your vehicle for
a long time with the brake system
wet. This helps maintain the brake
disc rotor and brake pads for a long
time and prevents an influence on
the material composition of the
carbon ceramic rotor and deteriora-
tion in the joint of brake disc rotor’s
full floating structure. Especially
during winter, be sure to park your
vehicle with the brake disc rotor and
pads dry to prevent them from
being frozen and damaged in below
freezing temperature conditions.
The carbon ceramic brake includes
air bubbles in the rotor and pads.
Note that leaving them in the wet
condition tends to cause adhesion
due to freezing.
