.You can also check the pressure of all
tires on the touch screen display.
Refer to the separate Multi Function
Display Owner’s Manual.
. The tire pressure sensor should be
reset anytime the wheels or tires are
removed or replaced.
. If the tire is removed in order to
replace the tire pressure sensor bat-
tery, it may not be possible to reuse
the removed tire from the wheel. To
replace the tire pressure sensor bat-
tery, it is recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
.If the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneu-
vers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-
ing with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in ser-
ious personal injury. Check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light off. If
the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat
(
“Run-flat tires” page 6-4) or
the TPMS may be malfunctioning.
If no tire is flat and all tires are
properly inflated, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you
have the vehicle checked by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
. Although you can continue driv-
ing with a punctured run-flat tire,
remember that vehicle handling
stability is reduced, which could
lead to an accident and personal
injury. Also, driving a long dis-
tance at high speeds may da-
mage the tires.
. Do not drive at speeds above 50
MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive
more than 50 miles (80 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual
distance the vehicle can be driven
on a flat tire depends on outside
temperature, vehicle load, road conditions and other factors.
. When a wheel is replaced, the
TPMS will not function and the
low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1
minute. The light will remain on
after 1 minute. It is recommended
you contact your GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer as soon as possi-
ble for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction
of the tire pressure sensors.
NOTICE
.The TPMS may not function prop-
erly when the wheels are
equipped with tire chains or the
wheels are buried in snow.
. The TPMS may not function prop-
erly if the TPMS sensor is not
reset and when wheels/tires from
position.NOTE:
.
If the steering lock release malfunc-
tion indicator appears on the vehicle
information display when the igni-
tion switch is pressed, press the
ignition switch again while gently
turning the steering wheel left and
right. (
“Steering lock release

. If the shiftwarning appears on the
vehicle information display when
the ignition switch is pushed, the
shift lever is in any position except
the
position. Move the shift lever
to the
position. (
“Shift “P”
warning” page 2-46)
. If the Intelligent Key battery dis-
charge indicator appears on the
vehicle information display, the In-
telligent Key battery is discharged
and the ignition switch will not
operate. Insert the Intelligent Key
into the key port to operate the
ignition switch. (
“Intelligent Key
battery discharge indicator” page 2-
48)
. When all of the following conditions
are met for 60 minutes, the battery
saver system will cut off the power
supply to prevent battery discharge.

In this case, inserting the Intelligent Key
into the port allows you to start the
engine. Make sure that the mechanical
key side faces backward as illustrated.
Insert the Intelligent Key in the port until it
is latched and secured.
To remove the Intelligent Key from the port, push the ignition switch to the OFF

4,000 rpm when the engine oil or
coolant temperature is low or higher
than normal.
. If the ignition switch is pushed
before the shift lever is moved to
the
position, the ignition switch
will not change to the OFF position.
If this occurs, the SHIFT
warning
display appears on the vehicle in-
formation display. When stopping
the engine, be sure to move the shift
lever to the
position and then
push the ignition switch. Failure to
do so may result in discharge of the
battery. (“Shift “P” warning”
page 2-46)
. If the shift lever was in the
position when the engine was
stopped, then be sure to move the
shift lever to the
position before
starting the engine the next time. If the engine is started with the shift
lever in the
position, then it may
not be possible to drive the vehicle
even when the shift lever is moved
to the
position. If this
occurs, the SHIFTwarning appears
on the vehicle information display.
(
“Shift “P” warning” page 2-46)
CAUTION
If the engine was stopped soon
when the engine is hot, the cooling
fan may operate for approximately 2
minutes after the engine was
stopped to cool the components in
the engine compartment. When the
cooling fan is operating, be sure that
hands or other items do not get
caught in it.

The GT-R dual clutch transmission was
developed specifically to maximize vehi-

The GT-R transmission components were
designed using different engineering
standards than typical passenger car
transmissions. Because of this, the GT-R

position. Be sure to depress the
brake pedal.
NOTICE
. Be sure to observe the following
precautions. Failure to do so may
result in shift lever malfunction.
— Do not spill water, beverages
or other liquids on the shift
lever.
— Do not allow sand or similar substances to contact the
shift lever.
. Develop the habit of performing
the operations marked with “
”
without pressing the button. If
the button is pressed at these
times, there is the possibility that
the lever could accidentally enter
the
or
positions.
. When the vehicle is hot, the area
around the shift lever may be hot
or may produce an unusual
sound, however this does not
indicate that there is a malfunc-
tion.
. Avoid depressing the brake and
accelerator pedals at the same
time. Depressing both pedals at
the same time could cause the
clutch to overheat and accelerate deterioration.
NOTE:
. When moving the shift lever out of
the
position, it may not be possi-
ble to move the shift lever if the
button is pressed before the brake
pedal is depressed. Press the button
only after depressing the brake
pedal.
. Do not place coins or other small
objects in the area around the shift
lever. These objects may get stuck in
the shift gate and prevent the shift
lever from moving into a position.
Sometimes, you may not be able to
retrieve these objects.
. Immediately after a cold start, while
the transmission system check dis-
play (“T/M SYSTEM CHECK IN PRO-
CESS”) appears on the vehicle
information display, the shift lever
cannot be moved out of the
position. This is because a check of
the transmission system is in pro-
gress. This does not indicate that
there is a malfunction. Move the
shift lever after the message on the
vehicle information display turns off.
