2021 NISSAN GT-R parking brake

When parking the vehicle
position
and stop the engine. If the engine is
running and the shift lever is not in
the
position, the vehicle may start
moving due to partial engagement
of the clutch or to the effects of
gravity on a slope, or the vehicle may
suddenly accelerate due to acciden-
tal operation of the accelerator ped-
al, possibly causing an accident.

bon Ceramic Brake) package:
WARNING
Follow the instructions below when
parking the vehicle to help prevent
the brake rotor and brake pads from
rusting together. Failure to follow
the instructions could cause the
rotor and pads to rust together. If
the rotor and pads rust together,
there may be a popping noise and
some vibration when the vehicle is
driven, a wheel may not roll correctly, or the brake pads could be damaged.
If the pads are damaged, this may
reduce the effectiveness of the brake
system which could cause a collision,
serious personal injury or death.
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 miles (5,000 km) of the
vehicle’s service life, and for the first 3,000
miles (5,000km) after a brake replace-
ment, the brake pad to brake rotor
clearance is very small. When parking,
apply the parking brake and move the
shift lever to the
position is selected.

position. Failure
to do so could cause the vehicle
to move unexpectedly or roll
away and result in an accident.
. Make sure the shift lever has
been pushed as far forward as it
can go and cannot be moved
without depressing the foot
brake pedal.
. Follow the instructions below
when parking the vehicle to help
prevent the brake rotor and
brake pads from rusting to-
gether. Failure to follow the in-
structions could cause the rotor
and pads to rust together. If the
rotor and pads rust together,
there may be a popping noise
and some vibration when the
vehicle is driven, a wheel may
not roll correctly, or the brake
pads could be damaged. If the
pads are damaged, this may re-
duce the effectiveness of the
brake system which could cause
a collision, serious personal injury
or death. (for models without

position.
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.

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.

, position the two vehicles (
and
) to bring their batteries into
close proximity to each other. Do not
allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply parking brake. Move the shift lever to the
position. Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (light,
heater, air conditioner, etc.).
3. Remove the battery cover. Cover the battery with a firmly wrung out moist
cloth to reduce explosion hazard.
4. Connect jumper cables in the se- quence as illustrated (

CAUTION
.Always connect positive (+) to
positive (+) and negative (−) to
body ground (as illustrated), not
to the battery.
. Make sure that the jumper cables
do not touch moving parts in the
engine compartment and that
clamps do not contact any other
metal.
5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle
and let it run for a few minutes.
6. Keep the engine speed of the booster

NOTE:
Do not keep the starter motor en-
gaged for more than 10 seconds. If
the engine does not start right away,
push the ignition switch to the OFF
position and wait 10 seconds before
trying again.
7. After starting your engine, carefully disconnect the negative cable and
then the positive cable (

pushing.
NOTICE
Your NISSAN cannot be push-started
or tow-started. Attempting to do so
may cause transmission damage.
WARNING
.
Do not continue to drive if your
vehicle overheats. Doing so could
cause engine damage or a vehicle
fire.
. To avoid the danger of being
scalded, never remove the radia-
tor filler cap and the coolant
reservoir cap while the engine is
still hot. When the cap is removed,
pressurized hot water will spurt
out, possibly causing serious in-
jury.
. Do not open the hood if steam is
coming out.
If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by
an extremely high temperature gauge
reading), or if you feel a lack of engine
power, detect unusual noise, etc., take the
following steps:
1. Move the vehicle safely off the road, apply the parking brake and move the
shift lever to the
position.
Do not stop the engine.
2. Turn off the air conditioner. Open all the windows, move the temperature
control to maximum hot and fan

da) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
. Always use tires of the specified
type, size, brand, construction
(bias, bias-belted, radial or run-
flat), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Failure to do so may
result in a circumference differ-
ence between tires on the front
and rear axles which will cause
excessive tire wear and may da-
mage the transmission, transfer
case and differential gears.
Wheel balanceUnbalanced wheels may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Even with regular
use, wheels can get out of balance.
Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the rear wheels on the
vehicle could lead to mechanical damage.

tion” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Information

WARNING
.
Make sure the parking brake is
securely applied and the trans-
mission is shifted into the
position.
. Never change tires when the ve-
hicle is on a slope, ice or slippery
areas. This is hazardous.
. Never change tires if oncoming
traffic is close to your vehicle.
Wait for professional road assis-
tance.
Blocking wheelsPlace suitable blocks
at both the front
and back of the wheel diagonally oppo-
site the flat tire to prevent the vehicle
from moving when it is jacked up.

NOTICE
To help reduce the possibility of the
rotors and brake pads rusting:
Have the brake pads and/or rotors
quenched when the brake pads are
replaced. For detailed information
about quenching, contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
After quenching the brake pads and/
or rotors, apply a brake of 0.5G to
stop the vehicle 6-7 times at least
once a week in a safe location. G-
force can be checked on the multi
function meter on the touch screen
display. Refer to the separate Multi
Function Display Owner’s Manual.
