NOTICE
Make sure the tire valve stem cap is
installed and that the valve stem is
tight. When installing the cap, make
sure to tighten the cap by hand. If a
tool is used to tighten the cap, the
cap may be damaged.TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It
monitors tire pressure of all tires. When
the low tire pressure warning light is lit,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. The system also displays
pressure of all tires on the touch screen
display by sending a signal from a sensor
that is installed in each wheel.
The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not
detect a sudden drop in tire pressure.
(
“Low tire pressure warning light”
page 2-30) (
“Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” page 5-4) (
“Flat tire”
page 6-3)
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressure often and
always prior to long distance trips.
The recommended tire pressure
specifications are shown on the F.
M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label or the Tire
and Loading Information label (if so
equipped) under the “Cold Tire
Pressure” heading. The Tire and
Loading Information label is affixed
to the driver side door end. Tire
pressures should be checked reg-
ularly because:.
Most tires naturally lose air over
time.
.
Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other
objects or if the vehicle strikes
a curb while parking.
NOTE:
. You can check the pressure of all
four tires on the touch screen dis-
play. See the separate Multi Func-
tion Display Owner’s Manual.
. The tires of this vehicle are filled
with nitrogen gas. When the tire
pressure is low, fill the tires with nitrogen. It is recommended you
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer for information on filling the
tires with nitrogen.
. If nitrogen is not available, com-
pressed air may be safely used
under normal driving conditions.
However, NISSAN recommends re-
filling with nitrogen for maximum
tire performance.
The tire pressures should be
checked when the tires are cold.
The tires are considered COLD after
the vehicle has been parked for 3 or
more hours, or driven less than 1
mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely
affect tire life and vehicle hand-
ling.
WARNING
.
Improperly inflated tires can
fail suddenly and cause an
accident.
.
The Gross Vehicle Weight
rating (GVWR) is located on

the same load rating as the factory
installed tire.
The word “radial”
The word “radial” is shown, if the
tire has radial structure.Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or brand name is
shown.
Other tire-related terminology:
In addition to the many terms that
are defined throughout this sec-
tion, Intended Outboard Sidewall is
(1) the sidewall that contains a
whitewall, bears white lettering or
bears manufacturer, brand and/or
model name molding that is higher
or deeper than the same molding
on the other sidewall of the tire, or
(2) the outward facing sidewall of
an asymmetrical tire that has a
particular side that must always
face outward when mounted on a vehicle.
TYPES OF TIRES
WARNING
.
When changing or replacing tires,
be sure all four tires are of the
same type (Examples: Summer or
All Season) and construction. A
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer may
be able to help you with informa-
tion about tire type, size, speed
rating and availability.
. Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
. For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information” (Cana-
da) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.All-season tiresNISSAN specifies all-season tires on some
models to provide good performance for
use all year around, including snowy and
icy road conditions. All-season tires are identified by ALL SEASON on the tire
sidewall.
Summer tiresThe GT-R summer tires are made from a
specially formulated rubber to maximize
the vehicle’s performance capabilities.
Performance of summer tires is substan-
tially reduced when temperatures are less
than 32°F (0°C) so you must drive care-
fully. NISSAN recommends the use of
winter or all-season tires on all four
wheels if you plan to operate your vehicle
in snowy or icy conditions when tem-
peratures are less than 32°F (0°C).

tions. Doing so could cause a loss of
vehicle control and result in an acci-
dent.
.When it is not possible to keep
the vehicle at a set speed.
. In heavy traffic or in traffic that
varies in speed.
. On winding or hilly roads.
. On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.).
. In very windy areas.
NOTE:
. When the SAVE mode is selected
with the transmission setup switch,
the acceleration and deceleration
can be controlled smoothly. When
the SAVE mode is selected, the
maximum setting speed is lower
than the one in the normal mode. When the vehicle approaches a gen-
tle uphill, there may be a slight delay
as the vehicle returns to the preset
speed. However, the vehicle will
gradually accelerate and return to
the preset speed.
PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CON-
TROL.
If the cruise control system malfunc-
tions, it will cancel automatically. The
SET indicator will blink and the cruise
control system warning will appear to
warn the driver. (
“Cruise control
system warning” page 2-43)
. If the engine coolant temperature
becomes excessively high, the cruise
control system will be canceled auto-
matically.
. If the SET indicator blinks, turn the
cruise control main switch off and it is
recommended you contact a GT-R

CRUISE CONTROL

, open the
reservoir cap (pressure type)and add
coolant up to between the MAX
and
MIN
level. If the reservoir is empty, open
the radiator filler cap
and check the
coolant level in the radiator when the
engine is cold. If there is insufficient
coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator
with coolant up to the filler opening and
also add it to the reservoir up to between
the MAX
and MIN
level. This vehicle contains Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue). The
life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant
is 24,000 miles (38,400 km) or 2 years.
Mixing any other type of coolant or the
use of non-distilled water will reduce the
life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
Refer to the “9. Maintenance and sche-
dules” section of this manual for more
details.
If the cooling system frequently re-
quires coolant, it is recommended you
have it checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
Check that the level of coolant is between
MAX and MIN on the pressurized radiator
reservoir. If the level is below the mid-
point, the amount of coolant circulating
may be insufficient for maximum vehicle
performance, possibly causing engine
overheating or other trouble.
For the coolant level and mixture ratio
when engaging in performance driving,
see
“Coolant level and mixture ratio”
page GTR-15.
Except for NISMO models:
If it is difficult to determine the midpoint
between MAX and MIN, remove the cool-
ant reservoir cap and look inside through
the opening to check that the coolant
level is above the divider
between the
top half and bottom half of the pressur- ized coolant reservoir.
NOTICE
.
The coolant reservoir is equipped
with a pressure type cap, and the
radiator is equipped with a non-
pressure type cap. Do not switch
the radiator filler cap and the
coolant reservoir cap. Doing so
will cause substandard cooling
performance and overheating.
. If you have added only water as
the coolant in an emergency,
change it to a coolant mixture
ratio specified as soon as possi-
ble.CHANGING ENGINE COOLANTIf major cooling system repairs are re-
quired, it is recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. The service
procedures can be found in the appro-
priate NISSAN Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in re-
duced heater performance and engine
overheating.
