headlights are turned off.
2. Open the engine hood and remove the cover on the battery and the fuse/
fusible link holder.
3. Remove the fuse/fusible link holder cover.
4. Remove the fuse with the fuse puller that is located in the engine compart-
ment fuse box.
, replace it with a
new fuses
. Spare fuses are stored in
the passenger compartment fuse box.
6. If a new fuse also opens, have the electrical system checked and re-
paired. It is recommended you contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Fusible linksIf any electrical equipment does not
operate and fuses are in good condition,
check the fusible links. If any of these
fusible links are melted, replace only with
genuine NISSAN parts.
WARNING
Never use a fuse of a higher or lower
amperage rating than that specified
on the fuse box cover. This could
damage the electrical system or
electronic control units or cause a
fire.
If any electrical equipment does not
operate, check for an open fuse.

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
ways use run-flat tires of the specified
size on all four wheels. Mixing tire sizes or
construction may reduce vehicle handling
stability. If necessary, contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for assistance.
Frequently check the tire pressure infor-
mation on the touch screen display and
adjust pressure of each tire properly. See
the separate Multi Function Display Own-
er’s Manual.
It can be difficult to tell if a run-flat tire is
under-inflated or flat. Check the tire
pressures as described earlier in this
section. If the tire becomes under-inflated
while driving, the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will come on. If the tire becomes
flat while driving, the low tire pressure
warning light and the run-flat tire warn-
ing display will come on.
Low tire pressure:
NOTICE
.Never install tire chains on a
punctured run-flat tire, as this
could damage your vehicle.
. Avoid driving over any projection
or pothole, as the clearance be-
tween the vehicle and the ground
is smaller than normal.
. Do not enter an automated car
wash with a punctured run-flat
tire.
. It is recommended you have the
punctured tire replaced by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer as soon

being uninstalled from the
wheels, use equipment such as a
leverless automatic tire changer.
It is only possible to reuse the
tires when they have no cracks
and/or deformations on the bead
portion. However, if you use a
lever-type tire changer, cracks
and deformation may occur on
the bead portion of the tires
meaning that the tires cannot be
reused.
. 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.
WARNING
.The use of tires other than those
specified or the mixed use of tires
of different brands, construction
(bias, bias-belted, radial or run-
flat), or tread patterns can ad-
versely affect the ride, braking,
VDC system, handling, ground
clearance, body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clearance, speed-
ometer calibration, headlight
aim and bumper height. Some of
these effects may lead to acci-
dents and could result in serious
personal injury.
. If the wheels are changed for any
reason, always replace with
wheels which have the same off-
set dimension. Wheels of a differ-
ent off-set could cause prema-
ture tire wear, degrade vehicle
handling characteristics, affect
the VDC system and/or cause
interference with the brake discs.
Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency
and/or early brake pad wear.
(
“Wheels and tires” page 10-
10)
. When a wheel is replaced, tire
pressure will not be indicated,
the TPMS will not function and
the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately
1 minute and remain on after the
1 minute. It is recommended you
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible for tire
replacement and/or system re-
setting. .
Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
. The TPMS sensor may be da-
maged if it is not handled cor-
rectly. Be careful when handling
the TPMS sensor.
. When replacing the TPMS sensor,
the ID registration may be re-
quired. Contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer for ID registration.
. Do not use a valve stem cap that
is not specified by NISSAN. The
valve stem cap may become
stuck.
. Be sure that the valve stem caps
are correctly fitted. Otherwise the
valve may be clogged up with dirt
and cause a malfunction or loss
of pressure.
. Do not install a damaged or
deformed wheel or tire even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels
or tires could have structural
damage and could fail without
warning.
. Never use retread tires.
. For additional information re-
of each nut lightly
contacts the seat part
of the wheel
hole.
When replacing a front wheel, make
sure the hole in the wheel is aligned
with the pin on the brake disc rotor.
8. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheel nuts alternately and evenly in
the sequence illustrated (
,
,
,
,
)
until they are tight.
9. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the ground. Then, with the
wheel nut wrench, tighten the wheel
nuts securely in the sequence as
illustrated. Lower the vehicle comple-
tely.
WARNING
If the road wheels are hot, allow
them to cool sufficiently before tigh-
tening the wheel nuts. Otherwise, the
wheel nuts cannot be tightened to
specification.
NOTE:.
As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.
