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-
cle performance and driving enjoyment.
The GT-R transmission components were
designed using different engineering
standards than typical passenger car
transmissions. Because of this, the GT-R
has different operating characteristics,

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-

NOTICE
When the vehicle is stopped on a hill,
do not hold the vehicle in place by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Doing so may cause the clutch to
overheat and result in transmission
damage. Use the brakes to prevent
the vehicle from moving.
The hill start assist system automatically
keeps the brakes applied to help prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards in the
time it takes the driver to release the
brake pedal and apply the accelerator
when the vehicle is stopped on a hill.
Hill start assist will operate automatically
under the following conditions:
. The shift lever is moved to a forward
or reverse position.
. The vehicle is stopped completely on a
hill by applying the brake.
The maximum holding time is 2 seconds.
After 2 seconds the vehicle will begin to
roll back and hill start assist will stop operating completely.
Hill start assist will not operate when the
shift lever is moved to the
or
position
or on a flat and level road.

CAUTION
.Keep the interior of the vehicle as
quiet as possible to hear the tone
clearly. Excessive noise (such as
audio system volume or an open
vehicle window) will interfere
with the tone and it may not be
heard.
. Keep the sonar (located on the
bumper fascia) free from snow,
ice and large accumulations of
dirt (do not clean the sonar with
sharp objects). If the sonar is
covered, it will affect the accuracy
of the sonar system.
. The sonar system may not oper-
ate correctly if a license plate
cover is installed.
The sonar system sounds a tone to warn
the driver of obstacles near the bumper.
The sonar indicator will also appear in the
touch screen display. (
