2022 NISSAN GT-R fuel

WARNING
Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly a
fire. The fuel tank is full at the first
automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the
fuel tank is located as low as possible to
lower the vehicle center of gravity. The
tank is also divided into two parts. This
fuel tank design causes higher pressures
inside the tank than other vehicles so fuel
spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the
vehicle is hot, especially if the tank is more
than half full. If the cap is opened when
the vehicle is hot, it may cause fuel spray
and there may be a hissing noise. Open
the cap slowly, releasing the pressure
from the tank gradually. Also, if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is
hot, the fuel pump may automatically
shut off before the tank is full. This does
not indicate that there is a malfunction. Refuel slowly or refuel after the vehicle
has cooled.
GASOLINE SMELLThe fuel temperature is higher when the
vehicle is hot. This may cause a gasoline
smell from the vehicle. This does not
indicate that there is a malfunction. The
smell will go away when the fuel tem-
perature has cooled.OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
INDICATES HIGHER TEMPERATUREHeat from the engine compartment, ra-
diator and intercoolers can affect the
outside temperature display. The outside
temperature display may indicate a high-
er than actual temperature while driving
or stopped. This is normal.IDLE SPEED IS NOT STEADYThe idle speed may not be steady when
the engine compartment is extremely
hot. This is normal. The engine speed will
be steady when the engine cools down.
In this case, the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) may come on. After a few
driving trips, the MIL should turn off. If the
light remains on after a few driving trips, it
is recommended you have the vehicle
inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.

Cool downThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help extend the
life of the vehicle if coolant temperatures
are extremely high. Drive the vehicle at 37
to 50 MPH (60 to 80 km/h), in 5th or 6th
gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to 5 km) and then
stop the engine.Refueling precautions

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE DRIVINGThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.Fluids.
Check the engine, transmission, differ-
ential and under vehicle surfaces for
oil and coolant leaks.
. Check the fluid levels and adjust as
necessary using the specified fluid as
described under the conditions listed
in this section.(
“Recommended
fluids and maintenance interval” page GTR-20) If you do not drive under the
conditions listed, refer to the “9. Main-
tenance and schedules” section of this
manual.

NOTICE
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of
the normal range, reduce vehicle
speed to decrease temperature. If
gauge is over the normal range, stop
the vehicle as soon as safely possi-
ble. If the engine is overheated,
continued operation of the vehicle
may seriously damage the engine.
(
“If your vehicle overheats” page
6-8)
FUEL GAUGEThe gauge indicates the approximate
fuel level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning, acceleration, or going
up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to E (Empty)
after the ignition switch is pushed to the
LOCK position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “E” (Empty).
The low fuel warning will be indicated on
the vehicle information display when the
fuel tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as
it is convenient, preferably before the gauge reaches “E”. There will be a small
reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel
gauge needle reaches “E”. (
“Low fuel
warning” page 2-43)
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door
is located on the passenger’s side of the
vehicle. (
“Fuel-filler door” page 3-24)
NOTE:
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
after a few driving trips, it is recom-
mended you have the vehicle inspected
by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

NOTE:
.If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h), the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
. The tires of this vehicle are filled

light
should turn off if no other potential
emission control system malfunction ex-
ists. If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indi-
cates that the vehicle is not ready for an
emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (
“Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test (US
only)” page 10-22)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come
on in one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady
— An emission control system mal-
function has been detected. Check
the fuel-filler cap. If the fuel-filler cap
is loose or missing, tighten or install
the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
light should turn off
after a few driving trips. If the
light
does not turn off after a few driving
trips, it is recommended you have the
vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking —
An engine misfire has been detected
which may damage the emission
control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control
system damage: 1) Do not drive at speeds above 45
MPH (72 km/h).
2) Avoid hard acceleration or decel- eration.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may
stop blinking and remain on.
It is recommended you have the
vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
NOTICE
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, re-
duced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control sys-
tem.
Master warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the master warning light illumi-
nates if any of the warning displays
appear on the vehicle information display.
