the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both
the brake warning light and the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light illu-
minate, it may indicate the ABS is not

WARNING
.
Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning
light is on. Driving could be dan-
gerous. If you judge it to be safe,
drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Other-
wise, have your vehicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your
stopping distance and braking
will require greater pedal effort
as well as pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the
brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
until the brake system has been
checked. It is recommended you
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly. Turn
the engine off and check the alternator
belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or
if the light remains on, it is recommended
you see a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
immediately.

ignition switch is pushed to ON. It turns
off soon after the engine is started.
If the AWD system malfunctions, the
warning light will either remain illumi-
nated or blink. (

“Tire and loading infor-
mation label” page 10-14)
If the tire pressure is insuffi-
cient, fill with nitrogen gas. It
is recommended you contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
about filling with nitrogen
gas. If nitrogen gas is not
available, compressed air
may be safely used under
normal driving conditions. However, NISSAN recom-
mends refilling with nitrogen
gas for maximum tire perfor-
mance.
. If the warning light is still on after
the above operations, have your
vehicle checked as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended you have
the vehicle checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
or
Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. It is recommended you have the
system checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-
lock function is turned off. The brake
system then operates normally, but with-
out anti-lock assistance. (

Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light
The light will blink when the VDC system
or the traction control system is operat-
ing, thus alerting the driver that the
