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. (
“Sonar indica-
tor” page 5-49.) The system detects front
obstacles when the shift lever is in the
position or
position and both front and

position.
The system may not detect objects at
speeds above 6 MPH (10 km/h) and may
not detect certain angular or moving
objects.
Refer to the illustration for approximate
zone coverage areas. As you move closer
to the obstacle, the rate of the tone
increases. When you move even closer
to the obstacle, the tone will sound
continuously.
The sensitivity level of the sonar can be
adjusted (higher or lower) in the sonar
setting display. (

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.

GT-R SPECIFIC VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS
Page 115 of 1808

For models without NCCB (NISSAN
Carbon Ceramic Brake) package:Follow the instructions below when
parking the vehicle to help prevent
the brake rotor and brake pads from
rusting together. Failure to follow
the instructions could cause the
rotor and pads to rust together. If
the rotor and pads rust together,
there may be a popping noise and
some vibration when the vehicle is
driven, a wheel may not roll correctly,
or the brake pads could be damaged.
If the pads are damaged, this may
reduce the effectiveness of the brake
system which could cause a collision,
serious personal injury or death.
. The GT-R uses brake pad materials
that have high metallic content. The
brake pad material helps maintain
braking performance in a wide range
of weather and driving conditions.
For the first 3,000-6,000 miles (5,000-
10,000 km) of the vehicle’s service life,
and for the first 3,000-6,000 miles
(5,000-10,000 km) after a brake repla-
cement, the brake pad to brake rotor clearance is very small. When parking,
apply the parking brake and move the
shift lever to the
NOTICE
To help reduce the possibility of the
rotors and brake pads rusting:
Have the brake pads and/or rotors
quenched when the brake pads are
replaced. For detailed information
about quenching, contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
After quenching the brake pads and/
or rotors, apply a brake of 0.5G to
stop the vehicle 6-7 times at least
once a week in a safe location. G-
force can be checked on the multi
function meter on the touch screen
display. Refer to the separate Multi
Function Display Owner’s Manual.

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.

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

. Transmission oil temperature is 284°F
(140°C) or higher:
If the transmission oil temperature
increases to over 284°F (140°C), the
color of the meter display changes to
red. However, the vehicle can continue
to be driven until the temperature
reaches 295°F (146°C). If the oil tem-
perature exceeds 284°F (140°C) while
driving (the color of the meter dis-
played in red), change both the trans-
mission oil and the differential oil after
driving because these fluids have
deteriorated because of the heat.
