CLOSING THE HOOD1. While supporting the hood, store thestay to the original position.
2. Slowly lower the hood. When it is at a height of 1 ft (30 cm) or higher, drop
the hood and make sure that both
sides of the hood securely lock in
place.
CAUTION
When closing the hood, lower it
slowly so that hands or other items
do not get caught.
NOTE:
Because the hood of this vehicle re-
quires more force to close than that for
other vehicles, the hood will be difficult
to close if you lower it all the way and
then attempt to press it closed. Be sure
to drop the hood from a height of
approximately 1 ft (30 cm) and be sure
that both sides securely lock in place.Pre-driving checks and adjustments

7. Check to make sure the child restraintis properly secured prior to each use. If
the child restraint is loose, repeat
steps 1 through 6.
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child re-
straint. Failure to use the ALR mode
will result in the child restraint not
being properly secured. The restraint
could tip over or be loose and cause
injury to a child in a sudden stop or
collision. Also, it can change the
operation of the front passenger air
bag. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” later in this section.

position.
. Be sure the ignition switch is in
the OFF or LOCK position when
performing any parts replace-
ment or repairs.
. If you must work with the engine
running, keep your hands, cloth-
ing, hair and tools away from
moving fans, belts and any other
moving parts.
. It is advisable to secure or re-
move any loose clothing and
remove any jewelry, such as
rings, watches, etc. before work-
ing on your vehicle.
. Always wear eye protection whenever you work on your ve-
hicle.
. If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage,
be sure there is proper ventilation
for exhaust gases to escape.
. Never get under the vehicle while
it is supported only by a jack. If it
is necessary to work under the
vehicle, support it with safety
stands.
. Keep smoking materials, flame
and sparks away from fuel tank
and the battery.
. Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic engine cooling fan. It
may come on at any time without
warning, even if the ignition key is
in the OFF position and the en-
gine is not running. To avoid
injury, always disconnect the ne-
gative battery cable before work-
ing near the fan.
. The fuel filter or fuel lines should
be serviced by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer because the fuel
lines are under high pressure
even when the engine is off.
CAUTION
.Do not work under the hood while
the engine is hot. Turn the engine
off and wait until it cools down.
. Avoid direct contact with used
engine oil and coolant. Impro-
perly disposed engine oil, coolant,
and/or other vehicle fluids can
damage the environment. Always
conform to local regulations for
disposal of vehicle fluid.
NOTICE
.Never connect or disconnect the
battery or any transistorized
component while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
. Never leave the engine or trans-
mission related component har-
nesses disconnected while the
ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

accident.
. Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely fastened to the proper
buckle.
. Do not wear the seat belt inside
out or twisted. Doing so may
reduce its effectiveness.
. Do not allow more than one
person to use the same seat belt.
. Never carry more people in the
vehicle than there are seat belts.
. If the seat belt warning light
glows continuously while the
ignition is turned ON with all
doors closed and all seat belts
fastened, it may indicate a mal-
function in the system. It is re-
commended you have the system
checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
. No changes should be made to
the seat belt system. For exam-
ple, do not modify the seat belt,
add material, or install devices
that may change the seat belt
routing or tension. Doing so may
affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modifying or tam-
pering with the seat belt system
may result in serious personal injury.
. Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with
the retractor. It is recommended
you see a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
. Removal and installation of the
pretensioner system components
should be done by a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer.
. All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hard-
ware, should be inspected after
any collision by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recom-
mends that all seat belt assem-
blies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was
minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate
properly. Seat belt assemblies
not in use during a collision
should also be inspected and
replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
. All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected
after any collision. Always follow
the restraint manufacturer’s in- spection instructions and repla-
cement recommendations. The
child restraints should be re-
placed if they are damaged.

The ELR locks the seat belt when the
vehicle slows down rapidly or during
impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode or child restraint mode locks the
seat belt for child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated the seat
belt cannot be extended again until the
seat belt tongue is detached from the
buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt
returns to the ELR mode after the seat
belt is fully retracted.

“Front passenger air bag and
status light” page 1-42)
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that seatbacks are comple-
tely secured in the latched position.
If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an
accident or sudden stop.
Unfastening the seat beltsTo unfasten the seat belt, push the
button on the buckle. The seat belt
automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operationSeat belt retractors are designed to lock
seat belt movement by two separate
methods:
. When the belt is pulled quickly from
the retractor.
. When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat
belts, check the operation as follows:
. Grasp the shoulder belt and pull for-
ward quickly. The retractor should
lock and restrict further belt move-
ment.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check or if you have any question about
seat belt operation, see a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and in-
stallation of child restraints could
result in serious injury or death of a
child or other passengers in a sud-
den stop or collision:
.Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the loca-
tions shown in the illustration.
. Inspect the lower anchors by in-
serting your fingers into the low-
er anchor area. Feel to make sure
there are no obstructions over
the anchors such as seat belt
webbing or seat cushion material.
The child restraint will not be
secured properly if the lower
anchors are obstructed.
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used to attach adult
seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not
be properly installed using the da-
maged anchorage, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
LATCH lower anchor location
LATCH lower anchor locationThe LATCH lower anchors are located at
the rear of the seat cushion near the
seatback. A label is attached to the seat-
back to help you locate the LATCH
anchors.
