stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around the sensors.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTERThe air conditioning system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter which collects
dirt, dust, etc. To make sure the air
conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates
efficiently, replace the filter in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in the “9.
Maintenance and schedules” section of
this manual. It is recommended to see a
NISSAN dealer or GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer to replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if air flow
is extremely decreased or when win-
dows fog up easily when operating
heater or air conditioning system.

is located on the
rear part of the vehicle roof. When installing a car phone or a CB radio
in your vehicle, be sure to observe the
following cautions, otherwise the new
equipment may adversely affect the elec-
tronic control modules and electronic
control system harness.
CAUTION
.
Keep the antenna as far away as
possible from the electronic con-
trol modules.
. Keep the antenna wire more than
8 in (20 cm) away from the
electronic control system har-
ness. Do not route the antenna
wire next to any harness.
. Adjust the antenna standing-
wave ratio as recommended by
the manufacturer.
. Connect the ground wire from the
CB radio chassis to the body.
. For details, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer or GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.

6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and contact a roadside emergency
service to change the tire.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the
bloodstream reduces coordination,
delays reaction time and impairs
judgement. Driving after drinking
alcohol increases the likelihood of
being involved in an accident injuring
yourself and others. Additionally, if
you are injured in an accident, alco-
hol can increase the severity of the
injury.
NISSAN is committed to safe driving.
However, you must choose not to drive
under the influence of alcohol. Every year
thousands of people are injured or killed
in alcohol-related accidents. Although the
local laws vary on what is considered to
be legally intoxicated, the fact is that
alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t
mix! And that is true for drugs, too (over-
the-counter, prescription, and illegal
drugs). Don’t drive if your ability to oper-
ate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol,
drugs, or some other physical condition.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
.
Do not drive beyond the perfor-
mance capability of the tires,
even with AWD engaged. Acceler-
ating quickly, sharp steering
maneuvers or sudden braking
may cause loss of control.
. Always use the specified tires on
all four wheels. Install tire chains
on the rear wheels when driving
on slippery roads and drive care-
fully.
. This vehicle is not designed for
offroad (rough road) use. Do not
drive on sandy or muddy roads
that tires may get stuck in.
. Do not attempt to raise two
wheels off the ground and shift the transmission to any
position with the engine run-
ning. Doing so may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage
or personal injury.
. Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel
dynamometer, (such as the dy-
namometers used by some
states for emissions testing), or
similar equipment even if the
other two wheels are raised off
the ground. Make sure you inform
test facility personnel that your
vehicle is equipped with AWD
before it is placed on a dynam-
ometer. Using the wrong test
equipment may result in drive-
train damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage
or personal injury.
. When a wheel is off the ground
due to an unlevel surface, do not
spin the wheel excessively.

could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction
of the tire pressure sensors.
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.
RUN-FLAT TIRESRun-flat tires are those tires that can be
used temporarily if they are punctured.

5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic,

, position the two vehicles (

) to bring their batteries into
close proximity to each other. Do not
allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply parking brake. Move the shift lever to the
position. Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (light,
heater, air conditioner, etc.).
3. Remove the battery cover. Cover the battery with a firmly wrung out moist
cloth to reduce explosion hazard.
4. Connect jumper cables in the se- quence as illustrated (

CAUTION
.Always connect positive (+) to
positive (+) and negative (−) to
body ground (as illustrated), not
to the battery.
. Make sure that the jumper cables
do not touch moving parts in the
engine compartment and that
clamps do not contact any other
metal.

NOTE:
Do not keep the starter motor en-

the engine does not start right away,
push the ignition switch to the OFF
position and wait 10 seconds before
trying again.

NOTICE
Your NISSAN cannot be push-started
or tow-started. Attempting to do so
may cause transmission damage.
WARNING
.
Do not continue to drive if your
vehicle overheats. Doing so could
cause engine damage or a vehicle
fire.
. To avoid the danger of being
scalded, never remove the radia-
tor filler cap and the coolant
reservoir cap while the engine is
still hot. When the cap is removed,
pressurized hot water will spurt
out, possibly causing serious in-
jury.
. Do not open the hood if steam is
coming out.
If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by
an extremely high temperature gauge
reading), or if you feel a lack of engine
power, detect unusual noise, etc., take the
following steps:
1. Move the vehicle safely off the road, apply the parking brake and move the
shift lever to the
position.
Do not stop the engine.
2. Turn off the air conditioner. Open all the windows, move the temperature
control to maximum hot and fan

dealer.
. The materials used for the brake
disc rotor and brake pads for NCCB
(NISSAN Carbon Ceramic Brake) are
different from those used for the
standard brake system in GT-R. The
rotor and pads will be protected
from adhesion caused by rusting.
However, never park your vehicle for
a long time with the brake system
wet. This helps maintain the brake
disc rotor and brake pads for a long
time and prevents an influence on
the material composition of the
carbon ceramic rotor and deteriora-
tion in the joint of brake disc rotor’s
full floating structure. Especially
during winter, be sure to park your
vehicle with the brake disc rotor and
pads dry to prevent them from
being frozen and damaged in below
freezing temperature conditions.
The carbon ceramic brake includes
air bubbles in the rotor and pads.
Note that leaving them in the wet
condition tends to cause adhesion
due to freezing.

. Spare fuses are stored in
the passenger compartment fuse box.
6. If a new fuse also opens, have the electrical system checked and re-
paired. It is recommended you contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Fusible linksIf any electrical equipment does not
operate and fuses are in good condition,
check the fusible links. If any of these
fusible links are melted, replace only with
genuine NISSAN parts.
WARNING
Never use a fuse of a higher or lower
amperage rating than that specified
on the fuse box cover. This could
damage the electrical system or
electronic control units or cause a
fire.
If any electrical equipment does not
operate, check for an open fuse.
