TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the warning light illuminates for about 1
second and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the
tire pressure of all 4 wheels to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver's door opening.
The low tire pressure warning light does
not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. After the tire is
inflated to the recommended pressure,
the vehicle must be driven at speeds above
16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS
and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tire pressure. (

GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9The run-flat tire warning warns of a flat tire.
If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat
tires, the warning light will illuminate continu-
ously and a chime will sound for 10 seconds.
The chime will only sound at the first indication
of a flat tire and the warning light will illuminate
continuously. When the flat tire warning is
activated, it is recommended you have the
system reset and the tire checked and replaced
if necessary by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Even if the tire is inflated to the specified COLD
tire pressure, the warning light will continue to
illuminate until the system is reset by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
If you select the tire pressure information in the
touch screen display, the warning screen will be
displayed. The tire pressure for each tire will also
be displayed. Refer to the separate Multi
Function Display Owner's Manual.
Your vehicle can be driven for a limited time on a
flat tire. (

. If the light does not illuminate with
the ignition switch pushed to the ON
position, it is recommended you
have the vehicle checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.
. If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with un-
der-inflated tires may permanently
damage the tires and increase the
likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure

shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label located in the
driver's door opening to turn the
low tire pressure warning light off. If
the light still illuminates while driv-
ing after adjusting the tire pressure,
a tire may be flat (
ªRun-flat
tiresº page 6-4) or the TPMS may be
malfunctioning. If no tire is flat and
all tires are properly inflated, it is
recommended you have the vehicle
checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
. Although you can continue driving
with a punctured run-flat tire, re-
member that vehicle handling sta-
bility is reduced, which could lead to
an accident and personal injury.
Also, driving a long distance at high
speeds may damage the tires.
. Do not drive at speeds above 50
MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive
more than 50 miles (80 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual
distance the vehicle can be driven
on a flat tire depends on outside
temperature, vehicle load, road con-
ditions and other factors. .
If you detect any unusual sounds or
vibrations while driving with a punc-
tured run-flat tire, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. The tire
may be seriously damaged and
need to be replaced.
. When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute. It
is recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure
to check the tire pressure regularly.
. Be sure to install the specified size of tires on the four wheels.
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 with
nitrogen gas. When the tire pressure is
low, fill the tires with nitrogen gas. It is
recommended you contact a GT-R cer-
tified NISSAN dealer for information on
filling the tires with nitrogen gas.
