.Do not touch the exhaust system
parts, radiator or other hot parts
until the engine and the parts have
cooled.
NOTICE
Do not open the hood while the wiper
arms are lifted away from the wind-
shield. The hood and wipers will be
damaged.
CLOSING THE HOOD1. While supporting the hood, store the stay 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.
WARNING
.Make sure the hood is completely
closed and latched before driving.
Failure to do so could cause the
hood to open and result in an
accident. .
Be sure to check that the hood is
securely closed before driving. If
both sides of the hood are not
locked in place, the hood may open
during driving, possibly causing an
accident.
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 requires
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.

WARNING
.Do not drive with the trunk lid open.
This could allow dangerous exhaust
gases to be drawn into the vehicle.
(
“EXHAUST GAS (Carbon mon-
oxide)” page 5-2)
. Closely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent
them from playing and becoming
locked in the trunk where they could
be seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the trunk closed, when
not in use, and prevent children’s
access to Intelligent Keys.
TRUNK OPEN REQUEST SWITCHThe trunk lid can be opened by pushing the
trunk open request switch
*A
when the
Intelligent Key is within the operating range of
the trunk lock/unlock function regardless of the
inside lock knob position. (

SWITCHWhen the switch located inside the glove box is
in the OFF position
*1, the power to the trunk
lid will be canceled and the trunk lid cannot be

the Intelligent Key.
When you have to leave the vehicle with a valet
and want to keep your belongings safe in the
glove box and the trunk, push this switch to OFF
and lock the glove box with the mechanical key.
Then leave the vehicle and the Intelligent Key
with the valet and keep the mechanical key with
you. (

switch to the ON position
*2.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE
TRUNKWhen opening the trunk, first unlock it then lift
up the trunk lid so that it is fully open.
When closing the trunk, lower the trunk lid and
press it until it is securely locked in place.

NOTE:.To prevent the Intelligent Key from
being accidentally locked in the trunk,
lockout protection is equipped with the
Intelligent Key system. When the trunk
lid is closed with the Intelligent Key
inside the trunk, the outside buzzer will
sound and the trunk will open.
. The trunk of this vehicle is slightly
more difficult to close than an ordinary
vehicle (particularly when the vehicle is
new) . This is because the trunk rigidity
has been increased to handle the high
load on the rear wing during vehicle
operation. This does not indicate that
there is a malfunction. Check that the
trunk is securely locked.
EMERGENCY TRUNK LID RELEASE
WARNING
Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the
trunk lid securely latched, when not in
use, and prevent children’s access to
Intelligent Keys.
The emergency trunk lid release mechanism
allows opening of the trunk lid in the event that
people become locked inside the trunk or in the event of the loss of electrical power such as a
discharged battery.
Inside the trunkTo open the trunk lid from the inside, pull the
release handle
*1
until the lock releases and
push up on the trunk lid. The release lever is
made of a material that glows in the dark after a
brief exposure to ambient light.
The handle is located on the back of the trunk lid
as illustrated.

From the passenger compartmentThe trunk can be opened with the emergency
trunk lid opener located on the floor in front of
the passenger’s seat.
1. Remove the board located on the floor infront of the passenger’s seat.
2. Insert the mechanical key into the emer-gency trunk lid opener and turn it clockwise
until it stops.NOTE:Because the trunk rigidity has been in-
creased to handle the high load on the rear
wing during vehicle operation, more force
is required to operate the mechanical key
(particularly when the vehicle is new) . Be
sure to turn the key clockwise until it
stops.
The fuel-filler door is located on the right and
rear side of the vehicle.
WARNING
.Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under certain
conditions. You could be burned or
seriously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
. 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.
. Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It
has a built-in safety valve needed
for proper operation of the fuel
system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a
serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the mal-
function indicator light to come on.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle

body to attempt to start your vehi-
cle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel container
in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec-
tricity can cause an explosion of
flammable liquid, vapor or gas in
any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when
filling portable fuel containers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are
filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.
NOTICE
If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.NOTE:. Insert the cap straight into the fuel-
filler tube, then tighten until the fuel-
filler cap clicks. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap properly may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
to illuminate. If the
light illumi-
nates because the fuel-filler cap is
loose or missing, tighten or install the
cap and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
light should turn off after a
few driving trips. If the
light does
not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
(
“Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” page 2-28)
. This vehicle includes a system that can
supply fuel even during high-G (gravity)
turns. The fuel tank pressure is higher
when the vehicle is hot. 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.
This will not happen after the vehicle
has cooled.
OPENING THE FUEL FILLER DOOR1. Unlock the fuel-filler door by using one of the
following operations.

WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of your vehicle and cause an acci-
dent.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel
any closer to you than is necessary
for proper steering operation and
comfort. The driver’s air bag inflates
with great force. If you are unrest-
rained, leaning forward, sitting side-
ways or out of position in any way,
you are at greater risk of injury or
death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries from
the air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far
away as practical from the steering
wheel. Always use the seat belts.
