.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.
. 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.
Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible for tire
replacement and/or system reset-
ting.
. 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.
Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
for information on filling the tires with
nitrogen gas.
Master warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the master warning light illuminates if any of the
warning displays appear on the vehicle informa-
tion display. (

pretensioners may not function properly.
(
“Supplemental restraint system” page 1-
34)
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not
operate in an accident. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your
vehicle checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
Transmission warning light
This light warns of the following malfunctions.
Transmission system malfunction:
The light blinks if a malfunction in the transmis-
sion system occurs. If the light blinks, certain
gear positions may become unusable, so that
the vehicle may become undrivable. Have the
system inspected promptly by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
Transmission oil temperature high:
The light illuminates if the transmission oil
temperature becomes unusually high. If the light
illuminates, avoid driving at high speed or at high
engine speed until the light turns off. The light
will turn off after a short period of time and the
vehicle can then be driven normally. If the light
illuminates frequently, contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
NOTICE
If the light continues to illuminate, the
engine output may be reduced to pre-
vent transmission damage. Transmission clutch temperature high:
The light illuminates if clutch temperature
becomes unusually high. If the light illuminates,
pull off the road in a safe area and idle the
engine. When the light turns off, driving can be
resumed. If the light illuminates frequently,
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
NOTICE
.
Continuing to drive with the light on
could cause serious damage to the
transmission.
. If the light continues to illuminate,
the vehicle cannot be driven be-
cause the engine output may be
reduced and the clutch may be
reduced to keep the clutch disen-
gaged.
R mode start function:
If the R mode start function is used 4 times
continuously, the function may be disabled and
cannot be turned on for protection. While the
function is disabled, the warning light illumi-
nates. When the warning light goes off, the
function can be used again. (
“R mode start
function” page 5-31)
Page 128 of 354

When the warning light illuminates, perform cool
down driving (driving 1.3 mile (2 km) in 5th or
6th gear at a speed of approximately 37 - 50
MPH (60 - 80 km/h) while checking the
temperature of the transmission oil until the
warning light goes off.
NOTICE
While the warning light is illuminated,
the engine output is controlled so that
it does not increase.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
The light will blink when the VDC system or the
traction control system is operating, thus alerting
the driver that the vehicle is nearing its traction
limits. The road surface may be slippery.
If the VDC warning light illuminates when the
VDC system is turned on, this light alerts the
driver to the fact that the VDC system’s fail-safe
mode is operating, for example the VDC or hill
start assist system may not be functioning
properly. Have the system checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. If a malfunction occurs
in the system, the VDC system function will be
canceled but the vehicle is still driveable. (
“Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system”

INDICATOR LIGHTS
Cruise main switch indicator
light
The light comes on when the cruise control is
pushed. The light turns off when the main switch
is pushed again. While the cruise control system
main switch indicator light is on, the cruise
control system is operational.
Cruise set switch indicator
light
The light comes on while the vehicle speed is
controlled by the cruise control system. If the

High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam is
selected.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator light may also come on
steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or
if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make
sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 US
gallons (12 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.

CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WARN-
ING
This will appear if the cruise control system is
not functioning properly. (“Cruise set
switch indicator light” page 2-31)
LOW FUEL WARNING
This will appear when the fuel level in the tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the fuel gauge reaches the
empty (E) position.
This displays the approximate distance that the
vehicle can be driven based on the amount of
fuel remaining in the fuel tank and the actual fuel
consumption. NOTE:
.
The low fuel warning will appear when
the amount of fuel remaining in the
tank decreases to approximately 3 US
gallons (12 liters) .
. The timing of the low fuel warning
display may change depending on
braking, turning, acceleration, or going
up or down hills.
. If the vehicle is not refueled after the
low fuel warning appears, the display
will change to “
”. This change
timing may become earlier depending
on the driving conditions. This does not
indicate that there is a malfunction.
