Security indicator light
The security indicator light is located on the
instrument panel. It indicates the status of the
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System.
The light blinks whenever the ignition switch is in
the ACC, OFF or LOCK position. This function
indicates the security systems equipped on the
vehicle are operational.
If the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System is
malfunctioning, this light will remain on while the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
If the light still remains on and/or the
engine will not start, see a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer for NISSAN Vehicle Immo-bilizer System service as soon as possible.
Please bring all Intelligent Keys that you
have when visiting a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer for service.

USING THE WIPERS
Push the lever down to operate the wiper at the
following speed:
*1INT (Intermittent) — intermittent operation can be
adjusted by turning the knob toward*A(Slower)
or*B(Faster).
*2Low — continuous low speed operation
*3High — continuous high speed operation
Push the lever up*4to have one sweep
operation of the wiper. NOTE:
.
In the MIST position, the wipers oper-
ate while the lever is lifted up. When
the lever is released, it automatically
returns to the OFF position and the
wipers stop.
. When the speed sensing wiper interval
function is turned on, the intermittent
operation speed varies in accordance
with the vehicle speed. (For example,
when the vehicle speed is high, the
intermittent operation speed will be
faster.) To turn this function on and
off, see the separate Multi Function
Display Owner’s Manual.
. If the wiper operation is interrupted by
snow or ice, the wiper may stop moving
to protect its motor. If this occurs, turn
the wiper switch to the OFF position
and remove the snow or ice on and
around the wiper arms. In approxi-
mately 1 minute, turn the switch on
again to operate the wiper.

TIRE EQUIPMENT
The GT-R summer tires are made from a
specially formulated rubber to maximize the
vehicle’s performance capabilities. Performance
of summer tires is substantially reduced when
temperatures are less than 328F(08C) so you
must drive carefully. NISSAN recommends the
use of winter or all-season tires on all four
wheels if you plan to operate your vehicle in
snowy or icy conditions when temperatures are
less than 328F(0 8C) .
WARNING
Never use summer tires when the
temperature is below −48F(−208C) to
prevent permanent tread deformation
which may cause tire damage or tire
failure. This may cause a loss of vehicle
control which can result in serious
personal injury or death.
Tire chains may be used. (
“Tire chains”
page 8-40)
If you install tires, they must also be the specified
size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all
four wheels.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items be
carried in the vehicle during winter:
. A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove
ice and snow from the windows and wiper
blades.
. A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the
jack to give it firm support.
. A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.
. Extra window washer fluid to refill the
reservoir tank.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING
.Wet ice (328F, 0 8C and freezing rain) ,
very cold snow or ice can be slick
and very hard to drive on. The
vehicle will have much less traction
or “grip” under these conditions. Try
to avoid driving on wet ice until the
road is salted or sanded.
. Whatever the condition, drive with
caution. Accelerate and slow down
with care. If accelerating or down-
shifting too fast, the drive wheels
will lose even more traction. .
Allow more stopping distance under
these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pave-
ment.
. Allow greater following distances
on slippery roads.
. Watch for slippery spots (glare ice) .
These may appear on an otherwise
clear road in shaded areas. If a
patch of ice is seen ahead, brake
before reaching it. Try not to brake
while on the ice, and avoid any
sudden steering maneuvers.
. Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads.
. Snow can trap dangerous exhaust
gases under your vehicle. Keep
snow clear of the exhaust pipe and
from around your vehicle.
NOTE:
When driving on snow, select the SAVE
mode with the setup switch. By selecting
the SAVE mode, the engine output is
controlled appropriately for snow or slip-
pery road surfaces. This enables the vehi-
cle to start or accelerate smoothly.
