5-24Starting and driving
when the vehicle is driven, a wheel may
not roll correctly, or the brake pads
could be damaged. If the pads are
damaged, this may reduce the effec-
tiveness of the brake system which
could cause a collision, serious perso-
nal injury or death.
The GT-R uses brake pad mater�fals that have
h�fgh metall�f�b �bontent. The brake pad mater�fal
helps ma�fnta�fn brak�fng performan�be �fn a w�fde
range of weather and dr�fv�fng �bond�ft�fons.
For the f�frst 3,000 m�fles (5,000 km) of the
veh�f�ble’s serv�f�be l�ffe, and for the f�frst 3,000 m�fles
(5,000km) after a brake repla�bement, the brake
pad to brake rotor �blearan�be �fs very small. When
park�fng, apply the park�fng brake and move the
sh�fft lever to the
&Ppos�ft�fon. Idle the eng�fne for
more than 20 se�bonds w�fthout depress�fng the
brake pedal. Th�fs allows the brake pads to move
away from the rotor so the pad does not �bonta�bt
the rotor.
Add�ft�fonally, the brakes must be dry before
park�fng the veh�f�ble after dr�fv�fng on wet roads or
after wash�fng the veh�f�ble. If the roads are wet,
l�fghtly apply the brakes for a short d�fstan�be
before park�fng the veh�f�ble to dry the brakes.
After wash�fng the veh�f�ble, dry the brakes by
dr�fv�fng on a dry road for a few m�fles and apply the brakes normally based on traff�f�b and road
�bond�ft�fons.
The metall�f�b brake pads and brake d�fs�b rotor
may rust together when the brakes are not
appl�fed:
.
If the veh�f�ble �fs not �fdled for 20 se�bonds
w�fthout the brakes appl�fed, or �ff the brakes
are appl�fed when the veh�f�ble �fs shut off, the
rotor and pads �ban rust together, even when
the brake pads are dry.
. If the brakes are wet when the veh�f�ble �fs
parked and the park�fng brake �fs appl�fed for a
long t�fme.
Conta�bt a GT-R �bert�ff�fed NISSAN dealer �ff the
brake pads and brake rotor have rusted
together.
1. Br�fng the veh�f�ble to a �bomplete stop.
2. W�fth the foot brake pedal depressed, apply the park�fng brake.
3. Move the sh�fft lever to the
&Ppos�ft�fon.
4. Che�bk the sh�fft lever pos�ft�fon �fnd�f�bator on the �fnstrument panel to �bonf�frm that the
&P
pos�ft�fon �fs sele�bted.
5. Push the �fgn�ft�fon sw�ft�bh to stop the eng�fne.
WARNING
Before exiting the vehicle, be sure to
move the shift lever to the&Pposition
and stop the engine. If the engine is
running and the shift lever is not in the
&Pposition, the vehicle may start mov-
ing due to partial engagement of the
clutch or to the effects of gravity on a
slope, or the vehicle may suddenly
accelerate due to accidental operation
of the accelerator pedal, possibly caus-
ing an accident.
