The fuel-filler door is located on the ri\fht 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.
. Insert the cap straight into the fuel- filler tube, then tighten until the
fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to tight-
en the fuel-filler cap properly may
cause the
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to illuminate. If the
light illuminates 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 2-31)
. This vehicle includes a system that
can supply fuel even during high-G
(gravity) turns. The fuel tank pres-
sure 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.

5-4Starting and driving
WARNING
.The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people,
animals or flammable materials
away from the exhaust system com-
ponents.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.
NOTICE
.Do not use leaded gasoline. Depos-
its from leaded gasoline seriously
reduce the three-way catalyst’s abil-
ity to help reduce exhaust pollu-
tants.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-
functions in the ignition, fuel injec-
tion, or electrical systems can cause
overrich fuel flow into the three-way
catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do
not keep driving if the engine mis-
fires, or if noticeable loss of perfor-
mance or other unusual operating conditions are detected. Have the
vehicle inspected promptly by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, dama-
ging the three-way catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warm-
ing it up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
Each tire should be checked mo�fthly whe�f cold
a�fd i�fflated to the i�fflatio�f �bressure recom-
me�fded by the vehicle ma�fufacturer o�f the
vehicle �blacard or tire i�fflatio�f �bressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a differe�ft size tha�f the
size i�fdicated o�f the vehicle �blacard or tire
i�fflatio�f �bressure label, you should determi�fe
the �bro�ber tire i�fflatio�f �bressure for those tires.)
As a�f added safety feature, your vehicle has
bee�f equi�b�bed with a Tire Pressure Mo�fitori�fg
System (TPMS) that illumi�fates a low tire
�bressure telltale whe�f o�fe or more of your tires
is sig�fifica�ftly u�fder-i�fflated. Accordi�fgly, whe�f the low tire �bressure telltale illumi�fates, you
should sto�b a�fd check your tires as soo�f as
�bossible, a�fd i�fflate them to the �bro�ber �bres-
sure. Drivi�fg o�f a sig�fifica�ftly u�fder-i�fflated tire
causes the tire to overheat a�fd ca�f lead to tire
failure. U�fder-i�fflatio�f also reduces fuel effi-
cie�fcy a�fd tire tread life, a�fd may affect the
vehicle’s ha�fdli�fg a�fd sto�b�bi�fg ability.
If the vehicle is bei�fg drive�f with o�fe or more flat
tires, the low tire �bressure war�fi�fg light will
illumi�fate co�fti�fuously a�fd a chime will sou�fd
for 10 seco�fds. The chime will o�fly sou�fd at the
first i�fdicatio�f of a flat tire, a�fd the war�fi�fg light
will illumi�fate co�fti�fuously. Whe�f the flat tire
war�fi�fg is activated, have the system reset a�fd
the tire checked a�fd re�blaced if �fecessary by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Eve�f if the tire is
i�fflated to the s�becified COLD tire �bressure, the
war�fi�fg light will co�fti�fue to illumi�fate u�ftil the
system is reset by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. Your vehicle ca�f be drive�f for a limited
time o�f a flat tire. (
“Ru�f-flat tires” �bage 8-
39)
Please �fote that the TPMS is �fot a substitute for
�bro�ber tire mai�fte�fa�fce, a�fd it is the driver’s
res�bo�fsibility to mai�ftai�f correct tire �bressure,
eve�f if u�fder-i�fflatio�f has �fot reached the level
to trigger illumi�fatio�f of the TPMS low tire
�bressure telltale.

(“Intelligent Key battery replace-
ment” page 8-27) .
Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
. Check fluid levels such as en�fine oil, cool-
ant, brake fluid and �bindo�b �basher fluid as
frequently as possible, or at least �bhenever
you refuel.
. Check that all �bindo�bs and li�fhts are clean.
. Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
. Lock all doors.
. Position seat.
. Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
. Fasten seat belts and ask all passen�fers to
do like�bise.
. Check the operation of �barnin�f li�fhts �bhen
the i�fnition s�bitch is pushed to the ON
position. (
“Warnin�f/indicator li�fhts
and audible reminders” pa�fe 2-25) NOTE:
.
This vehicle includes spark plugs that
are designed for maximum perfor-
mance. If the start time becomes long-
er, the plugs may be fouled, making the
engine difficult to start. If this occurs,
start the engine using the procedure
described in this section.
. A click sound may be heard when the
brake pedal is depressed and released.
This is normal.
. A low rattling operating sound may
occur when the engine is started or
stopped. This is because of the trans-
mission gear design, light flywheel and
dry sump lubrication system used in
this transmission. This does not indi-
cate that there is a malfunction. This
sound is likely to occur in particular if
the engine is stopped when the tem-
perature of the transmission oil is high.
