reset NISSAN GT-R 2015 R35 Owner's Manual

to help you with information about
tire type, size, speed rating and
availability.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
. For additional information regard-
ing tires, refer to “Important Tire
Safety Information” (US) or “Tire
Safety Information” (Canada) in the
Warranty Information Booklet.
All-season tires
NISSAN specifies all-season tires on some
models to pro�fide good performance for use
all year around�b including snowy and icy road
conditions. All-season tires are identified by ALL
SEASON on the tire sidewall.
Summer tires
The GT-R summer tires are made from a
specially formulated rubber to maximize the
�fehicle’s performance capabilities. Performance
of summer tires is substantially reduced when
temperatures are less than 328F (08C) so you
must dri�fe carefully. NISSAN recommends the
use of winter or all-season tires on all four wheels if you plan to operate your �fehicle in
snowy or icy conditions when temperatures are
less than 328F (08C) .
WARNING
Never use summer tires when the
temperature is below
í48F(í208C) 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.
Run-flat tires
Your �fehicle is equipped with run-flat tires. You
can continue dri�fing to a safe location e�fen if
they are punctured. Always use run-flat tires of
the specified size on all four wheels. Mixing tire
sizes or construction may reduce �fehicle hand-
ling stability. If necessary�b contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for assistance.
Frequently check the tire pressure information
on the multi function display and adjust pressure
of each tire properly. See the separate Multi
Function Display Owner’s Manual.
It can be difficult to tell if a run-flat tire is under-
inflated or flat. Check the tire pressures as described earlier in this section. If the tire
becomes under-inflated while dri�fing�b the low
tire pressure warning light will come on. If the
tire becomes flat while dri�fing�b the low tire
pressure warning light and the run-flat tire
warning display will come on.
Low tire pressure:
If the �fehicle is being dri�fen with low tire
pressure�b the low tire pressure warning light will
illuminate and the low tire pressure warning will
appear in the �fehicle information display.
Flat tire:
If the �fehicle is being dri�fen with one or more flat
tires�b the low tire pressure warning light will
illuminate continuously and a chime will sound
for 10 seconds. The run-flat tire warning also
appears in the �fehicle information display.
The chime will only sound at the first indication
of a flat tire and the run-flat tire warning display
will illuminate continuously. When the flat tire
warning is acti�fated�b ha�fe the system reset and
the tire checked and replaced if necessary by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. E�fen if the tire is
inflated to the specified COLD tire pressure�b the
warning light will continue to illuminate until the
system is reset by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.

which have the same off-set dimen-
sion. Wheels of a different off-set
could cause premature tire wear,
degrade vehicle handling character-
istics, affect the VDC system and/or
cause interference with the brake
discs. Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency and/or
early brake pad wear. (

and tires” page 9-9)
. When a wheel is replaced, tire
pressure will not be indicated, the
TPMS will not function and the low
tire pressure warning light will flash
for approximately 1 minute and
remain on after the 1 minute. Con-
tact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
as soon as possible for tire replace-
ment and/or system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
. Do not install a damaged or de-
formed wheel or tire even if it has
been repaired. Such wheels or tires
could have structural damage and
could fail without warning. .
Never use retread tires.
. For additional information regard-
ing tires, refer to “Important Tire
Safety Information” (US) or “Tire
Safety Information” (Canada) in the
Warranty Information Booklet.
. Always use tires of the specified
type, size, brand, construction (bias,
bias-belted, radial or run-flat) , and
tread pattern on all four wheels.
Failure to do so may result in a
circumference difference between
tires on the front and rear axles
which will cause excessive tire wear
and may damage the transmission,
transfer case and differential gears.
