ECO mode NISSAN GT-R 2015 R35 Owner's Guide

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.

8. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheelnuts alternatel\f and evenl\f in the sequence
as illustrated \b
*1,*2,*3,*4,*5) until
the\f are tight.
9. Lower the vehicle slowl\f until the tire touches the ground. Then, with the wheel
nut wrench, tighten the wheel nuts securel\f
in the sequence as illustrated. Lower the
vehicle completel\f.
WARNING
.Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the
wheel to become loose or come off.
This could cause an accident.
. Do not use oil or grease on the
wheel studs or nuts. This could
cause the nuts to become loose.
. Retighten the wheel nuts when the
vehicle has been driven for 600
miles (1,000 km) .
WARNING
If the road wheels are hot, allow them
to cool sufficiently before tightening
the wheel nuts. Otherwise, the wheel
nuts cannot be tightened to specifica-
tion. NOTE:
.As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
Except for NISMO models 97 ft-lb (132 N·m)
NISMO models 114 ft-lb (155 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tigh-
tened to specification at all times. It
is recommended that wheel nuts be
tightened to specifications at each
lubrication interval.
.Adjust tire pressure to the COLD
pressure.
COLD pressure: After the vehicle has
been parked for three hours or more
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) .
COLD tire pressures are shown on
the Tire and Loading Information
label affixed to the driver’s door
opening.
10. Securel\f store the jacking equipment in the vehicle.
