How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Cl�bse all wind�bws.The system can be armed even if the
windows are open.
2. Push the igniti�bn switch t�b the OFF �br LOCK p�bsiti�bn.
3. Rem�bve the Intelligent Key fr�bm the vehicle.
4. Cl�bse all d�b�brs, h�b�bd and trunk. L�bck all d�b�brs. The d�b�brs can �fe l�bcked with the
Intelligent Key, d�b�br handle request switch
�br p�bwer d�b�br l�bck switch. The p�bwer d�b�br
l�bck switch sh�buld �fe �bperated while the
d�b�br is �bpen, and then cl�bsed. 5. C�bnfirm that the security indicat�br light
c�bmes �bn. The security indicat�br light stays
�bn f�br a�f�but 30 sec�bnds. The vehicle
security system is n�bw pre-armed. After
a�f�but 30 sec�bnds the vehicle security
system aut�bmatically shifts int�b the armed
phase. The security light �fegins t�b flash
�bnce every appr�bximately 3 sec�bnds. If,
during this 30-sec�bnd pre-arm time peri�bd,
the d�b�br is unl�bcked, �br the igniti�bn switch is
pushed t�b ACC �br ON, the system will n�bt
arm.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors, hood, and trunk lid locked
with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position. When pushing the ignition switch
to the ACC or ON position, the system will
be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the f�bll�bw-
ing alarm:
. The headlights �flink and the h�brn s�bunds
intermittently.
. The alarm aut�bmatically turns �bff after
appr�bximately 1 minute. H�bwever, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again.

OPENING THE HOOD
1. Pull the hood lock release handle*1
located \felow the instrument \banel. The
hood will then s\bring u\b slightly.
2. Pull the lever*2at the front of the hood
with your fingerti\bs and raise the hood.3. Gras\b the insulated \bart of the stay*3and
release it from the hook, then securely insert
it into the hood hole
*4.
WARNING
If you see steam or smoke coming from
the engine compartment, do not open
the hood. Doing so could cause injury.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS)
WARNING
.The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
is a sophisticated device, but it
cannot prevent accidents resulting
from careless or dangerous driving
techniques. It can help maintain
vehicle control during braking on
slippery surfaces. Remember that
stopping distances on slippery sur-
faces will be longer than on normal
surfaces even with ABS. Stopping
distances may also be longer on
rough, gravel or snow covered
roads, or if you are using tire chains.
Always maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Ultimately, the driver is responsible
for safety.
. Tire type and condition may also
affect braking effectiveness. When
replacing tires, install the specified
size of tires on all four wheels. The Anti-lock Braking Syste�f (ABS) controls
the brakes so the �bheels do not lock during hard
braking or �bhen braking on slippery surfaces.
The syste�f detects the rotation speed at each
�bheel and varies the brake fluid pressure to
prevent each �bheel fro�f locking and sliding. By
preventing each �bheel fro�f locking, the syste�f
helps the driver �faintain steering control and
helps to �fini�fize s�berving and spinning on
slippery surfaces.
Using the system
Depress the brake pedal and hold it do�bn.
Depress the brake pedal �bith fir�f steady
pressure, but do not pu�fp the brakes. The
ABS �bill operate to prevent the �bheels fro�f
locking up. Steer the vehicle to avoid obstacles.
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so
may result in increased stopping dis-
tances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pu�fps, hydraulic solenoids and a co�fputer. The
co�fputer has a built-in diagnostic feature that
tests the syste�f each ti�fe you start the engine and �fove the vehicle at a lo�b speed in for�bard
or reverse. When the self-test occurs, you �fay
hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the
brake pedal. This does not indicate that there is
a �falfunction. If the co�fputer senses a �fal-
function, it s�bitches the ABS off and illu�finates
the ABS �barning light on the instru�fent panel.
The brake syste�f then operates nor�fally, but
�bithout anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS �barning light illu�finates during the
self-test or �bhile driving, have the vehicle
checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6 MPH
(5 to 10 k�f/h) . The speed varies according to
road conditions.
When the ABS senses that one or �fore �bheels
are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly
applies and releases hydraulic pressure. This
action is si�filar to pu�fping the brakes very
quickly. You �fay feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal and hear a noise fro�f under the hood or
feel a vibration fro�f the actuator �bhen it is
operating. This is nor�fal and indicates that the
ABS is operating properly. Ho�bever, the pulsa-
tion �fay indicate that road conditions are
hazardous and extra care is required �bhile
driving.
