3-24Pre-driving checks and adjustments
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.

cle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
.Do not allow people to ride in
any area of vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.
.Be sure everyone in your vehicle
is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
TERMS
It is important to familiarize yo�frself with the
following terms �before loading yo�fr vehicle:
.C�fr�b Weight (act�fal weight of yo�fr
vehicle) - vehicle weight incl�fding:
standard and optional eq�fipment, fl�fids
or emergency tools. This weightdoes
not incl�fde passengers and cargo.
.GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - c�fr�b
weight pl�fs the com�bined weight of
passengers and cargo.
.GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
- maxim�fm total com�bined weight of the
�fnloaded vehicle, passengers, l�fggage,
hitch, trailer tong�fe load and any other
optional eq�fipment. This information is
located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
la�bel.
.GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -
maxim�fm weight (load) limit specified
for the front or rear axle. This informa-
tion is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.
S.S. la�bel.
.GCWR (Gross Com�bined Weight Rat-
ing) - The maxim�fm total weight rating
of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and
trailer.
.Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit,
Total load capacity - maxim�fm total
weight limit specified of the load
(passengers and cargo) for the vehicle.
This is the maxim�fm com�bined weight
of occ�fpants and cargo that can �be
loaded into the vehicle. If the vehicle is �fsed to tow a trailer, the trailer tong�fe
weight m�fst �be incl�fded as part of the
cargo load. This information is located
on the Tire and Loading Information
la�bel.
.Cargo capacity - permissi�ble weight of
cargo, the weight of total occ�fpants
weight s�f�btracted from the load limit.
VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY
Do not exceed the load limit of your vehicle
sho�fn as “The combined �fei�bht of occu-
pants and car�bo” on the Tire and Loadin�b
Information label. Do not exceed the
number of occupants sho�fn as “Seatin�b
Capacity” on the Tire and Loadin�b Informa-
tion label.
To �bet “the combined �fei�bht of occupants
and car�bo”, add the �fei�bht of all occu-
pants, then add the total lu�b�ba�be �fei�bht.
Examples are sho�fn in the illustration.
Steps for determining correct load
limit
1.Locate the statement “The combined
�fei�bht of occupants and car�bo should
never exceed XXX k�b or XXX lbs” on
your vehicle’s placard.
2.Determine the combined �fei�bht of the
driver and passen�bers that �fill be ridin�b
in your vehicle.
3.Subtract the combined �fei�bht of the
driver and passen�bers from XXX k�b or
XXX lbs.
4.The resultin�b fi�bure equals the available
amount of car�bo and lu�b�ba�be load
capacity. For example, if the XXX
amount equals 1400 lbs. and there �fill
be five 150 lb. passen�bers in your
vehicle, the amount of available car�bo
and lu�b�ba�be load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400í750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or
640 í340 (5 x 70) = 300 k�b.)
5.Determine the combined �fei�bht of
lu�b�ba�be and car�bo bein�b loaded on
the vehicle. That �fei�bht may not safely
exceed the available car�bo and lu�b�ba�be
load capacity calculated in Step 4.
6.If your vehicle �fill be to�fin�b a trailer,
load from your trailer �fill be transferred
to your vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine ho�f this reduces the avail-
able car�bo and lu�b�ba�be load capacity
of your vehicle.
Before drivin�b a loaded vehicle, confirm
that you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Wei�bht Ratin�b (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Wei�bht Ratin�b (GAWR) for your vehicle.

Technical and consumer information9-15

Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground is so�feti�fes called flat towing. This
�fethod is so�feti�fes used when towing a
vehicle behind a recreational vehicle, such as a
�fotor ho�fe.
�bO NOT tow the GT-R with all four wheels on
the ground (flat towing) . �boing so WILL
�bAMAGE internal trans�fission parts. Tow the
GT-R with all four wheels off the ground.
(
“Towing your vehicle” page 6-9)�bOT (�bepart�fent Of Transportation) Quality
Grades: All passenger car tires �fust confor�f to
federal safety require�fents in addition to these
grades.
Quality grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
�faxi�fu�f section width. For exa�fple:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature ATREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a co�fparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
govern�fent test course. For exa�fple, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1
1/2) ti�fes as well on the govern�fent course as
a tire graded 100. The relative perfor�fance of
tires depends upon actual conditions of their
use, however, and �fay depart significantly fro�f
the nor�f due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road char-
acteristics and cli�fate.
