GUID-B42F56B1-0635-4B02-99C4-ADA544FC44E6A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
should never be tested using a two wheel
dynamometer (such as the dynamometers used
by some states for emissions testing) , or similar
equipment. Make sure you inform test facility
personnel that your vehicle is equipped with
AWD before it is placed on a dynamometer.
Using the wrong test equipment may result in
transmission damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in serious vehicle
damage or personal injury.
Due to legal requirements in some states/ areas,
your vehicle may be required to be in what is
called the ªready conditionº for an Inspection/
Maintenance (I/M) test of the emission control
system.
The vehicle is set to the ªready conditionº when
it is driven through certain driving patterns.
Usually, the ªready conditionº can be obtained
by ordinary usage of the vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is repaired or
the battery is disconnected, the vehicle may be
reset to a ªnot ready conditionº. Before taking
the I/M test, check the vehicle's inspection/
maintenance test readiness condition. Push the
ignition switch to the ON position without
starting the engine. If the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) comes on steady for 20 seconds and
then blinks for 10 seconds, the I/M testcondition is ªnot readyº. If the MIL does not
blink after 20 seconds, the I/M test condition is
ªreadyº.
It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer to set ªready conditionº or to
prepare the vehicle for testing.GUID-9DB6AD17-5556-4DA9-B475-66A5CDE6A98CThis vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR) . The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle's systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
.
How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
. Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
. How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
. How fast the vehicle was traveling.
. Sounds are not recorded.
These data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial
crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and crash
location) are recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could combine the

MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST (US only) EVENT DATA RECORDERS (EDR)

EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required and access to the vehicle
or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer and NISSAN dealer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data will
only be accessed with the consent of the vehicle
owner or lessee or as otherwise required or
permitted by law.GUID-CC39B335-0127-443E-A42E-07A8F24D6478The Vehicle Status Data Recorder (VSDR) is
different from the Event Data Recorder de-
scribed in ªEvent Data Recorderº in this section.
The VSDR is not a crash-activated device, but it
records and accumulates vehicle data while
driving.
Examples are:
.Vehicle operating information such as the
wheel speeds of the front and rear wheels
. Engine control information such as the
engine speed and boost pressure
The VSDR always records and stores vehicle
operating data between periodic inspections,
which can assist and be used for servicing,
diagnosing and performing warranty repairs.
The VSDR does not record sounds, conversa-
tions or images.
To read data recorded by the VSDR, special
equipment is required and access to the vehicle
or the VSDR is needed.
HANDLING OF DATAGUID-6C31D396-532C-47AF-8C54-D7572F10E85CNISSAN and third parties affiliated with NISSAN
can acquire and use the data recorded by the
VSDR in order to confirm the part replacement
history to improve the quality of NISSAN
vehicles.
With the exception of the following cases, neither NISSAN nor third parties affiliated with
NISSAN, shall disclose or offer the acquired
data to other non-affiliated third parties.
.
With the agreement of the vehicle owner
. When legally required to, such as when
ordered by a court of law, etc.
. When offering processed data so that
neither the vehicle owner nor the vehicle is
identified, to research centers for statistical
analysis, etc.
