CLOSING THE HOODGUID-964E4C2C-3CBF-42B3-8D47-84E4363917401. While supporting the hood, store the stay to
the original position.
2. Slowly lower the hood. When it is at a height of 1 ft (30 cm) or higher, drop the hood and
make sure that both sides of the hood
securely lock in place.
WARNING
.Make sure the hood is completely
closed and latched before driving.
Failure to do so could cause the
hood to open and result in an accident.
. Be sure to check that the hood is
securely closed before driving. If
both sides of the hood are not
locked in place, the hood may open
during driving, possibly causing an
accident.
CAUTION
When closing the hood, lower it slowly
so that hands or other items do not get
caught.
NOTE:
Because the hood of this vehicle requires
more force to close than that for other
vehicles, the hood will be difficult to close
if you lower it all the way and then attempt
to press it closed. Be sure to drop the hood
from a height of approximately 1 ft (30 cm)
and be sure that both sides securely lock
in place.

GUID-21A15616-63E9-4EF9-8AA6-AB1104EDD26DThe fuel-filler door is located on the right 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:
Ð Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
Ð Do not use electronic devices when filling.
Ð Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are
filling it.
Ð 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, it is
recommended you have the vehicle
inspected by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
(
ªMalfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)º page 2-32)
. 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.

WARNING
.The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
. Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. On
hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
Start the engine and operate the heater and air
conditioner system.
NOTE:
. Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the passen-
ger compartment through the vents. .
When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

OPERATING TIPSGUID-5715812E-C11D-4B4D-AFA3-E1DAFE66322FWhen the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flowfrom the foot outlets may not operate. However,
this is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, the air flow from the
foot outlets will operate normally.
The sensors
*Aand*Blocated on the
instrument panel help maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or around
the sensors.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTERGUID-0A40EBE2-192F-4D7B-A8E1-21E6544D25DDThe air conditioning system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, dust, etc.
To make sure the air conditioner heats, defogs,
and ventilates efficiently, replace the filter in
accordance with the maintenance schedule in
the NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide. It
is recommended to see a NISSAN dealer or
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer to replace the
filter.
The filter should be replaced if air flow is
extremely decreased or when windows fog
up easily when operating heater or air
conditioning system.

GUID-1CB354FF-CB21-4C73-B70E-AFB9E2916D3E
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Closely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent
them from playing and becoming
locked in the trunk where they could
be seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the rear seatback and
trunk lid securely latched when not
in use, and prevent children's access
to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)GUID-C4169681-307E-40B5-A630-3CDCBC8979B6
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive with
all windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
. Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving, otherwise exhaust gases
could be drawn into the passenger
compartment. If you must drive with
the trunk lid open, follow these
precautions:
a. Open all the windows.
b. Set the
air recirculation to
off and the fan control to high to circulate the air.
. The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:
Ð The vehicle is raised for service.
Ð You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
Ð You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
Ð You have had an accident invol- ving damage to the exhaust
system, underbody, or rear of
the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYSTGUID-C6C2AC5C-58D1-4557-AB2B-17AA4021BD05The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust
gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at
high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.

5-4Starting and driving
WARNING
.The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people,
animals or flammable materials
away from the exhaust system com-
ponents.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.
NOTICE
.Do not use leaded gasoline. Depos-
its from leaded gasoline seriously
reduce the three-way catalyst's abil-
ity to help reduce exhaust pollu-
tants.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-
functions in the ignition, fuel injec-
tion, or electrical systems can cause
overrich fuel flow into the three-way
catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do
not keep driving if the engine mis-
fires, or if noticeable loss of perfor-
mance or other unusual operating conditions are detected. It is recom-
mended you have the vehicle in-
spected promptly by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, dama-
ging the three-way catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warm-
ing it up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the engine.TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
GUID-90024E82-FB34-427B-AB7F-4FE62719A8F1Each tire should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat
tires, the low tire pressure warning light will
illuminate continuously and a chime will sound
for 10 seconds. The chime will only sound at the
first indication of a flat tire, and the warning light
will illuminate continuously. When the flat tire
warning is activated, it is recommended you
have the system reset and the tire checked and
replaced if necessary by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. Even if the tire is inflated to
the specified COLD tire pressure, the warning
light will continue to illuminate until the system is
reset by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Your
vehicle can be driven for a limited time on a flat
tire. (
ªRun-flat tiresº page 8-39)
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe locationoff the road and away from traffic if possible.
5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradually stop the vehicle.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and contact a roadside emergency service to
change the tire.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
GUID-D40A9B53-32EA-4196-9F25-3C6BB46498B3
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-
stream reduces coordination, delays
reaction time and impairs judgement.
Driving after drinking alcohol increases
the likelihood of being involved in an
accident injuring yourself and others.
Additionally, if you are injured in an
accident, alcohol can increase the se-
verity of the injury.
NISSAN is committed to safe driving. However,
you must choose not to drive under the influence
of alcohol. Every year thousands of people are
injured or killed in alcohol-related accidents.
Although the local laws vary on what is considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is
that alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of
alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don't mix! And
that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter,
prescription, and illegal drugs) . Don't drive if
your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by
alcohol, drugs, or some other physical condition.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GUID-1CCF4F08-164B-4A8B-9000-1004F7B3662C
WARNING
.
Do not drive beyond the perfor-
mance capability of the tires, even
with AWD engaged. Accelerating
quickly, sharp steering maneuvers
or sudden braking may cause loss
of control.
. Always use the specified tires on all
four wheels. Install tire chains on
the rear wheels when driving on
slippery roads and drive carefully.
. This vehicle is not designed for
offroad (rough road) use. Do not
drive on sandy or muddy roads that
tires may get stuck in. .
Do not attempt to raise two wheels
off the ground and shift the trans-
mission to any
&AF&Mor&Rposition
with the engine running. Doing so
may result in drivetrain damage or
unexpected vehicle movement
which could result in serious vehicle
damage or personal injury.
. Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dy-
namometer, (such as the dynam-
ometers used by some states for
emissions testing) , or similar equip-
ment even if the other two wheels
are raised off the ground. 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 drivetrain
damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
. When a wheel is off the ground due
to an unlevel surface, do not spin
the wheel excessively.
