warning NISSAN GT-R 2020 Workshop Manual

another GT-R are installed on
your vehicle.
. The TPMS will not function prop-
erly if non-GT-R wheels are in-
stalled on the vehicle.
. Do not place metalized film or
any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on
the windows. This may cause
poor reception of the signals
from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function
properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of
the TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some exam-
ples are:
. Facilities or electric devices using
similar radio frequencies are near the
vehicle.
. If a transmitter set to similar frequen-
cies is being used in or near the
vehicle.
. If a computer (or similar equipment) or
a DC/AC converter is being used in or
near the vehicle.
Low tire pressure warning light may
illuminate in the following cases. .
If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel
and tire without TPMS.
. If the TPMS has been replaced and the
ID has not been registered.
. If the wheel is not originally specified
by NISSAN.

dually 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

NOTICE
.If the warning light comes on
while driving there may be a
malfunction in the AWD system.
Reduce the vehicle speed and it is
recommended you have your ve-
hicle checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
. If the warning light remains on
after the above operation, it is
recommended you have your ve-
hicle checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
. The powertrain may be damaged
if you continue driving with the
warning light blinking.
. Do not spin the rear wheels while
driving. Spinning the rear wheels
may increase the temperatures
of the AWD clutch system and
damage the system. Adjust the
accelerator pedal position to stop
wheel spin.
TIGHT CORNER BRAKING PHE-
NOMENONIf the steering wheel is turned more than
half a turn when the vehicle is started
when it is cold, it may be harder to move
the vehicle forward and backward. This
phenomenon is known as the “tight
corner braking phenomenon”.
This phenomenon is unique to AWD
vehicles, and occurs due to a difference
in speeds between the front and rear
wheels while the vehicle is turning. This
does not indicate that there is a malfunc-
tion.
NOTE:
If the tight corner braking phenomenon
occurs, a slipping sound may be heard
from the tires, or a squeaking sound
may be heard from the drive system.Reducing tight corner braking
phenomenonThe tight corner braking phenomenon
can be reduced if the following three
conditions are met:
.Transmission setup switch is set to
Normal mode.
. Vehicle speed is low (less than ap-
proximately 6 MPH (10 km/h)). .
The steering wheel is turned more
than 1/2 turn.
TIRESThis vehicle is equipped with special tires.
When changing the tires, install the de-
signated special tires. Replacing tires as a
set of four with new ones is recom-
mended. However, if a tire is punctured
or damaged, it may be possible to replace
only the damaged tire. Determining
whether one tire or a complete set of
tires should be replaced is based on a
number of factors including tire wear and
condition. Contact your GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. They can recommend if
an individual tire or a complete set should
be replaced.
NOTICE
If tires other than the designated
tires, tires with large differences in
wear or tires of different sizes are
installed, the AWD performance will
be degraded and the drive mechan-
ism may be damaged.

operates to prevent one drive wheel from
slipping by transferring power to a non
slipping drive wheel. The VDC warning
light

whenever you work on your ve-
hicle.
. If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage,
be sure there is proper ventilation
for exhaust gases to escape.
. Never get under the vehicle while
it is supported only by a jack. If it
is necessary to work under the
vehicle, support it with safety
stands.
. Keep smoking materials, flame
and sparks away from fuel tank
and the battery.
. Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic engine cooling fan. It
may come on at any time without
warning, even if the ignition key is
in the OFF position and the en-
gine is not running. To avoid
injury, always disconnect the ne-
gative battery cable before work-
ing near the fan.
. The fuel filter or fuel lines should
be serviced by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer because the fuel
lines are under high pressure
even when the engine is off.

subject it to a strong impact.
When removing the tires, be care-
ful not to allow the tire to inter-
fere with the brake disc rotor.
REPLACING BRAKE PADS AND
BRAKE DISC ROTORS.When replacing brake pads and brake
disc rotors, NISSAN recommends re-
placing two sets of them at the same
time. However, the brake pads can be
separately replaced only when a GT-R
certified technician judges that the
brake disc rotors are reusable, based
on a measured weight and a check for
scratches and cracks.
. It is recommended that maintenance
and inspection on your vehicle should
be performed at a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer after engaging in high
performance driving. Otherwise, the
peripheral parts of the brake may be
damaged due to the generation of
special radiant heat because of the
characteristics of the material in addi-
tion to brake pad wear and the
deterioration in durability of the brake
disc rotor.
Brake padWhen the brake warning light illuminates
to indicate brake pad wear, have the
brake system checked and brake pads
replaced as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended you contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer for this service.

NOTICE
Make sure the tire valve stem cap is
installed and that the valve stem is
tight. When installing the cap, make
sure to tighten the cap by hand. If a
tool is used to tighten the cap, the
cap may be damaged.TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It
monitors tire pressure of all tires. When
the low tire pressure warning light is lit,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. The system also displays
pressure of all tires on the touch screen
display by sending a signal from a sensor
that is installed in each wheel.
The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not
detect a sudden drop in tire pressure.
(

ways use run-flat tires of the specified
size on all four wheels. Mixing tire sizes or
construction may reduce vehicle handling
stability. If necessary, contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for assistance.
Frequently check the tire pressure infor-
mation on the touch screen display and
adjust pressure of each tire properly. See
the separate Multi Function Display Own-
er’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 driving, the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will come on. If the tire becomes
flat while driving, the low tire pressure
warning light and the run-flat tire warn-
ing display will come on.
