ble.

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.
