warning light NISSAN GT-R 2020 Owners Manual

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.

Starting and driving

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.
Low tire pressure:

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.

body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn
and the driver and passenger seated
upright as far as practical away from the
side air bags. The side air bags and
curtain air bags inflate quickly in order
to help protect occupants. Because of
this, the force of the side air bags and
curtain air bags inflating can increase the
risk of injury if the occupant is too close
to, or is against, these air bag modules
during inflation. In a rollover, the curtain
air bags on both sides are designed to
inflate. Under both side-impact situations,
the curtain air bags will remain inflated
for a short period of time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags
operate only when the ignition switch is
in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.

.If the vehicle becomes involved in
a collision but the pretensioner is
not activated, it is recommended
to have the pretensioner system
checked and, if necessary, re-
placed by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the pretensioners. This
is to prevent damage to or acci-
dental activation of the preten-
sioners. Tampering with the
pretensioner system may result
in serious personal injury.
. Work around and on the preten-
sioners should be done by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Installa-
tion of electrical equipment
should also be done by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Un-
authorized electrical test equip-
ment and probing devices should
not be used on the pretensioners.
. If you need to dispose of a pre-
tensioner or scrap the vehicle, it is
recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. In-
correct disposal procedures
could cause personal injury. The pretensioner system may activate
with the supplemental air bag system in
certain types of collisions. Working with
the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the
seat belt when the vehicle becomes
involved in certain types of collisions,
helping to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat
belt retractor. These seat belts are used
the same way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is
released and a loud noise may be heard.
The smoke is not harmful, and it does not
indicate a fire. Care should be taken not
to inhale it as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air
promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters
allow the seat belt to release webbing (if
necessary) to reduce forces against the
chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light

.The supplemental air bag warning
light remains on after approximately
7 seconds.
. The supplemental air bag warning
light flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning
light does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag and/
or pretensioner systems may not operate
properly. They must be checked and
repaired. It is recommended you take
your vehicle to the nearest GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
