the passenger compartment fuse box.
6. If a new fuse also opens, have the electrical system checked and re-
paired. It is recommended you contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Fusible linksIf any electrical equipment does not
operate and fuses are in good condition,
check the fusible links. If any of these
fusible links are melted, replace only with
genuine NISSAN parts.
WARNING
Never use a fuse of a higher or lower
amperage rating than that specified
on the fuse box cover. This could
damage the electrical system or
electronic control units or cause a
fire.
If any electrical equipment does not
operate, check for an open fuse.

4. If the fuse is open, replace it with a new fuse.
5. If a new fuse also opens, have the electrical system checked and re-
paired. It is recommended you contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Extended storage fuse switch (if
so equipped)To reduce battery drain, the extended
storage fuse switch comes from the
factory switched off. Prior to delivery of
your vehicle, the switch is pushed in (switched on) and should always remain
on.
If any electrical equipment does not
operate, remove the extended storage
fuse switch and check for an open fuse.
NOTE:
If the extended storage fuse switch
malfunctions, or if the fuse is open, it
is not necessary to replace the switch.
In this case, remove the extended sto-
rage fuse switch and replace it with a
new fuse of the same rating.

NOTICE
Because there is the risk of scratch-

item around the screwdriver when
separating the parts. If the screwdri-

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.
(
“Low tire pressure warning light”
page 2-30) (
“Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” page 5-4) (
“Flat tire”
page 6-3)
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressure often and
always prior to long distance trips.
The recommended tire pressure
specifications are shown on the F.
M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label or the Tire
and Loading Information label (if so
equipped) under the “Cold Tire
Pressure” heading. The Tire and
Loading Information label is affixed
to the driver side door end. Tire
pressures should be checked reg-
ularly because:.
Most tires naturally lose air over
time.
.
Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other
objects or if the vehicle strikes
a curb while parking.
NOTE:
. You can check the pressure of all
four tires on the touch screen dis-
play. See the separate Multi Func-
tion Display Owner’s Manual.
. The tires of this vehicle are filled
with nitrogen gas. When the tire
pressure is low, fill the tires with nitrogen. It is recommended you
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer for information on filling the
tires with nitrogen.
. If nitrogen is not available, com-
pressed air may be safely used
under normal driving conditions.
However, NISSAN recommends re-
filling with nitrogen for maximum
tire performance.
The tire pressures should be
checked when the tires are cold.
The tires are considered COLD after
the vehicle has been parked for 3 or
more hours, or driven less than 1
mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely
affect tire life and vehicle hand-
ling.
WARNING
.
Improperly inflated tires can
fail suddenly and cause an
accident.
.
The Gross Vehicle Weight
rating (GVWR) is located on

the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. cer-
tification label. The vehicle
weight capacity is indicated
on the Tire and Loading In-
formation label (if so
equipped). Do not load your
vehicle beyond this capacity.
Overloading your vehicle
may result in reduced tire
life, unsafe operating condi-
tions due to premature tire
failure, or unfavorable hand-
ling characteristics and
could also lead to a serious
accident. Loading beyond
the specified capacity may
also result in failure of other
vehicle components.
.
Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you heavily load
your vehicle, use a tire pres-
sure gauge to ensure that
the tire pressures are at the
specified level.
.
For additional information
regarding tires, refer to “Im-
portant Tire Safety Informa-tion” (US) or “Tire Safety
Information” (Canada) in the
Warranty Information Book-
let.
NOTE:
.
Use only genuine GT-R tires and
road wheels.
The GT-R uses specially designed
run-flat tires and matching road
wheels. Use of these specially devel-
oped tires and wheels provides the
greatest potential for maximum
performance.
—Genuine GT-R tires and road
wheels help achieve maximum
cornering and braking perfor-
mance.
— Genuine GT-R tires and road
wheels help achieve maximum
tire durability during acceleration.
— Genuine GT-R tires and road
wheels help achieve maximum
handling capability during perfor-
mance driving.
— Genuine GT-R tires and road
wheels help provide road holding
in the event of decreasing tire
pressure and punctures. —
Genuine GT-R tires and road
wheels help prevent the decrease
of straight-running stability
caused by uneven tire wear due
to high rigidity wheels and wide
tires.
. The GT-R uses specially designed
run-flat tires which feature an ex-
tremely rigid side wall. Special tech-
niques and equipment are therefore
required when replacing these tires.
NISSAN recommends that tire repla-
cement be performed at a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
. Specific tire changing equipment
must be used to remove the GT-R
tires from the wheel and to install
the GT-R tires onto the wheel. It is
only possible to reuse the tires when
they have no cracks and/or defor-
mations on the bead portion of the
tire. If the incorrect equipment is
used to remove the GT-R tires from
the wheel and to install the GT-R
tires onto the wheel, cracks and
deformation may occur on the bead
portion of the tires meaning that the
tires cannot be reused. It is recom-
mended you contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer if the tires need to be
removed from the wheels.
