light NISSAN GT-R 2022 Owners Manual

Do not use the cruise control when
driving under the following condi-
tions. Doing so could cause a loss of
vehicle control and result in an acci-
dent.
.When it is not possible to keep
the vehicle at a set speed.
. In heavy traffic or in traffic that
varies in speed.
. On winding or hilly roads.
. On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.).
. In very windy areas.
NOTE:
. When the SAVE mode is selected
with the transmission setup switch,
the acceleration and deceleration
can be controlled smoothly. When
the SAVE mode is selected, the
maximum setting speed is lower
than the one in the normal mode. When the vehicle approaches a gen-
tle uphill, there may be a slight delay
as the vehicle returns to the preset
speed. However, the vehicle will
gradually accelerate and return to
the preset speed.
PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CON-
TROL.
If the cruise control system malfunc-
tions, it will cancel automatically. The
SET indicator will blink and the cruise
control system warning will appear to
warn the driver. (
“Cruise control
system warning” page 2-43)
. If the engine coolant temperature
becomes excessively high, the cruise
control system will be canceled auto-
matically.
. If the SET indicator blinks, turn the
cruise control main switch off and it is
recommended you contact a GT-R

and release it. (The SET indicator will
illuminate in the meter.) Take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. Your
vehicle will maintain the set speed.
NOTE:
If the vehicle speed reaches approxi-
mately 3 MPH (5 km/h) over the set
speed, the set speed on the vehicle
information display blinks.Passing another vehicleTo pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the pre- viously set speed.
Increasing the set vehicle speedTo reset at a faster cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
.
Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET/COAST
switch.
. Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELER-
ATE switch. When the vehicle attains

the child restraint is loose, repeat
steps 1 through 6.
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child re-
straint. Failure to use the ALR mode
will result in the child restraint not
being properly secured. The restraint
could tip over or be loose and cause
injury to a child in a sudden stop or
collision. Also, it can change the
operation of the front passenger air
bag. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” later in this section.

The computer has a built-in diagnostic
feature that tests the system each time
you start the engine and move the vehicle
forward or in reverse at a slow speed.
When the self-test occurs, you may hear a
“clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the
brake pedal. This is normal and is not an
indication of a malfunction.

brake pads, rotors and calipers
are not standard equipment or
are extremely deteriorated, the
VDC system may not operate
properly and the VDC warning
light
may illuminate.
. If engine control related parts are
not standard equipment or are
extremely deteriorated, the VDC
warning light
may illuminate.
. When driving on extremely in-
clined surfaces such as higher
banked corners, the VDC system
may not operate properly and the

may illumi-
nate. Do not drive on these types of roads.
. When driving on an unstable sur-
face such as a turntable, ferry,
elevator or ramp, the VDC warn-
ing light
may illuminate. This
is not a malfunction. Restart the
engine after driving onto a stable
surface.
. If wheels or tires other than the
those recommended are used,
the VDC system may not operate
properly and the VDC warning
light
may illuminate.
. The VDC system is not a substi-
tute for winter tires or tire chains

NOTE:
. Always make sure the VDC is ON
before driving the vehicle by check-
ing that the VDC OFF indicator lights
on the meter and the VDC set-up
switch are not illuminated.
The GT-R is a high performance
vehicle and the VDC must be on/
activated to provide proper power-
train operation and intended driva-
bility.Starting and driving

WARNING
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. The fuel tank is full at the first
automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the
fuel tank is located as low as possible to
lower the vehicle center of gravity. The
tank is also divided into two parts. This
fuel tank design causes higher pressures
inside the tank than other vehicles so fuel
spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the
vehicle is hot, especially if the tank is more
than half full. If the cap is opened when
the vehicle is hot, it may cause fuel spray
and there may be a hissing noise. Open
the cap slowly, releasing the pressure
from the tank gradually. Also, 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. Refuel slowly or refuel after the vehicle
has cooled.
GASOLINE SMELLThe fuel temperature is higher when the
vehicle is hot. This may cause a gasoline
smell from the vehicle. This does not
indicate that there is a malfunction. The
smell will go away when the fuel tem-
perature has cooled.OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
INDICATES HIGHER TEMPERATUREHeat from the engine compartment, ra-
diator and intercoolers can affect the
outside temperature display. The outside
temperature display may indicate a high-
er than actual temperature while driving
or stopped. This is normal.IDLE SPEED IS NOT STEADYThe idle speed may not be steady when
the engine compartment is extremely
hot. This is normal. The engine speed will
be steady when the engine cools down.
In this case, the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) may come on. After a few
driving trips, the MIL should turn off. If the
light remains on after a few driving trips, it
is recommended you have the vehicle
inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.

GT-R SPECIFIC VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS

Rattles from brake pads and creaks
during braking
The high performance brake system of
vehicles equipped with the NCCB (NISSAN
Carbon Ceramic Brake) has more clear-
ance between its brake pad and brake
caliper than regular vehicles, and it uses a
large brake pad to ensure stable brakingperformance under a wide range of driv-
ing conditions such as extremely high
temperature areas or low temperature
areas like snow-covered roads. Accord-
ingly, you may hear light rattles from the
brake pad area when driving over a step,
which is not a malfunction. In addition,
you will hear creaks because of the
characteristics of the material for the disc
rotor. These creaks reduce with time and
wear.
Never park your vehicle for a long time
with the brake system wet.
The materials used for the brake disc
rotor and brake pads for specified NCCB
(NISSAN Carbon Ceramic Brake) are dif-
ferent from those used for the standard
brake system in GT-R. The rotor and pads
will be protected from adhesion caused
by rusting. However, never park your
vehicle for a long time with the brake
system wet. This helps maintain the brake
disc rotor and brake pads for a long time
and prevents an influence on the material
composition of the carbon ceramic rotor
and deterioration in the joint of brake disc
rotor’s full floating structure. Especially
during winter, be sure to park your vehicle
with the brake disc rotor and pads dry to
prevent them from being frozen and
damaged in below freezing temperature
conditions. The carbon ceramic brake forGT-R includes air bubbles in the rotor and
pads. Note that leaving them in the wet
condition tends to cause adhesion due to
freezing.
.
A screeching noise may be heard
when the brake pedal is depressed:
— When driving the vehicle for the first
time in the morning,
— After leaving the vehicle parked for extended periods of time, or
— When the vehicle is damp following rain showers or washing the vehi-
cle.
These sounds are normal. The noise is
caused when the brake pads absorb
moisture, and the noise stops after
the brake is applied several times.
. A screeching noise may also be heard
when the brake pedal is depressed:
— When repeatedly applying gentle
braking, especially on a curve at a
low speed, or
— When the brake rotors have circular scores with the brake temperature
high.
. The NCCB (NISSAN Carbon Ceramic
Brake) causes more screeching noise
in cold weather conditions than in
normal weather conditions.

accident.
. Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely fastened to the proper
buckle.
. Do not wear the seat belt inside
out or twisted. Doing so may
reduce its effectiveness.
. Do not allow more than one
person to use the same seat belt.
. Never carry more people in the
vehicle than there are seat belts.
. If the seat belt warning light
glows continuously while the
ignition is turned ON with all
doors closed and all seat belts
fastened, it may indicate a mal-
function in the system. It is re-
commended you have the system
checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
. No changes should be made to
the seat belt system. For exam-
ple, do not modify the seat belt,
add material, or install devices
that may change the seat belt
routing or tension. Doing so may
affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modifying or tam-
pering with the seat belt system
may result in serious personal injury.
. Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with
the retractor. It is recommended
you see a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
. Removal and installation of the
pretensioner system components
should be done by a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer.
. All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hard-
ware, should be inspected after
any collision by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recom-
mends that all seat belt assem-
blies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was
minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate
properly. Seat belt assemblies
not in use during a collision
should also be inspected and
replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
. All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected
after any collision. Always follow
the restraint manufacturer’s in- spection instructions and repla-
cement recommendations. The
child restraints should be re-
placed if they are damaged.
