Changing to the
position:
To change to theposition from the
position, either move the shift lever to theside or operate the paddle shifter. The
position indicator indicates the gear posi-
tion with the indication of “M”.
If the paddle shifter is used, in one
operation the
position changes to the
position and the gear position shifts
(except for downshifting from 2nd gear to
1st gear). For the downshift operation
from the 2nd gear to the 1st gear, the
first paddle shifter operation changes theposition to the
position, and the
second operation changes the gear posi-
tion.
To return to the
position, either move
the shift lever to the
side again or pull
the right side (up sift side) paddle shifter
for approximately 2 seconds. The position
indicator indicates the gear position with
the indication of “A”.

The shift lever cannot be moved out of
the
position and into any other position
with the ignition switch other in the LOCK,
OFF or ACC position.
When accelerating from a stopKeep the foot brake pedal depressed and
push the shift lever button to shift into a
driving gear as following:
Starting and driving

.To drive forward, move the shift lever
to the
position.
Starting on level ground or an uphill:
1. Check the shift lever position indicator on the meter to confirm that the
driving gear is selected.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Release the foot brake pedal gradu- ally, then slowly depress the accelera-
tor pedal to start the vehicle in
motion.
(“R mode start function” page 5-33)
NOTE:
. To prevent the clutch from over-
heating when the parking brake is
applied, engine output is limited
when the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed. In particular, the vehicle
may not start smoothly when the
accelerator pedal is depressed with
the parking brake applied on an
uphill grade. To enable smooth
starting, release the parking brake
before moving the vehicle.
. The hill start assist system operates
when the vehicle is accelerating
from a stop on an uphill. (

Start Assist System” page 5-39)
When driving the vehicle
WARNING
Do not move the shift lever to theposition while driving. Doing so may
result in an accident due to loss of
engine braking. It may also damage
the transmission.
Normal driving:
Drive with the shift lever in the
position.
The appropriate gear will be automati-
cally shifted according to the position of
the accelerator pedal, the driving speed
and driving conditions.

position. This automatically shifts the
transmission into a lower gear and
maintains this position depending on
the gradient of the hill.
. The system may down shift according
to the accelerator pedal position and
the vehicle speed.
. If the transmission is frequently chan-
ging gears while driving, switch to theposition and select the appropriate
gear for the driving conditions.

trol system will stay in a low gear
in order to maintain the effective-
ness of the engine brake. How-
ever if the vehicle is traveling too
fast depending on the degree of
the slope, you should shift to the
position and use the paddle
shifter to shift down. If you con-
tinue to use only the foot brake, a
high load will be applied to the
brake, which may overheat, redu-
cing its effectiveness. Be sure to
use the engine brake together
with the foot brake.

When parking the vehicle

and stop the engine. If the engine is
running and the shift lever is not in
the
position, the vehicle may start
moving due to partial engagement
of the clutch or to the effects of
gravity on a slope, or the vehicle may
suddenly accelerate due to acciden-
tal operation of the accelerator ped-
al, possibly causing an accident.

WARNING
Follow the instructions below when
parking the vehicle to help prevent
the brake rotor and brake pads from
rusting together. Failure to follow
the instructions could cause the
rotor and pads to rust together. If
the rotor and pads rust together,
there may be a popping noise and
some vibration when the vehicle is
driven, a wheel may not roll correctly, or the brake pads could be damaged.
If the pads are damaged, this may
reduce the effectiveness of the brake
system which could cause a collision,
serious personal injury or death.
The GT-R uses brake pad materials that
have high metallic content. The brake pad
material helps maintain braking perfor-
mance in a wide range of weather and
driving conditions.
For the first 3,000 miles (5,000 km) of the
vehicle’s service life, and for the first 3,000
miles (5,000km) after a brake replace-
ment, the brake pad to brake rotor
clearance is very small. When parking,
apply the parking brake and move the
shift lever to the
position is selected.
5. Push the ignition switch to stop the engine.

Ceramic Brake) package:
