position. Failure
to do so could cause the vehicle
to move unexpectedly or roll
away and result in an accident.
. Make sure the shift lever has
been pushed as far forward as it
can go and cannot be moved
without depressing the foot
brake pedal.
. Follow the instructions below
when parking the vehicle to help
prevent the brake rotor and
brake pads from rusting to-
gether. Failure to follow the in-
structions 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 re-
duce the effectiveness of the
brake system which could cause
a collision, serious personal injury
or death. (for models without

Brake) package)

3. To help prevent the vehicle from roll- ing into the street when parked on a
sloping drive way, it is a good practice
to turn the wheels as illustrated.
.
HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB:Turn the wheels into the curb and
move the vehicle forward until the
curb side wheel gently touches the
curb.
.
HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB:Turn the wheels away from the
curb and move the vehicle back
until the curb side wheel gently
touches the curb.
.
HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO
CURB:Turn the wheels toward the side of
the road so the vehicle will move
away from the center of the road if
it moves.
4. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
For models without NCCB (NISSAN Car-
bon Ceramic Brake) package:
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 - 6,000 miles (5,000 -
10,000 km) of the vehicle’s service life, and
for the first 3,000 - 6,000 miles (5,000 -
10,000 km) after a brake replacement, the
brake pad to brake rotor clearance is very
small. When parking, apply the parking
brake and move the shift lever to the
position. Idle the engine for more than 20
seconds without depressing the brake
pedal. This allows the brake pads to move
away from the rotor so the pad does not
contact the rotor.
Additionally, the brakes must be dry
before parking the vehicle after driving
on wet roads or after washing the vehicle.
If the roads are wet, lightly apply the
brakes for a short distance before parking
the vehicle to dry the brakes. After wash-
ing the vehicle, dry the brakes by driving
on a dry road for a few miles and apply
the brakes normally based on traffic and
road conditions.
The metallic brake pads and brake disc
rotor may rust together when the brakes
are not applied:
.
If the vehicle is not idled for 20
seconds without the brakes applied,
or if the brakes are applied when the
vehicle is shut off, the rotor and pads
can rust together, even when the brake pads are dry.
. If the brakes are wet when the vehicle
is parked and the parking brake is
applied for a long time.
It is recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer if the brake pads
and brake rotor have rusted together.

CAUTION
.Keep the interior of the vehicle as
quiet as possible to hear the tone
clearly. Excessive noise (such as
audio system volume or an open
vehicle window) will interfere
with the tone and it may not be
heard.
. Keep the sonar (located on the
bumper fascia) free from snow,
ice and large accumulations of
dirt (do not clean the sonar with
sharp objects). If the sonar is
covered, it will affect the accuracy
of the sonar system.
. The sonar system may not oper-
ate correctly if a license plate
cover is installed.
The sonar system sounds a tone to warn
the driver of obstacles near the bumper.
The sonar indicator will also appear in the
touch screen display. (
“Sonar indica-
tor” page 5-49.) The system detects front
obstacles when the shift lever is in the
position or
position and both front and

position.
The system may not detect objects at
speeds above 6 MPH (10 km/h) and may
not detect certain angular or moving
objects.
Refer to the illustration for approximate
zone coverage areas. As you move closer
to the obstacle, the rate of the tone
increases. When you move even closer
to the obstacle, the tone will sound
continuously.
The sensitivity level of the sonar can be
adjusted (higher or lower) in the sonar
setting display. (

SONAR SYSTEM OFF SWITCHThe sonar system OFF switch on the
lower side of the instrument panel allows
the driver to turn the sonar system on
and off. To turn the sonar system on and
off, the ignition switch must be in the ON
position. The indicator light
on the
switch will turn off when the system is
turned off. If the indicator light flashes it
may indicate a malfunction in the sonar
system.
The sonar system will turn on automati-
cally under the following conditions.
. When the shift lever is placed in the
position. .
When vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 6 MPH (10 km/h).
. When the ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position and turned back to
the ON position again.

WARNING
Using the systemDepress the brake pedal and hold it down.
Depress the brake pedal with firm steady
pressure, but do not pump the brakes.
The ABS will operate to prevent the
wheels from locking up. Steer the vehicle
to avoid obstacles.

The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) sys-
tem uses various sensors to monitor
driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under
certain driving conditions, the VDC sys-
tem helps to perform the following func-
tions.
.Controls brake pressure to reduce
wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel
so power is transferred to a non
slipping drive wheel on the same axle.
. Controls brake pressure and engine
output to reduce drive wheel slip
based on vehicle speed (traction con-
trol function).
. Controls brake pressure at individual
wheels and engine output to help the
driver maintain control of the vehicle
in the following conditions:
— understeer (vehicle tends to not
follow the steered path despite
increased steering input)
— oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to certain road or driving condi-
tions).
The VDC system can help the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle, but it
cannot prevent loss of vehicle control in
all driving situations.
When the VDC system operates, the VDC
warning light
in the meter flashes so note the following:
.
The road may be slippery or the
system may determine some action
is required to help keep the vehicle on
the steered path.
. You may feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal and hear a noise or vibration
from under the hood. This is normal
and indicates that the VDC system is
working properly.
. Adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
. The VDC mode can be changed using
the VDC setup switch. (

transmission and suspension setup
switches” page 5-25)
(
“Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light” page 2-34,
“Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) off indicator light”
page 2-33)
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
VDC warning light
illuminates in the
meter. The VDC system automatically
turns off.
The VDC setup switch is used to turn off
the VDC system. The VDC off indicator
illuminates to indicate the VDC sys-
tem is off.
When the VDC setup switch is used to
turn off the system, the VDC system still

. Transmission oil temperature is 284°F
(140°C) or higher:
If the transmission oil temperature
increases to over 284°F (140°C), the
color of the meter display changes to
red. However, the vehicle can continue
to be driven until the temperature
reaches 295°F (146°C). If the oil tem-
perature exceeds 284°F (140°C) while
driving (the color of the meter dis-
played in red), change both the trans-
mission oil and the differential oil after
driving because these fluids have
deteriorated because of the heat.
