Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information” (Cana-
da) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
. Always use tires of the specified
type, size, brand, construction
(bias, bias-belted, radial or run-
flat), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Failure to do so may
result in a circumference differ-
ence between tires on the front
and rear axles which will cause
excessive tire wear and may da-
mage the transmission, transfer
case and differential gears.
Wheel balanceUnbalanced wheels may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Even with regular
use, wheels can get out of balance.
Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the rear wheels on the
vehicle could lead to mechanical damage.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.

JACKING VEHICLE AND REMOVING
WHEELS
WARNING
.
Make sure the parking brake is
securely applied and the trans-
mission is shifted into the
position.
. Never change tires when the ve-
hicle is on a slope, ice or slippery
areas. This is hazardous.
. Never change tires if oncoming
traffic is close to your vehicle.
Wait for professional road assis-
tance.
Blocking wheelsPlace suitable blocks
at both the front
and back of the wheel diagonally oppo-
site the flat tire to prevent the vehicle
from moving when it is jacked up.

CAUTION
After using the tools, put them back
in their original places. An accident
may occur if you leave them in the
car unsecured.Jacking up the vehicle and re-
moving the tire
WARNING
.Never get under the vehicle while
it is supported only by the jack. If
it is necessary to work under the
vehicle, support it with safety
stands.
. Use the correct jack-up points.
Never use any other part of the
vehicle for jack support.
. Never jack up the vehicle more
than necessary.
. Never use blocks on or under the
jack.
. Do not start or run the engine
while vehicle is on the jack, as it
may cause the vehicle to move.
This is especially true for vehicles with limited slip differentials.
. Do not allow passengers to stay
in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.
Carefully read the caution label at-
tached to the jack body and the follow-
ing instructions.

position.
. 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.

BRAKE SYSTEM INFORMATION
Cracks on brake padThe friction material of the GT-R disc
brake pad is bonded to the pad backing
plate more strongly than conventional
brake pads to withstand the high brake
temperatures. The friction material and
backing plate expand due to heat at
different rates. Some cracks may be on
the surface of the friction material due to
the differences in expansion rates and the
strong bond between the friction material
and backing plate. The cracks do not
indicate the brake pads need to be
replaced. However, depending on the
condition of the cracks, the pads may
need to be replaced. It is recommended
you contact a GT-R certified NISSAN deal-
er.
. This is due to the temperature
differential that occurs because the sur-
faces of the disc rotors become hot while
the inside of the rotor is still cold. How-
ever, this poses no problem in terms of
brake performance, and does not indicate
a malfunction. The brakes do not need to

to shift gear or it may take longer to shift gear. Make sure to depress the brake pedal and check that the vehicle has
stopped before shifting.

.
When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in the
orposition. Move the shift lever after turning off the system check
display. Also, it is normal to hear clicking noises during the transmission systems check.
Changing modes
.
The higher shift speeds in the
position may result in shift shock and jerkiness when starting or shifting.
.
The quickest shifting in the R mode with the transmission in the
position is available when the engine speed is high.
However, the transmission may shift more slowly when the engine speed is low.
Mechanical Limited Slip
Differential (LSD) If the vehicle accelerates from a stop with the steering wheel turned half a turn in cold temperatures, the inner wheel tire
may slip and some noise or vibration may be heard. This phenomenon occurs because the viscosity of the differential oil
becomes thicker and the Limited Slip Differential (LSD) operates with increasing load. When the steering wheel is returned
to the straight ahead position or the differential oil warms up, the noise and vibration decrease.
