WARNING
.If stopping for an emergency, be
sure to move the vehicle well off
the road.
. Do not use the hazard warning
flashers while moving on the
highway unless unusual circum-
stances force you to drive so
slowly that your vehicle might
become a hazard to other traffic.
. Turn signals do not work when
the hazard warning flasher lights
are on. In the event of a roadside emergency,
Roadside Assistance Service is available
to you. Please refer to your Warranty
Information Booklet (U.S.) or Warranty &
Roadside Assistance Information Booklet
(Canada) for details.

, position the two vehicles (
and
) to bring their batteries into
close proximity to each other. Do not
allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply parking brake. Move the shift lever to the
position. Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (light,
heater, air conditioner, etc.).
3. Remove the battery cover. Cover the battery with a firmly wrung out moist
cloth to reduce explosion hazard.
4. Connect jumper cables in the se- quence as illustrated (

CAUTION
.Always connect positive (+) to
positive (+) and negative (−) to
body ground (as illustrated), not
to the battery.
. Make sure that the jumper cables
do not touch moving parts in the
engine compartment and that
clamps do not contact any other
metal.
5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle

position while the vehicle is mov-
ing forward and
or
toposition before the vehicle stops,
you may not be able 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.
CAUTION
. Because the vehicle includes a
dual clutch transmission that
automatically controls the clutch
and shifting operation of the
manual transmission, whenever
the shift lever is in a position
other than
or
, the vehicle will
begin to move slowly, in the same
way as when the clutch in a
manual transmission vehicle is
partially engaged. Keep the brake
pedal firmly depressed when the vehicle is stopped. In some cir-
cumstances the vehicle may not
start moving on its own, however
this does not indicate that there
is a malfunction.
NOTICE
.
To avoid possible damage to your
vehicle; when stopping the vehi-
cle on an uphill grade, do not hold
the vehicle in place by depressing
the accelerator pedal. Doing so
may cause the clutch to overheat
and result in transmission da-
mage. Use the brakes to prevent
the vehicle from moving.
. The GT-R dual clutch transmis-
sion is provided with a dry sump
lubrication system that improves
efficiency and ensures reliability
under high g-force conditions.
When oil viscosity is high at low
temperatures, it takes longer for
all components to be sufficiently
lubricated. Thus, when the trans-
mission temperature is low (ap-
proximately 104°F (40°C), do not
accelerate rapidly or run the en-
gine faster than 4,000 rpm.

Brake warning light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS

Parking brake indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light comes on when the
parking brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake
fluid level. If the light comes on while the
engine is running with the parking brake
not applied, stop the vehicle and perform
the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brakefluid as necessary. (
“Brake fluid”
page 8-11)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, it is recommended you have the warning
system checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and
the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both
the brake warning light and the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light illu-
minate, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. It is recommended
you have the brake system checked, and
if necessary repaired, by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer promptly. (
“Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light” page 2-29)
Brake pad wear warning indicator
(models with NCCB (NISSAN Carbon
Ceramic Brake) package):
When the brake warning light illuminates,
it may indicate that there is brake pad
wear. Have the brake system checked
and brake pads replaced as soon as
possible. It is recommended you contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for this
service.
WARNING
.
Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning
light is on. Driving could be dan-
gerous. If you judge it to be safe,
drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Other-
wise, have your vehicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your
stopping distance and braking
will require greater pedal effort
as well as pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the
brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
until the brake system has been
checked. It is recommended you
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly. Turn
the engine off and check the alternator
belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or
if the light remains on, it is recommended
you see a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
immediately.

may be safely used under
normal driving conditions. However, NISSAN recom-
mends refilling with nitrogen
gas for maximum tire perfor-
mance.
. If the warning light is still on after
the above operations, have your
vehicle checked as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended you have
the vehicle checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
or
Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light

position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. It is recommended you have the
system checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-
lock function is turned off. The brake
system then operates normally, but with-
out anti-lock assistance. (

4) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may
stop blinking and remain on.
It is recommended you have the
vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
NOTICE
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, re-
duced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control sys-
tem.
