brake light NISSAN GT-R 2022 Owner's Manual

operates to prevent one drive wheel from
slipping by transferring power to a non
slipping drive wheel. The VDC warning
light
will not flash. The VDC
system is automatically reset to on when
the ignition switch is placed in the off
position then back to the on position.
(
“Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light” page 2-34,
“Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) off indicator light”
page 2-33)
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.
may illuminate.
. If brake related parts such as
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
VDC warning light
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
on a snow covered road.
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

, 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
and let it run for a few minutes.
6. Keep the engine speed of the booster
In case of emergency

or the brake
warning light comes on, add Genuine
NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special II fluid (or
equivalent) up to the MAX line
. If fluid
must be added frequently, the system
should be checked. It is recommended
you contact a GT-R certified NISSAN deal-
er.

being uninstalled from the
wheels, use equipment such as a
leverless automatic tire changer.
It is only possible to reuse the
tires when they have no cracks
and/or deformations on the bead
portion. However, if you use a
lever-type tire changer, cracks
and deformation may occur on
the bead portion of the tires
meaning that the tires cannot be
reused.
. Make sure the tire valve stem cap
is installed and that the valve
stem is tight. When installing the
cap, make sure to tighten the cap
by hand. If a tool is used to
tighten the cap, the cap may be
damaged.
WARNING
.The use of tires other than those
specified or the mixed use of tires
of different brands, construction
(bias, bias-belted, radial or run-
flat), or tread patterns can ad-
versely affect the ride, braking,
VDC system, handling, ground
clearance, body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clearance, speed-
ometer calibration, headlight
aim and bumper height. Some of
these effects may lead to acci-
dents and could result in serious
personal injury.
. If the wheels are changed for any
reason, always replace with
wheels which have the same off-
set dimension. Wheels of a differ-
ent off-set could cause prema-
ture tire wear, degrade vehicle
handling characteristics, affect
the VDC system and/or cause
interference with the brake discs.
Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency
and/or early brake pad wear.
(
“Wheels and tires” page 10-
10)
. When a wheel is replaced, tire
pressure will not be indicated,
the TPMS will not function and
the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately
1 minute and remain on after the
1 minute. It is recommended you
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible for tire
replacement and/or system re-
setting. .
Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
. The TPMS sensor may be da-
maged if it is not handled cor-
rectly. Be careful when handling
the TPMS sensor.
. When replacing the TPMS sensor,
the ID registration may be re-
quired. Contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer for ID registration.
. Do not use a valve stem cap that
is not specified by NISSAN. The
valve stem cap may become
stuck.
. Be sure that the valve stem caps
are correctly fitted. Otherwise the
valve may be clogged up with dirt
and cause a malfunction or loss
of pressure.
. Do not install a damaged or
deformed wheel or tire even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels
or tires could have structural
damage and could fail without
warning.
. Never use retread tires.
. For additional information re-

of each nut lightly
contacts the seat part
of the wheel
hole.
When replacing a front wheel, make
sure the hole in the wheel is aligned
with the pin on the brake disc rotor.
8. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheel nuts alternately and evenly in
the sequence illustrated (
,
,
,
,
)
until they are tight.
9. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the ground. Then, with the
wheel nut wrench, tighten the wheel
nuts securely in the sequence as
illustrated. Lower the vehicle comple-
tely.
WARNING
If the road wheels are hot, allow
them to cool sufficiently before tigh-
tening the wheel nuts. Otherwise, the
wheel nuts cannot be tightened to
specification.
NOTE:.
As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.

NOTICE
.When the temperature of the
engine coolant and transmission
oil is high or low, the function
cannot be used. The temperature
range in which the R mode start
function can be used:
— Engine coolant: 140°F - 212°F
(60°C - 100°C)
— Transmission oil: 140°F - 266°F (60°C - 130°C)
. If the R mode start function is
used 4 times consecutively, the
function may be disabled and
cannot be turned on to protect
the vehicle system. While the function is disabled, the warning
light illuminates. When the warn-
ing light illuminates, perform cool
down driving. (
“Cool down”
page GTR-14) When the warning
light turns off, the function can be
used again.
. The performance of start may
vary depending on the amount
of wheel spin ,or increase and
decrease of the engine output in
response to the outside tempera-
ture. (This vehicle was set up
according to the road surface
conditions of the straight sec-
tions of the Sendai Highland Ra-
ceway course in Japan at 59°F
(15°C).)
. For safety reasons, VDC control
may activate automatically when
driving on a slippery road surface,
such as a wet road, in order to
apply the brakes or limit the
engine output.
. Frequent use of the R mode start
function increases the load on
the powertrain related parts such
as the clutch and transmission
compared to normal driving. In
particular, the clutch will wear out
