warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is pushed to ON. It turns
off soon after the engine is started.
If the AWD system malfunctions, the
warning light will either remain illumi-
nated or blink. (
“All-Wheel Drive
(AWD)” page 5-42)
“Tire and loading infor-
mation label” page 10-14)
If the tire pressure is insuffi-
cient, fill with nitrogen gas. It
is recommended you contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
about filling with nitrogen
gas. If nitrogen gas is not
available, compressed air
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
When the ignition switch is in the ON
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. (

tem” page 5-52)

WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light
The light will blink when the VDC system
or the traction control system is operat-
ing, thus alerting the driver that the
vehicle is nearing its traction limits. The
road surface may be slippery.
If the VDC warning light illuminates when
the VDC system is turned on, this light
alerts the driver to the fact that the VDC
system’s fail-safe mode is operating, for
example the VDC or hill start assist
system may not be functioning properly.
It is recommended you have the system
checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN deal-
er. If a malfunction occurs in the system,
the VDC system function will be canceled
but the vehicle is still driveable.

tem” page 5-54)

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.

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
