. Spare fuses are stored in
the passenger compartment fuse box.
6. If a new fuse also opens, have the electrical system checked and re-
paired. It is recommended you contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Fusible linksIf any electrical equipment does not
operate and fuses are in good condition,
check the fusible links. If any of these
fusible links are melted, replace only with
genuine NISSAN parts.
WARNING
Never use a fuse of a higher or lower
amperage rating than that specified
on the fuse box cover. This could
damage the electrical system or
electronic control units or cause a
fire.
If any electrical equipment does not
operate, check for an open fuse.

WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on
any seat and do not allow a child in
the cargo areas while the vehicle is
moving. The child could be seriously
injured or killed in an accident or
sudden stop.
Safety

.To drive forward, move the shift lever
to the
position.
Starting on level ground or an uphill:
1. Check the shift lever position indicator on the meter to confirm that the
driving gear is selected.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Release the foot brake pedal gradu- ally, then slowly depress the accelera-
tor pedal to start the vehicle in
motion.
(“R mode start function” page 5-33)
NOTE:
. To prevent the clutch from over-
heating when the parking brake is
applied, engine output is limited
when the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed. In particular, the vehicle
may not start smoothly when the
accelerator pedal is depressed with
the parking brake applied on an
uphill grade. To enable smooth
starting, release the parking brake
before moving the vehicle.
. The hill start assist system operates
when the vehicle is accelerating
from a stop on an uphill. (
“Hill
Start Assist System” page 5-39)
When driving the vehicle
WARNING
Do not move the shift lever to theposition while driving. Doing so may
result in an accident due to loss of
engine braking. It may also damage
the transmission.
Normal driving:
Drive with the shift lever in the
position.
The appropriate gear will be automati-
cally shifted according to the position of
the accelerator pedal, the driving speed
and driving conditions.
Passing:
.
position. This automatically shifts the
transmission into a lower gear and
maintains this position depending on
the gradient of the hill.
. The system may down shift according
to the accelerator pedal position and
the vehicle speed.
. If the transmission is frequently chan-
ging gears while driving, switch to theposition and select the appropriate
gear for the driving conditions.
Driving on a downhill:
.position and 4th or 3rd gear will
provide gentle engine braking.
When driving on a steep downhill, select-
ing the
position and 2nd or 1st gear will
provide powerful engine braking.

When parking the vehicle
position
and stop the engine. If the engine is
running and the shift lever is not in
the
position, the vehicle may start
moving due to partial engagement
of the clutch or to the effects of
gravity on a slope, or the vehicle may
suddenly accelerate due to acciden-
tal operation of the accelerator ped-
al, possibly causing an accident.
For models without NCCB (NISSAN Car-
bon Ceramic Brake) package:
WARNING
Follow the instructions below when
parking the vehicle to help prevent
the brake rotor and brake pads from
rusting together. Failure to follow
the instructions 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
reduce the effectiveness of the brake
system which could cause a collision,
serious personal injury or death.
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 miles (5,000 km) of the
vehicle’s service life, and for the first 3,000
miles (5,000km) after a brake replace-
ment, the brake pad to brake rotor
clearance is very small. When parking,
apply the parking brake and move the
shift lever to the
position is selected.
5. Push the ignition switch to stop the engine.
For models with NCCB (NISSAN Carbon
Ceramic Brake) package:

Brake)” page 8-20)

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
VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) SYSTEM

Cool downThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help extend the
life of the vehicle if coolant temperatures
are extremely high. Drive the vehicle at 37
to 50 MPH (60 to 80 km/h), in 5th or 6th
gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to 5 km) and then
stop the engine.Refueling precautions
WARNING
Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly a
fire. The fuel tank is full at the first
automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the
fuel tank is located as low as possible to
lower the vehicle center of gravity. The
tank is also divided into two parts. This
fuel tank design causes higher pressures
inside the tank than other vehicles so fuel
spillage is possible by trying to top off the fuel tank after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the
vehicle is hot, especially if the tank is more
than half full. If the cap is opened when
the vehicle is hot, it may cause fuel spray
and there may be a hissing noise. Open
the cap slowly, releasing the pressure
from the tank gradually. Also, if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is
hot, the fuel pump may automatically
shut off before the tank is full. This does
not indicate that there is a malfunction.
Refuel slowly or refuel after the vehicle
has cooled.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE DRIVINGThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.Fluids.
Check the engine, transmission, differ-
ential and under vehicle surfaces for
oil and coolant leaks.
. Check the fluid levels and adjust as
necessary using the specified fluid as
described under the conditions listed
in this section.(
“Recommended
fluids and maintenance interval” page GTR-20) If you do not drive under the
conditions listed, refer to the “9. Main-
tenance and schedules” section of this
manual.
