WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

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.

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)

System (ABS) is not functioning properly.

NOTE:
If the vehicle is driven in a way which
causes the rear wheels to slip, the AWD
clutch temperature will increase and
the warning indicator may flash. Con-
tinuing to drive in way that causes the
warning light to flash may cause the
clutch to reach excessive temperatures

These noises do not indicate that there is
a malfunction.

or
or
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.

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

and release it. (The SET indicator will
illuminate in the meter.) Take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. Your
vehicle will maintain the set speed.
NOTE:
If the vehicle speed reaches approxi-
mately 3 MPH (5 km/h) over the set

information display blinks.Passing another vehicleTo pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the pre- viously set speed.
Increasing the set vehicle speedTo reset at a faster cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
.
Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET/COAST
switch.
. Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELER-
ATE switch. When the vehicle attains
the speed you desire, release the

time you do this, the set speed will
increase by about 1 MPH or 1 km/h.Decreasing the set vehicle speedTo reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
.Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET/COAST
