sive compounds or other high performance

engine oils may cause internal engine damage.

Engine oil maintenance GUID-7CDFA496-5639-4F1E-8F03-08DB5D2863B9

. When the vehicle is delivered, the engine oil

level is 0.39 in (10 mm) below the H mark on

the engine oil dipstick for optimum high

performance driving. The engine oil can be

filled up to the H mark if not engaging in

performance driving.

. Because of the high performance character-

istics of the GT-R engine, more frequent oil

level inspections are necessary. Check the

oil level every 1,800 miles (3,000 km) and

adjust as necessary. Also, change the

engine oil based on the driving conditions.

For the information regarding oil replace-

ment intervals, refer to the 2017 NISSAN

GT-R Service and Maintenance Guide.

. Some amount of oil is consumed by your

engine under normal operating conditions,

and oil consumption by itself does not

necessarily indicate any malfunction. If your

rate of oil consumption increases suddenly

or without explanation, NISSAN recom-

mends that you have your vehicle inspected

by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

. For information about the oil replacement

intervals for performance driving, refer to the

interval for replacing oil after high perfor-

mance driving. ( Additional mainte-

nance items page GTR-12)

Make sure to replace the oil filter when the

engine oil is changed.

TRANSMISSION OIL GUID-33530AE7-DE21-4F44-BDD8-78982F22D846

Genuine NISSAN Transmission Oil R35

Special (100% synthetic oil)

The GT-R uses a multiple-disc dual wet clutch

transmission. The specially developed transmis-

sion oil maximizes the friction characteristics of

the clutch and the lubrication of the gear

bearings.

The use of additives is not recommended.

The use of additives or other transmission oil

may cause internal transmission or clutch

damage.

DIFFERENTIAL OIL (front and rear) GUID-02DD11D6-4B01-4B02-9F92-7324C1E986B1

Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type

2189E

Use Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type

2189E or equivalent that can keep the oil

temperature low in order to protect all parts of

the differential and maximize the performance of

the Limited Slip Differential (LSD).

The use of additives is not recommended.

Using additives or any other than the specified

differential oil may cause the oil temperature to

increase and the final drive to be damaged. Also

it may cause vibration and adversely the vehicle

handling characteristics.

BRAKE FLUID GUID-80CC3CF4-48F5-411D-9F49-53C93F4A64F4

Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special

II

Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special II is

TIRES AND ROAD WHEELS GUID-AE89B207-0183-4108-BA70-ACA595E17E48

Tires GUID-833C4A52-FAA4-4966-9FF7-1AFCA79765BA

The GT-R uses specially designed run-flat tires

and matching road wheels. Use of these

specially developed tires and wheels provides

the greatest potential for maximum performance.

. Using non-genuine GT-R tires may cause

powertrain system damage if the vehicle is

driven in a flat tire situation, even if run-flat

tires are used. This may also prevent the

vehicle from being stopped safely.

. Using non-genuine GT-R tires may also

cause tire failure due to excessive heat

buildup caused by tire distortion while

driving.

. Using non-genuine GT-R tires may affect the

operation of the VDC system.

Tire replacement: GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9

. When tire replacement is required, replacing

tires as a set of four with new tires is

recommended. However, if a tire is punctu-

red or damaged, it may be possible to

replace only the damaged tire. Determining

whether one tire or a complete set of tires

should be replaced is based on a number of

factors including tire wear and condition.

Contact your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

They can recommend if an individual tire or a

complete set should be replaced.

. The GT-R uses specially designed run-flat

tires which have a rigid side wall. Special

equipment and procedures are required

when replacing these tires. NISSAN recom-

mends that tire replacement be performed at

a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

. Specific tire changing equipment must be

used to remove the GT-R tires from the

wheel and to install the GT-R tires onto the

wheel. It is only possible to reuse the tires

when they have no cracks and/or deforma-

tions on the bead portion of the tire. If the

incorrect equipment is used to remove the

GT-R tires from the wheel and to install the

GT-R tires onto the wheel, cracks and

deformation may occur on the bead portion

of the tires meaning that the tires cannot be

reused. Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer if the tires need to be removed from

the wheels.

. When reusing tires, it is recommended you

contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

Road wheels GUID-26621B4F-F1B4-4D33-B4DA-52FC5AF70F6B

Using non-genuine GT-R wheels may cause the

following:

. vehicle vibration

. the tire coming loose from the wheel during

a flat tire

. reduced wheel lug nut tightness

BRAKE PAD AND DISC ROTOR GUID-A43FA529-3EE0-40C1-8C7E-F6364A4F99E9

This vehicle is equipped with cross-drilled

floating rotors and radial-mounted six-piston

monoblock calipers. This helps to achieve

excellent stopping performance and fade-resis-

tance.

Using non-genuine GT-R brake pads or rotors

can affect vehicle braking performance and the

operation of the ABS and VDC system.

Replacement of brake pads and disc

rotors GUID-FD4E789E-E241-441D-844F-0CD7945717EB

NISSAN generally recommends to replace all

four sets of brake pads and disc rotors at the

same time to maintain maximum brake perfor-

mance.

However, replacing only the brake pads may be

allowed in some cases (four wheels or only front

wheels depending on the conditions). A GT-R

GTR-6 GT-R Overview

certified technician must inspect the vehicle and

determine that only the brake pads need to be

replaced. In this case, replacing all brake pads

and disc rotors as a set is not necessary.

Note that the replacement of brake pads and the

disc rotors as a set on all four wheels should be

performed when a GT-R certified technician

determines that this is the correct repair.

If the inside of the disc rotors are cold during the

winter and the surface becomes hot due to a

heavy force being applied repeatedly to the

brakes, cracks may occur near the coolant hole

on the surface of the disc rotor. Cracks may also

occur due to a heavy force being repeatedly

applied to the brakes during high performance

driving. In these cases it may be necessary to

replace the disc rotors or brake pads depending

on the condition of the crack. Contact a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer for replacement.

EXHAUST MUFFLER AND TRUNK

CARPET GUID-1B39712B-DA1F-4D3B-8E15-D5736CDB9A92

The GT-R exhaust system is designed to provide

the maximum vehicle performance and to

protect the vehicle from high exhaust gas

temperatures.

If non-genuine GT-R exhaust system parts are

used it is possible that the muffler or other

exhaust system parts will deform and cause

damage to the underbody. Non-genuine GT-R

exhaust system parts can also affect vehicle

performance and possibly lead to turbocharger,

engine or power train related parts including

transmission, damage.

Also, do not remove the trunk carpet from the

vehicle for any reason. The carpet insulates the

vehicle interior from the heat of the muffler and

from the noise of the transmission.

TITANIUM MUFFLER AND TRUNK

CARPET (if so equipped) GUID-EF38B38B-3ECD-4D0A-82F0-C813AA77D0B1

If a non-genuine titanium muffler is used, the

muffler may become deformed and damage the

underbody due to the high performance engine

reaching high exhaust gas temperatures

(1,8328F (1,0008C) or more). The highest-class

titanium alloy is used for genuine parts to ensure

the resistance strength and creeping character-

istics against high exhaust gas temperature. In

addition, further cooling effects are secured by

taking in air through the duct on the undercover,

to cool the area around the muffler, and by

applying partial plate thickness reduction. Since

genuine titanium mufflers are made of titanium

alloy, the surface color will change depending on

the driving conditions, which is not unusual.

Prior to shipping from factory, all vehicles

receive balance aligning for engine, transmis-

sion, and clutch, as well as quench driving of

brake pads and rotors. As a result, the muffler

surface color may differ depending on the

vehicle.

Never remove the trunk carpet from the vehicle

for any reason. The carpet insulates the vehicle

interior from the heat of the muffler and from the

noise of the transmission.

Never Allow Oil or Grease to Adhere to the

Titanium Muffler.

If the muffler is heated when oil or grease adhere

to the muffler surface, the color of this area will

be different from that of the surrounding area. To

remove the oil or grease, check that the surface

temperature of the muffler has cooled, wash the

area with a neutral detergent, wipe it with a

brake cleaner-sprayed clean shop cloth and

gently tap it with a dry shop cloth to dry. Be

careful not to allow the brake cleaner to splatter

on rubber parts, bumper, etc.

DRY CARBON FIBER PARTS (if so

equipped) GUID-A5D66EC9-0E37-4FF9-8085-2F65570AF800

Because of the characteristics of the material,

the dry carbon fiber parts may turn yellow due to

exposure to ultraviolet rays. The surfaces of dry

carbon fiber parts are coated with a special

ultraviolet protection paint. To maintain the

appearance of these parts, it is important to

take proper care of them.

NOTICE

. Do not use compound agents on

clear-coated dry carbon fiber parts

(such as the NISMO models bum-

per, side sill protector, rear spoiler,

etc.).

. Do not use any chemical agents

(wax, coating agent, compound

agent, etc.) on matte-painted dry

carbon fiber parts (such as the rear

diffuser, a rear spoiler that is of

specifications other than NISMO,

etc.).

. When dry carbon fiber parts become

dirty, prepare a dilute cleaning solu-

tion by mixing one capful of mild

detergent in a bucket of water, and

use that mixture to clean the parts.

SUMMER TIRES GUID-95CE2054-E324-42E2-8080-D3A2CDC73B95

The GT-R summer tires are made from a

specially formulated rubber to maximize the

vehicles performance capabilities. Performance

of summer tires is substantially reduced when

temperatures are less than 328F (08C) so you

must drive carefully. NISSAN recommends the

use of winter or all-season tires on all four

wheels if you plan to operate your vehicle in

snowy or icy conditions when temperatures are

less than 328F (08C).

WARNING

Never use summer tires when the

temperature is below 48F (208C) to

prevent permanent tread deformation

which may cause tire damage or tire

failure. This may cause a loss of vehicle

control which can result in serious

personal injury or death.

ALL-SEASON TIRES GUID-B866F365-4B6E-4B06-B252-3BF090B33951

PRECAUTIONS ON PERFORMANCE

DRIVING GUID-7DBB6523-C5E9-4BBD-8F8A-9C93D55CF703

The information and specifications in this

section apply only when engaging in

performance driving.

Checking the temperature of the

coolant and oils on the touch screen

display GUID-640404D6-C0C4-41B2-903F-7D5E41AC45D1

When the temperatures of the engine coolant

and oil, and the oil pressure exceed the normal

range, the color of the multi function meter on

the touch screen display changes to red to warn

the driver. When engaging in high performance

driving, switch the display to the multi function

meter to display the temperature of the engine

coolant and oil, and the oil pressure. When the

color of the meter display changes to red,

perform cool down driving. When the values of

the temperature and pressure return to the

normal range, the color of the multi function

meter will turn back to white.

Warning temperature:

. Engine coolant temperature is 2308F

(1108C) or higher:

If the engine coolant temperature increases

above 2308F (1108C), the color of the multi

function meter on the touch screen display

changes to red to warn of a possible

overheat condition and engine output is

reduced.

. Engine oil temperature is 2758F (1358C) or

higher:

If the engine oil temperature is higher than

2758F (1358C), the meter display changes

to red, maximum engine speed is automati-

cally limited to 4,000 rpm, and the transmis-

sion automatically changes from the &M position to the &A position.

. Transmission oil temperature is 2848F

(1408C) or higher:

If the transmission oil temperature increases

to over 2848F (1408C), the color of the

meter display changes to red. However, the

vehicle can continue to be driven until the

temperature reaches 2958F (1468C). If the

oil temperature exceeds 2848F (1408C)

while driving (the color of the meter dis-

played in red), change both the transmission

oil and the differential oil after driving

because these fluids have deteriorated

because of the heat.

Cool down GUID-F2CE90E5-E743-4E6E-9A1E-040505B03B2A

The information and specifications in this

section apply only when engaging in

performance driving.

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS

(21,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

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 GUID-6FAF478E-E778-45E1-88B2-3821289F5A5F

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.

Check the coolant level in the pressurized

coolant reservoir. Adjust the level so that the

fluid is between the MAX and MIN markings. For

the coolant, use genuine NISSAN Long Life

coolant. (On delivery of new vehicle, the

reservoir is filled to the MIN level. Be sure to

replenish approximately 3/8 US quart (0.3 to 0.4

liter) of coolant.)

NOTICE

Do not overfill the coolant. This may

increase the pressure in the cooling

system and cause coolant leaks.

To maximize vehicle performance, the coolant

mixture ratio should be a combination of 30%

coolant antifreeze and 70% demineralized or

distilled water for maximum cooling system

performance regardless of ambient tempera-

tures.

If ambient temperatures are anticipated below

58F (158C), make sure a proper mixture ratio of

50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or

distilled water mix is used.

performance driving.

. Check the engine, transmission, differential

and under the vehicle for oil and coolant

leaks.

. Inspect the areas surrounding of the cata-

lytic converter for heat deterioration.

. Always perform the transmission setting.

After that, adjust the clutch clearance so

that the clearance is less than the clearance

used for daily driving. Your GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer has the necessary informa-

tion and equipment to set the clutch

clearance to the correct specification. The

clearance used for daily driving increases

clutch heat generated during Performance

Driving. This leads to an increase in tem-

perature of the transmission oil. In addition, a

more direct shifting feel can be obtained by

reducing the clutch clearance for Perfor-

mance Driving. The clutch clearance should

be reset to the daily driving specification

after Performance Driving. It is recom-

mended you see a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer for information.

NOTICE

Failure to have the clutch properly

adjusted before performance driving

may cause the transmission oil tem-

perature to increase which may cause

transmission damage.

. Inspect and confirm the clearance between

the exhaust finisher and rear bumper is more

than 0.24 in (6 mm) (up/down) and more

than 0.20 in (5 mm) (left/right).

. Inspect the dust boot of the drive shaft

. Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.

. Make sure to replace the grommet seal, the

valve core and the valve cap of the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor

attached to the wheel every 3 years for

performance driving use. Replace them

every 5 years even when not engaging in

performance driving. A dirty grommet seal

will cause the air leak from the tire.

. Make sure that the nuts and valves that are

attached to the TPMS sensor are tight and

there is no nitrogen leak.

. Use only a NISSAN genuine valve cap or

equivalent.

. Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel

REFUELING PRECAUTIONS GUID-B30F7182-F54D-4636-B6F0-BE4454974C1A

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.

GASOLINE SMELL GUID-C4342B46-9E75-40FD-9A7E-8B889C6F3C49

The fuel temperature is higher when the vehicle

is hot. This may cause a gasoline smell from the

vehicle. This does not indicate that there is a

malfunction. The smell will go away when the

fuel temperature has cooled.

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY

INDICATES HIGHER TEMPERATURE GUID-F95A7E17-06A2-4ED7-B463-A156390578EB

Heat from the engine compartment, radiator and

intercoolers can affect the outside temperature

display. The outside temperature display may

indicate a higher than actual temperature while

driving or stopped. This is normal.

IDLE SPEED IS NOT STEADY GUID-7097ABDE-3830-4D7D-A455-813F21F63D62

The idle speed may not be steady when the

engine compartment is extremely hot. This is

normal. The engine speed will be steady when

the engine cools down.

In this case, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

may come on. After a few driving trips, the MIL

should turn off. If the light remains on after a few

driving trips, it is recommended you have the

vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer.

ENGINE SPEED IS RESTRICTED GUID-587FD63C-797C-46FE-8FC5-922D6B690C2F

To help protect the engine, the maximum engine

speed is automatically controlled in the following

conditions:

. Revving the engine with the shift lever in the

&P or &N position: The maximum engine

speed is 4,300 RPM

. Revving the engine when the engine oil is at

a low (below 328F (08C)) or extremely high

(over 2758F (1358C)) temperature: The

maximum engine speed is 4,000 RPM (The

&M position will automatically change to the

&A position.)

High altitude GUID-445B3E98-7529-4F53-8B24-429570722800

To protect the engine, engine output is con-

trolled so that it does not increase at altitude of

approximately 3,281 ft (1,000 m) or higher.

Engine output according to the

coolant temperature GUID-3F169CBB-5E6D-4B26-8539-DAAEBB0E590E

The engine output is controlled at a low level

when the engine coolant temperature is lower

than approximately 1588F (708C) or higher than

2308F (1108C). This is not a malfunction.

UNEVEN WEAR OF TIRES GUID-59A07A50-5E03-47E7-8FC7-CEFC9932C699

The GT-R is equipped with high performance,

low profile, run-flat tires that are optimized for

performance and handling. The life of these tires

will be less than those of tires installed on a

typical vehicle, and you are likely to experience

uneven tire wear and tire noise regardless of the

type of tire used.

NOISES ARE HEARD WHILE DRIV-

ING GUID-0FCF3045-9BA4-4C8F-B6C6-7E56184A22F9

. The GT-R brake pads use material that

provides a high amount of braking power

even in high temperatures. This material can

cause an intermittent screeching noise just

before the vehicle comes to a stop when the

brakes are gently applied. The noise de-

creases as the brake pads wear. However,

the additional brake pad break-in or repla-

cing the cross spring may decrease the

noise. It is recommended you contact a

GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

. A screeching noise may be heard when the

brake pedal is depressed:

When driving the vehicle for the first time

in the morning,

After leaving the vehicle parked for

extended periods of time, or

When the vehicle is damp following rain

showers or washing the vehicle.

These sounds are normal. The noise is

caused when the brake pads absorb moist-

ure, and the noise stops after the brake is

applied several times.

. A screeching noise may also be heard when

the brake pedal is depressed:

When repeatedly applying gentle brak-

ing, especially on a curve at a low speed,

or

When the brake rotors have circular

scores with the brake temperature high.

WARNING

Follow the instructions below when

parking the vehicle to help prevent the

brake rotor and brake pads from rust-

ing 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 effec-

tiveness of the brake system which

could cause a collision, serious perso-

nal injury or death.

. The GT-R uses brake pad materials that

have high metallic content. The brake pad

material helps maintain braking performance

in a wide range of weather and driving

conditions.

For the first 3,000-6,000 miles (5,000-

10,000 km) of the vehicles service life,

and for the first 3,000-6,000 miles (5,000-

10,000 km) after a brake replacement, the

brake pad to brake rotor clearance is very

small. When parking, apply the parking

brake and move the shift lever to the &P position. Idle the engine for more than 20

seconds without depressing the brake

pedal. This allows the brake pads to move

away from the rotor so the pad does not

contact the rotor.

(33,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

Additionally, the brakes must be dry before

parking the vehicle after driving on wet roads

or after washing the vehicle. If the roads are

wet, lightly apply the brakes for a short

distance before parking the vehicle to dry

the brakes. After washing the vehicle, dry the

brakes by driving on a dry road for a few

miles and apply the brakes normally based

on traffic and road conditions.

The metallic brake pads and brake disc rotor

may rust together when the brakes are not

applied:

If the vehicle is not idled for 20 seconds

without the brakes applied, or if the

brakes are applied when the vehicle is

shut off, the rotor and pads can rust

together, even when the brake pads are

dry.

If the brakes are wet when the vehicle is

parked and the parking brake is applied

for a long time.

The hill start assist system can apply the

brakes even if the brake pedal is not

depressed. The brake pads and rotors

can rust together if the parking proce-

dure previously described is not fol-

lowed.

It is recommended you contact a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer if the brake pads

and brake rotor have rusted together.

NOTICE

To help reduce the possibility of the

rotors and brake pads rusting:

Have the brake pads and/or rotors

quenched when the brake pads are

replaced. For detailed information

about quenching, contact a GT-R certi-

fied NISSAN dealer.

After quenching the brake pads and/or

rotors, apply a brake of 0.5G to stop the

vehicle 6-7 times at least once a week

in a safe location. G-force can be

checked on the multi function meter

on the touch screen display. Refer to

the separate Multi Function Display

Owners Manual.

. To maintain steady braking performance in

both extremely high and low temperatures,

the gap between the brake pad and caliper

is larger than normal and large-size brake

pads are used. When driving over a bump, a

light rattling sound may be heard from the

brake pad. This does not indicate that there

is a malfunction.

. When the brake disc rotor undergoes

thermal expansion, a ticking noise may be

heard from the engaging portion of the

wheel and the brake disc rotor. This does

not indicate that there is a malfunction. The

noise will reduce when the temperature

decreases.

. In addition to noise resulting from uneven

tire wear discussed in the previous section,

the GT-R tires are more rigid than a typical

passenger car tire and are made from a

specially formulated rubber to maximize the

vehicles performance capabilities. These

characteristics cause the GT-R tires to have

more road noise than a typical passenger

car tire. This road noise is normal.

. Due to the performance capabilities and

requirements of the GT-R, the sequential 6-

speed dual clutch transmission is unlike a

typical automatic transmission. You will likely

hear mechanical sounds from the transmis-

sion, particularly at slow speeds and at idle.

This condition is normal.

Cracks on brake pad GUID-BC1FEDEC-F463-4D51-B3F4-6962DD94A963

The friction material of the GT-R disc brake pad

is bonded to the pad backing plate more

strongly than conventional brake pads to with-

stand the high brake temperatures. The friction

material and backing plate expand due to heat at

different rates. Some cracks may be on the

surface of the friction material due to the

differences in expansion rates and the strong

bond between the friction material and backing

plate. The cracks do not indicate the brake pads

need to be replaced. However, depending on

the condition of the cracks, the pads may need

to be replaced. It is recommended you contact a

GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

JVC0136X

Cracks on the disc rotors GUID-52D20B8E-82A8-463A-9304-CBCD85BCB726

When the brake is repeatedly applied at high

loads during the cold season, small cracks of

approximately 0.12 in (3 mm) long may appear

around the cross drilled holes *A . This is due to

the temperature differential that occurs because

the surfaces of the disc rotors become hot while

the inside of the rotor is still cold. However, this

poses no problem in terms of brake perfor-

mance, and does not indicate a malfunction. The

brakes do not need to be replaced.

However, if the cracks extend to 0.16 in (4 mm)

or longer after repeated application of the

brakes at high loads during high performance

driving, or through the continued use of the

brakes, the disc rotors must be replaced.

Brake dust GUID-31C6B056-A0D5-45B1-BD51-4A89044A64F5

This vehicle is equipped with high performance

brakes, and the characteristics of the brake pad

material may cause more brake dust than other

vehicles. NISSAN recommends a wheel coating

that helps prevent the brake dust from sticking

to the wheels. It is recommended you contact a

GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for more details.

Genuine titanium mufflers are made of titanium

alloy. The surface color will change depending

on the driving conditions, which is not unusual.

Prior to shipping from factory, all vehicles

receive balance aligning for engine, transmis-

sion, and clutch, as well as quench driving of

brake pads and rotors. As a result, the muffler

surface color may differ depending on the

vehicle.

When the exhaust sound control switch is ON or

the engine speed is low, exhaust sound silen-

cing is enhanced by closing the valve. Exhaust

gas is not emitted from the left-side exhaust pipe

when the control valve is closed. This is not a

GTR-28 GT-R Overview

The GT-R dual clutch transmission was devel-

oped specifically to maximize vehicle perfor-

mance and driving enjoyment. The GT-R

transmission components were designed using

different engineering standards than typical

passenger car transmissions. Because of this,

the GT-R has different operating characteristics,

and various rattle noises may be heard during

some driving conditions because of the follow-

ing items:

. Gear clearances

. Ultralight flywheel

. Dry sump lubrication

These noises do not indicate that there is a

malfunction.

(37,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

TRANSMISSION OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS GUID-DC9FD7D2-9CD4-46F9-AFB8-A7B5A93B4FE1

Mechanism Operation characteristics

Base Manual transmission

. The GT-R transmission design is different from transmissions used in conventional passenger cars. The GT-R uses a transmission gear

design, light flywheel and a dry sump lubrication system to provide maximum vehicle performance. Because the GT-R Transmission design

is different, noises may be louder. When the transmission temperature is high, rattling, shaking and jarring noises may be heard.

. Clattering noises may be heard while shifting.

. Appropriate gaps are provided between gears to achieve smooth gear rotation and steady tooth surface lubrication under the high-load

driving condition. However, this causes a rattling noise.

. If the shift lever is moved from &R to &A&M position, or &A&M to &R position 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.

Multiple-disc wet clutch

. When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in the &R or &A&M position, be sure to firmly depress the brake pedal. The vehicle may

slowly move if the brake pedal is not depressed.

. Avoid depressing the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. Depressing the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time could

cause the clutch to overheat and accelerate deterioration.

. When the vehicle is stopped on a hill, do not hold the vehicle in place by depressing the accelerator pedal. Doing so may cause the clutch

to overheat and result in transmission damage. Use the brakes to prevent the vehicle from moving.

Electronic oil pressure control

The following conditions are caused due to changes in fluid viscosity as a result of temperature changes.

. When the transmission oil is extremely cold or extremely hot, the transmission may feel like it is slipping during shifts or there may be hard

shifts. This is normal. Transmission shifting should return to normal when the transmission oil returns to normal operating temperatures.

. When the transmission oil temperature is extremely cold, the time required to run a system check may increase. During the system check,

the shift lever must stay in the &P position. Move the shift lever after turning off the system check display. Also, it is normal to hear clicking

noises during the transmission systems check.

Changing modes

. The higher shift speeds in the &M position may result in shift shock and jerkiness when starting or shifting.

. The quickest shifting in the R mode with the transmission in the &M position is available when the engine speed is high. However, the

transmission may shift more slowly when the engine speed is low.

Mechanical Limited Slip Differential (LSD)

If the vehicle accelerates from a stop with the steering wheel turned half a turn in cold temperatures, the inner wheel tire may slip and some noise or vibration may be heard. This phenomenon occurs because the viscosity of the differential oil becomes thicker and the Limited Slip Differential (LSD) operates with increasing load. When the steering wheel is returned to the straight ahead position or the differential oil warms up, the noise and vibration decrease.

GTR-30 GT-R Overview

Mechanism Operation characteristics

Electronically-controlled All-wheel drive (AWD)

If the vehicle accelerates from a stop with the steering wheel turned half a turn in cold temperatures, it may be hard to move the vehicle when the accelerator pedal is depressed. This phenomenon is unique to AWD vehicles and is caused by the speed difference between the front and rear wheel. This is not a malfunction. Resolve the phenomenon by returning the steering wheel to the straight ahead position. This phenomenon can be reduced if certain conditions are met. ( Tight corner braking phenomenon page 5-43)

Ultralight flywheel

. An ultralight flywheel is provided to achieve rapid engine response to the accelerator pedal operation. The engine rotation fluctuations

become larger than conventional vehicles. Rattling, shaking or jarring noises may be heard when idling or driving at a low speed.

. Rattling noises may be heard when the engine is started or stopped.

WARNING

. Do not ride in a moving vehicle

when the seatback is reclined. This

can be dangerous. The shoulder belt

will not be against your body. In an

accident, you could be thrown into it

and receive neck or other serious

injuries. You could also slide under

the lap belt and receive serious

internal injuries.

. For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the

seat should be upright. Always sit

well back and upright in the seat

with both feet on the floor and

a d j u s t t h e s e a t p r o p e r l y .

( Precautions on seat belt

usage page 1-6)

. After adjustment, gently rock in the

seat to make sure it is securely

locked.

. Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehicle. They could un-

knowingly activate switches or con-

trols. Unattended children could

become involved in serious acci-

dents.

. To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of

the vehicle and/or its systems, do

not leave children, people who re-

quire the assistance of others or

pets unattended in your vehicle.

Additionally, the temperature inside

a closed vehicle on a warm day can

quickly become high enough to

cause a significant risk of injury or

death to people and pets.

. The seatback should not be reclined

any more than needed for comfort.

Seat belts are most effective when

the passenger sits with their back

straight up and contacting the seat.

If the seatback is reclined, the risk

of sliding under the lap belt and

being injured is increased.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be

sure not to contact any moving parts to

avoid possible injuries or damage.

NOTICE

Make sure the front seatback does not

contact the rear seat when reclining the

seat. When the front seat is reclined to

the rearmost position, it may contact

the rear seat. This may cause an

indentation in the seatback.

WARNING

Head restraints/headrests supplement

the other vehicle safety systems. They

may provide additional protection

against injury in certain rear end colli-

sions.

Head restraints/headrests must be ad-

justed properly, as specified in this

section. Check the adjustment after

someone else uses the seat. Failure to

follow these instructions can reduce the

effectiveness of the head restraints/

headrests. This may increase the risk

of serious injury or death in a collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT

USAGE GUID-D7A4A9F8-7D03-408A-AF60-2A20FAC75001

If you are wearing your seat belt properly

adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well

back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your

chances of being injured or killed in an accident

and/or the severity of injury may be greatly

reduced. NISSAN strongly encourages you and

all of your passengers to buckle up every time

you drive, even if your seating position includes a

supplemental air bag.

Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces

or territories specify that seat belts be

worn at all times when a vehicle is being

driven.

WARNING

. Every person who drives or rides in

this vehicle should use a seat belt at

all times. Children should be prop-

erly restrained in the rear seat and,

if appropriate, in a child restraint.

. The seat belt should be properly

adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do

so may reduce the effectiveness of

the entire restraint system and in-

crease the chance or severity of

injury in an accident. Serious injury

or death can occur if the seat belt is

not worn properly.

. Always route the shoulder belt over

your shoulder and across your

chest. Never put the belt behind

your back, under your arm or across

your neck. The belt should be away

from your face and neck, but not

falling off your shoulder.

. Position the lap belt as low and

snug as possible AROUND THE

HIPS, NOT THE WAIST. A lap belt

worn too high could increase the

risk of internal injuries in an acci-

dent.

1-8 Safety Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

. Be sure the seat belt tongue is

securely fastened to the proper

buckle.

. Do not wear the seat belt inside out

or twisted. Doing so may reduce its

effectiveness.

. Do not allow more than one person

to use the same seat belt.

. Never carry more people in the

vehicle than there are seat belts.

. If the seat belt warning light glows

continuously while the ignition is

turned ON with all doors closed and

all seat belts fastened, it may in-

dicate a malfunction in the system.

It is recommended you have the

system checked by a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer.

. No changes should be made to the

seat belt system. For example, do

not modify the seat belt, add mate-

rial, or install devices that may

change the seat belt routing or

tension. Doing so may affect the

operation of the seat belt system.

Modifying or tampering with the

seat belt system may result in

serious personal injury.

. Once a seat belt pretensioner has

activated, it cannot be reused and

must be replaced together with the

retractor. It is recommended you

see a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

. Removal and installation of the

pretensioner system components

should be done by a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer.

. All seat belt assemblies, including

retractors and attaching hardware,

should be inspected after any colli-

sion by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer. NISSAN recommends that

all seat belt assemblies in use

during a collision be replaced un-

less the collision was minor and the

belts show no damage and continue

to operate properly. Seat belt as-

semblies not in use during a colli-

sion should also be inspected and

replaced if either damage or impro-

per operation is noted.

. All child restraints and attaching

hardware should be inspected after

any collision. Always follow the

restraint manufacturers inspection

instructions and replacement re-

commendations. The child restraints

should be replaced if they are

damaged.

WARNING

. Every person who drives or rides in

this vehicle should use a seat belt at

all times.

. Do not ride in a moving vehicle

when the seatback is reclined. This

can be dangerous. The shoulder belt

will not be against your body. In an

accident, you could be thrown into it

and receive neck or other serious

injuries. You could also slide under

the lap belt and receive serious

internal injuries.

. For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the

seat should be upright. Always sit

well back and upright in the seat

with both feet on the floor and

adjust the seat belt properly.

. Do not allow children to play with

the seat belts. Most seating posi-

tions are equipped with Automatic

Locking Retractor (ALR) mode seat

belts. If the seat belt becomes

wrapped around a childs neck with

the ALR mode activated, the child

can be seriously injured or killed if

the seat belt retracts and becomes

tight. This can occur even if the

vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat

belt to release the child. If the seat

belt cannot be unbuckled or is

already unbuckled, release the child

by cutting the seat belt with a

suitable tool (such as a knife or

scissors) to release the seat belt.

1. Adjust the seat. ( Seats page 1-2)

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor

and insert the tongue into the buckle until

you hear and feel the latch engage. . The retractor is designed to lock

during a sudden stop or on impact. A

slow pulling motion permits the belt

to move, and allows you some free-

dom of movement in the seat. . If the seat belt cannot be pulled

from its fully retracted position,

firmly pull the belt and release it.

Then smoothly pull the belt out of

the retractor.

GPR0036

3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug

on the hips as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the

retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the

shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder

and across your chest.

The three-point type seat belts for the front

passenger and rear seats have two modes of

operation:

. Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

. Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode

allows the seat belt to extend and retract to

allow the driver and passengers some freedom

(65,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

of movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat

belt when the vehicle slows down rapidly or

during impacts.

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode or

child restraint mode locks the seat belt for child

restraint installation.

When the ALR mode is activated the seat belt

cannot be extended again until the seat belt

tongue is detached from the buckle and fully

retracted. The seat belt returns to the ELR mode

after the seat belt is fully retracted.

( Child restraints page 1-16)

The ALR mode should be used only for

child restraint installation. During normal

seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR

mode should not be activated. If it is

activated it may cause uncomfortable seat

belt tension. It can also change the opera-

tion of the front passenger air bag.

( Front passenger air bag and status

light page 1-41)

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be

certain that seatbacks are completely

secured in the latched position. If they

are not completely secured, passengers

may be injured in an accident or sudden

stop.

Checking seat belt operation GUID-5FF210C6-685D-44A7-93DA-171DBA4167B9

Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat

belt movement by two separate methods:

. When the belt is pulled quickly from the

retractor.

. When the vehicle slows down rapidly.

To increase your confidence in the seat belts,

check the operation as follows:

. Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward

quickly. The retractor should lock and

restrict further belt movement.

If the retractor does not lock during this check or

if you have any question about seat belt

operation, see a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

GPC0048

Shoulder belt arm (for front seats) GUID-E951CA27-1FF9-4060-BDAF-5F9EA3342F3D

Before fastening the seat belt, adjust the

shoulder belt arm to the lock position where

the belt fits snugly on the shoulder. The arm can

also be folded down to allow rear seat

passengers easier access.

Pulling the arm forward will allow an easy access

to the belt.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS GUID-2B114D8F-5D08-4666-8ACB-2253E777761D

If, because of body size or driving position, it is

not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt

and fasten it, an extender that is compatible with

the installed seat belts is available that can be

purchased. The extender adds approximately 8

in (200 mm) of length and may be used for either

the driver or front passenger seating position. It

is recommended you see a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer for assistance with purchasing

an extender if an extender is required.

WARNING

. Only NISSAN seat belt extenders,

made by the same company which

made the original equipment seat

belts, should be used with the

NISSAN seat belts.

. Adults and children who can use the

standard seat belt should not use an

extender. Such unnecessary use

could result in serious personal

injury in the event of an accident.

. Never use seat belt extenders to

install child restraints. If the child

restraint is not secured properly, the

child could be seriously injured in a

(67,1)

collision or a sudden stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE GUID-E3B4EBF9-7010-4274-9B3F-C84BFF4CAEFA

. To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a

mild soap solution or any solution recom-

mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.

Then, wipe with a cloth and allow the seat

belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the

seat belts to retract until they are completely

dry.

. If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt

guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat

belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder

belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.

. Periodically check to see that the seat

belt and the metal components such as

buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires

and anchors work properly. If loose parts,

deterioration, cuts or other damage on the

webbing is found, the entire seat belt

assembly should be replaced.

GUID-A6D31E94-C717-41B5-961E-4C88C1E91746

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with the

seat belts. Most seating positions are

equipped with Automatic Locking Re-

tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the

seat belt becomes wrapped around a

childs neck with the ALR mode acti-

vated, the child can be seriously injured

or killed if the seat belt retracts and

becomes tight. This can occur even if

the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat

belt to release the child. If the seat belt

cannot be unbuckled or is already

unbuckled, release the child by cutting

the seat belt with a suitable tool (such

as a knife or scissors) to release the

seat belt.

Children need adults to help protect them.

They need to be properly restrained.

In addition to the general information in this

manual, child safety information is available from

many other sources, including doctors, teachers,

government traffic safety offices, and community

organizations. Every child is different, so be sure

to learn the best way to transport your child.

There are three basic types of child restraint

systems:

. Rear-facing child restraint

. Forward-facing child restraint

. Booster seat

The proper restraint depends on the childs size.

Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less

than 20 lb (9 kg)) should be placed in rear-

facing child restraints. Forward-facing child

restraints are available for children who outgrow

rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1

year old. Booster seats are used to help position

a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no

longer use a forward-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special pro-

tection. The vehicles seat belts may not

fit them properly. The shoulder belt may

come too close to the face or neck. The

lap belt may not fit over their small hip

bones. In an accident, an improperly

fitting seat belt could cause serious or

fatal injury. Always use appropriate

child restraints.

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

1-14 Safety Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require the use of approved child

restraints for infants and small children.

( Child restraints page 1-16)

A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle

by using either the LATCH (Lower Anchor and

Tethers for CHildren) system or with the vehicle

seat belt. ( Child restraints page 1-16)

NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens

and children be restrained in the rear seat.

According to accident statistics, children

are safer when properly restrained in the

rear seat than in the front seat.

This is especially important because your

vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-

tem (air bag system) for the front passen-

ger. ( Supplemental restraint system

page 1-34)

INFANTS GUID-1C98AC07-35F0-4C3F-BD23-57D772394BF4

Infants up to at least one year old should be

placed in a rear-facing child restraint. NISSAN

recommends that infants be placed in child

restraints that comply with Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor

Vehicle Safety Standards. You should choose a

child restraint which fits your vehicle and always

follow the manufacturers instructions for instal-

lation and use.

SMALL CHILDREN GUID-264DB4CD-5605-4BBA-A146-1DC314130AA4

Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at

least 20 lb (9 kg) should remain in a rear-facing

child restraint as long as possible up to the

height or weight limit of the child restraint.

Children who outgrow the height or weight limit

of the rear-facing child restraint and are at least

1 year old should be secured in a forward-facing

child restraint with a harness. Refer to the

manufacturers instructions for minimum and

maximum weight and height recommendations.

NISSAN recommends that small children be

placed in child restraints that comply with

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You

should choose a child restraint that fits your

vehicle and always follow the manufacturers

instructions for installation and use.

LARGER CHILDREN GUID-A382489B-3EA8-495B-84AF-1756D106A7D5

Children should remain in a forward-facing child

restraint with a harness until they reach the

maximum height or weight limit allowed by the

child restraint manufacturer.

Once a child outgrows the height or weight limit

of the harness-equipped forward-facing child

restraint, NISSAN recommends that the child be

placed in a commercially available booster seat

to obtain proper seat belt fit. For a seat belt to fit

properly, the booster seat should raise the child

so that the shoulder belt is properly positioned

across the chest and the top, middle portion of

the shoulder. The shoulder belt should not cross

the neck or face and should not fall off the

shoulder. The lap belt should lie snugly across

the lower hips or upper thighs, not the abdomen.

A booster seat can only be used in seating

positions that have a three-point type seat belt.

The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and

have a label certifying that it complies with

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

A booster seat should be used until the child

can pass the seat belt fit test below:

. Are the childs back and hips against the

vehicle seatback?

. Is the child able to sit without slouching?

. Do the childs knees bend easily over the

front edge of the seat with feet flat on the

floor?

. Can the child safely wear the seat belt (lap

belt low and snug across the hips and

shoulder belt across mid-chest and

shoulder)?

. Is the child able to use the properly adjusted

head restraint/headrest?

(69,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

. Will the child be able to stay in position for

the entire ride?

JVR0489X

If you answered no to any of these questions,

the child should remain in a booster seat using a

three-point type seat belt.

NOTE:

Laws in some communities may follow

different guidelines. Check local and state

regulations to confirm your child is using

the correct restraint system before travel-

ing.

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.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE-

STRAINTS GUID-6923ED87-B7D9-43EB-90C3-42F89BA0FB07

WARNING

. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use and in-

stallation of child restraints could

result in serious injury or death of a

child or other passengers in a

sudden stop or collision:

The child restraint must be used

and installed properly. Always

follow all of the child restraint

manufacturers instructions for

installation and use.

Infants and children should

never be held on anyones lap.

Even the strongest adult cannot

resist the forces of a collision.

Do not put a seat belt around

both a child and another pas-

senger.

NISSAN recommends that all

child restraints be installed in

the rear seat. Studies show that

children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seat than

in the front seat. If you must

install a forward-facing child

restraint in the front seat.

( Forward-facing child re-

straint installation using the

seat belts page 1-27)

Even with the NISSAN Advanced

Air Bag System, never install a

rear-facing child restraint in the

front seat. An inflating air bag

could seriously injure or kill a

child. A rear-facing child re-

straint must only be used in the

rear seat.

Be sure to purchase a child

restraint that will fit the child

and vehicle. Some child re-

straints may not fit properly in

your vehicle.

Child restraint anchor points are

designed to withstand loads

from child restraints that are

properly fitted.

Never use the anchor points for

adult seat belts or harnesses.

A child restraint with a top tether

strap should not be used in the

CHILD RESTRAINTS

(71,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

front passenger seat.

Keep seatbacks as upright as

possible after fitting the child

restraint.

Infants and children should al-

ways be placed in an appropri-

ate child restraint while in the

vehicle.

. When the child restraint is not in

use, keep it secured with the LATCH

system or a seat belt. In a sudden

stop or collision, loose objects can

injure occupants or damage the

vehicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle can

become very hot. Check the seating

surface and buckles before placing a

child in the child restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal child

restraint anchor system, referred to as the

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHil-

dren) system. Some child restraints include rigid

or webbing-mounted attachments that can be

connected to these anchors. (See Lower

Anchors and Tethers for CHildren System

(LATCH) page 1-18.)

If you do not have a LATCH compatible child

restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.

Several manufacturers offer child restraints for

infants and small children of various sizes. When

selecting any child restraint, keep the following

points in mind:

. Choose only a restraint with a label certifying

that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

. Check the child restraint in your vehicle to

be sure it is compatible with the vehicles

seat and seat belt system.

. If the child restraint is compatible with your

vehicle, place your child in the child restraint

and check the various adjustments to be

sure the child restraint is compatible with

your child. Choose a child restraint that is

designed for your childs height and weight.

Always follow all recommended procedures.

. If the combined weight of the child and child

restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), you

may use either the LATCH anchors or the

seat belt to install the child restraint (not

both at the same time).

. If the combined weight of the child and child

restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use

the vehicles seat belt (not the lower

anchors) to install the child restraint.

. Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-

facturers instructions for installation.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require that infants and small

children be restrained in an approved child

restraint at all times while the vehicle is

being operated. Canadian law requires the

top tether strap on forward-facing child

restraints be secured to the designated

anchor point on the vehicle.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use and installa-

tion of child restraints could result in

serious injury or death of a child or

other passengers in a sudden stop or

collision:

. Attach LATCH system compatible

child restraints only at the locations

shown in the illustration.

. Inspect the lower anchors by insert-

ing your fingers into the lower

anchor area. Feel to make sure

there are no obstructions over the

anchors such as seat belt webbing

or seat cushion material. The child

restraint will not be secured prop-

erly if the lower anchors are ob-

structed.

Child restraint anchorages are de-

signed to withstand only those loads

imposed by correctly fitted child re-

straints. Under no circumstances are

they to be used to attach adult seat

belts, or other items or equipment to

the vehicle. Doing so could damage the

child restraint anchorages. The child

restraint will not be properly installed

using the damaged anchorage, and a

child could be seriously injured or killed

in a collision.

Precautions on booster seats GUID-9892AB26-BD80-4EA4-82A9-02C71645C65B

WARNING

If a booster seat and seat belt are not

used properly, the risk of a child being

injured in a sudden stop or collision

greatly increases:

. Make sure the shoulder portion of

the belt is away from the childs face

and neck and the lap portion of the

belt does not cross the stomach.

. Make sure the shoulder belt is not

behind the child or under the childs

arm.

. A booster seat must only be in-

stalled in a seating position that has

a lap/shoulder belt.

Booster seats of various sizes are offered by

several manufacturers. When selecting any

booster seat, keep the following points in mind:

. Choose only a booster seat with a label

certifying that it complies with Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

. Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be

sure it is compatible with the vehicles seat

and seat belt system.

GPR0064

. Make sure the childs head will be properly

supported by the booster seat or vehicle

seat. The seatback must be at or above the

center of the childs ears. For example, if a

low back booster seat *1 is chosen, the

vehicle seatback must be at or above the

center of the childs ears. If the seatback is

lower than the center of the childs ears, a

high back booster seat *2 should be used.

. If the booster seat is compatible with your

vehicle, place your child in the booster seat

and check the various adjustments to be

sure the booster seat is compatible with

your child. Always follow all recommended

procedures.

GPR0065

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require that infants and small

children be restrained in an approved child

restraint at all times while the vehicle is

being operated.

cushion the impact force to the head of

occupants in the front seating positions in

certain side impact collisions. The curtain air

bags are designed to inflate on the side where

the vehicle is impacted.

These supplemental restraint systems are de-

signed to supplement the crash protection

provided by the driver and passenger seat belts

and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts

should always be correctly worn and the

occupant seated a suitable distance away from

the steering wheel, instrument panel and door

finishers. ( Seat belts page 1-6)

This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN

Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and

front passenger seats. This system is designed

to meet certification requirements under U.S.

regulations. It is also permitted in Canada. All of

the information, cautions and warnings in

this manual apply and must be followed.

The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is

located in the center of the steering wheel. The

front passenger supplemental front-impact air

bag is mounted in the instrument panel above

the glove box. The front air bags are designed to

inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,

although they may inflate if the forces in another

type of collision are similar to those of a higher

severity frontal impact. They may not inflate in

certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack

of it) is not always an indication of proper front

air bag operation.

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System has

dual stage air bag inflators. The system monitors

information from the Air bag Control Unit (ACU),

seat belt buckle sensors and the occupant

classification sensor (pattern sensor). Inflator

operation is based on the severity of a collision

and seat belt usage for the driver. For the front

passenger, the occupant classification sensor is

also monitored. Based on information from the

sensors, only one front air bag may inflate in a

crash, depending on the crash severity and

whether the front occupants are belted or

unbelted. Additionally, the front passenger air

bag may be automatically turned OFF under

some conditions, depending on the information

provided by the occupant classification sensor.

If the front passenger air bag is OFF, the

passenger air bag status light will be illuminated

(if the seat is unoccupied, the light will not be

illuminated, but the air bag will be off). One front

air bag inflating does not indicate improper

performance of the system. ( Front pas-

senger air bag and status light page 1-41)

If you have any questions about your air bag

system, it is recommended you contact NISSAN

or a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. If you are

considering modification of your vehicle due to a

disability, you may also contact NISSAN. Con-

tact information is contained in the front of this

Owners Manual.

When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise

may be heard, followed by release of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate

a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it

may cause irritation and choking. Those with a

history of a breathing condition should get fresh

air promptly.

Front air bags, along with the use of seat belts,

help to cushion the impact force on the head

and chest of the front occupants. They can help

save lives and reduce serious injuries. However,

an inflating front air bag may cause facial

abrasions or other injuries. Front air bags do

not provide restraint to the lower body.

Even with NISSAN advanced air bags, seat

belts should be correctly worn and the driver

and passenger seated upright as far as practical

away from the steering wheel or instrument

panel. The front air bags inflate quickly in order

to help protect the front occupants. Because of

this, the force of the front air bag inflating can

increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too

close to, or is against, the air bag module during

inflation.

The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.

The front air bags operate only when the

ignition switch is in the ON position.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warning

light illuminates. The supplemental air bag

warning light will turn off after about 7

seconds if the system is operational.

that the front passenger air bag is opera-

tional.

Front passenger air bag: GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9

The front passenger air bag is designed to

automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is

operated under some conditions as described

below as permitted by U.S. regulations. If the

front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not inflate

in a crash. The driver air bag and other air bags

in your vehicle are not part of this system.

The purpose of the regulation is to help reduce

the risk of injury or death from an inflating air bag

to certain front passenger seat occupants, such

as children, by requiring the air bag to be

automatically turned OFF.

The occupant classification sensor (pattern

sensor) is in the front passenger seat cushion

and is designed to detect an occupant and

objects on the seat. For example, if a child is in

the front passenger seat, the Advanced Air Bag

System is designed to turn the passenger air

bag OFF in accordance with the regulations.

Also, if a child restraint of the type specified in

the regulations is on the seat, the occupant

classification sensor can detect it and cause the

air bag to turn OFF.

Front passenger seat adult occupants who are

properly seated and using the seat belt as

outlined in this manual should not cause the

passenger air bag to be automatically turned

OFF. For small adults it may be turned OFF,

1-42 Safety Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

however, if the occupant does not sit in the seat

properly (for example, by not sitting upright, by

sitting on an edge of the seat, or by otherwise

being out of position), this could cause the

sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be sure

to be seated and wearing the seat belt properly

for the most effective protection by the seat belt

and supplemental air bag.

NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and chil-

dren be properly restrained in a rear seat.

NISSAN also recommends that appropriate

child restraints and booster seats be properly

installed in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the

occupant classification sensor is designed to

operate as described above to turn the front

passenger air bag OFF for specified child

restraints. Failing to properly secure child

restraints and to use the Automatic Locking

Retractor (ALR) mode (child restraint mode)

may allow the restraint to tip or move in an

accident or sudden stop. This can also result in

the passenger air bag inflating in a crash instead

of being OFF. ( Child restraints page 1-

16)

If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the

passenger air bag is designed not to inflate in a

crash. However, heavy objects placed on the

seat could result in air bag inflation, because of

the object being detected by the occupant

classification sensor. Other conditions could

also result in air bag inflation, such as if a child is

standing on the seat, or if two children are on the

seat, contrary to the instructions in this manual.

Always be sure that you and all vehicle

occupants are seated and restrained properly.

Using the passenger air bag status light, you can

monitor when the front passenger air bag is

automatically turned OFF with the seat occu-

pied. The light will not illuminate when the front

passenger seat is unoccupied.

If an adult occupant is in the seat but the

passenger air bag status light is illuminated

(indicating that the air bag is OFF), it could be

that the person is a small adult, or is not sitting

on the seat properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the front seat,

the passenger air bag status light may or may

not be illuminated, depending on the size of the

child and the type of child restraint being used. If

the passenger air bag status light is not

illuminated (indicating that the air bag might

inflate in a crash), it could be that the child

restraint or seat belt is not being used properly.

Make sure that the child restraint is installed

properly, the seat belt is used properly and the

occupant is positioned properly. If the passen-

ger air bag status light is still not illuminated,

reposition the occupant or child restraint in a

rear seat.

If the passenger air bag status light will not

illuminate even though you believe that the child

restraint, the seat belts and the occupant are

properly positioned, the system may be sensing

an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is

OFF). Your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer can

check that the system is OFF by using a special

tool. However, until you have confirmed with

your dealer that your air bag is working properly,

reposition the occupant or child restraint in a

rear seat.

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System and

passenger air bag status light will take a few

seconds to register a change in the passenger

seat status. However, if the seat becomes

unoccupied, the air bag status light will remain

off.

If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air

bag system, the supplemental air bag warning

light , located in the meter and gauges area

will blink. It is recommended you have the

system checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer.

WARNING

. Do not place any objects on the

steering wheel pad or on the instru-

ment panel. Also, do not place any

objects between any occupant and

the steering wheel or instrument

panel. Such objects may become

dangerous projectiles and cause

injury if the front air bag inflates.

. Do not place objects with sharp

edges on the seat. Also, do not

place heavy objects on the seat that

will leave permanent impressions in

the seat. Such objects can damage

the seat or occupant classification

sensor (pattern sensor). This can

affect the operation of the air bag

system and result in serious perso-

nal injury.

. Do not use water or acidic cleaners

(hot steam cleaners) on the seat.

This can damage the seat or occu-

pant classification sensor. This can

also affect the operation of the air

bag system and result in serious

personal injury.

. Immediately after inflation, several

front air bag system components

will be hot. Do not touch them; you

may severely burn yourself.

. No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring

of the supplemental air bag system.

This is to prevent accidental infla-

tion of the supplemental air bag or

damage to the supplemental air bag

system.

. Do not make unauthorized changes

to your vehicles electrical system,

suspension system or front end

structure. This could affect proper

operation of the front air bag sys-

tem.

. Tampering with the supplemental

air bag system may result in serious

personal injury. Tampering includes

changes to the steering wheel and

the instrument panel assembly by

placing material over the steering

wheel pad and above the instrument

panel or by installing additional trim

material around the air bag system.

. Modifying or tampering with the

front passenger seat may result in

serious personal injury. For exam-

ple, do not change the front seats by

placing material on the seat cushion

or by installing additional trim ma-

terial, such as seat covers, on the

seat that is not specifically designed

to assure proper air bag operation.

Additionally, do not stow any ob-

jects under the front passenger seat

or the seat cushion and seatback.

Such objects may interfere with the

proper operation of the occupant

classification sensor.

. No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring

of the seat belt system. This may

affect the front air bag system.

Tampering with the seat belt system

may result in serious personal in-

jury.

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-

PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG

AND ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN

SIDE-IMPACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR

BAG SYSTEMS GUID-17B6038E-9ED1-47FA-95EC-3CB5939B8DA1

The front side air bags are located in the outside

of the seatback of the front seats. The curtain air

bags are located in the side roof rails. All of the

information, cautions and warnings in this

manual apply and must be followed. The

side air bags and curtain air bags are designed

to inflate in higher severity side collisions,

although they may inflate if the forces in another

type of collision are similar to those of a higher

severity side impact. They are designed to inflate

on the side where the vehicle is impacted. They

may not inflate in certain side collisions.

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an

indication of proper side air bag and curtain air

bag operation.

When the side air bags and curtain air bags

inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed

by release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful

and does not indicate a fire. Care should be

taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation

and choking. Those with a history of a breathing

condition should get fresh air promptly.

Front side air bags, along with the use of seat

belts, help to cushion the impact force on the

chest of the front occupants. Curtain air bags

help to cushion the impact force to the head of

occupants in the front seating positions. They

can help save lives and reduce serious injuries.

However, an inflating side air bag and curtain air

bag may cause abrasions or other injuries. Side

air bags and curtain air bags do not provide

restraint to the lower body.

The seat belts should be correctly worn and the

driver and passenger seated upright as far as

practical away from the side air bags. The side

air bags and curtain air bags inflate quickly in

order to help protect occupants. Because of

this, the force of the side air bags and curtain air

(99,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

bags inflating can increase the risk of injury if the

occupant is too close to, or is against, these air

bag modules during inflation. The side air bags

and curtain air bags will deflate quickly after the

collision is over.

The side air bags and curtain air bags operate

only when the ignition switch is in the ON

position.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warning

light illuminates. The air bag warning light

will turn off after about 7 seconds if the

systems are operational.

WARNING

. Do not place any objects near the

seatback of the front seats. Also, do

not place any objects (an umbrella,

bag, etc.) between the front door

finisher and the front seat. Such

objects may become dangerous

projectiles and cause injury if a side

air bag inflates.

. Right after inflation, several side air

bag and curtain air bag system

components will be hot. Do not

touch them; you may severely burn

yourself.

. No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring

of the side air bags and curtain air

bags. This is to prevent damage to

or accidental inflation of the side air

bag and curtain air bag systems.

. Do not make unauthorized changes

to your vehicles electrical system,

suspension system or side panel.

This could affect proper operation

of the side air bag and curtain air

bag systems.

. Tampering with the side air bag

system may result in serious perso-

nal injury. For example, do not

change the front seat by placing

material near the seatback or by

installing additional trim material,

such as seat covers, around the side

air bags.

. Work around and on the side air bag

and curtain air bag systems should

be done by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer. Installation of electrical

equipment should also be done by

a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. The

SRS wiring harnesses* should not

be modified or disconnected. Un-

authorized electrical test equipment

and probing devices should not be

used on the side air bag and curtain

air bag systems.

* The SRS wiring harness connectors are

yellow and orange for easy identification.

When selling your vehicle, we request that you

inform the buyer about the side air bag and

curtain air bag systems and guide the buyer to

the appropriate sections in this Owners Manual.

made to any components or wiring

of the pretensioners. This is to

prevent damage to or accidental

activation of the pretensioners.

Tampering with the pretensioner

system may result in serious perso-

nal injury.

. Work around and on the preten-

sioners should be done by a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer. Installation

of electrical equipment should also

be done by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer. Unauthorized electrical test

equipment and probing devices

should not be used on the preten-

sioners.

. If you need to dispose of a preten-

sioner or scrap the vehicle, it is

recommended you contact a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer. Incorrect

disposal procedures could cause

personal injury.

The pretensioner system may activate with the

supplemental air bag system in certain types of

collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor, it

helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle

becomes involved in certain types of collisions,

helping to restrain front seat occupants.

The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt

retractor. These seat belts are used the same

way as conventional seat belts. When a preten-

sioner activates, smoke is released and a loud

noise may be heard. The smoke is not harmful,

and it does not indicate a fire. Care should be

taken not to inhale it as it may cause irritation

and choking. Those with a history of a breathing

condition should get fresh air promptly.

After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow

the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to

reduce forces against the chest.

The supplemental air bag warning light is

used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner

system. (See Supplemental air bag warn-

ing light page 1-47 for more details.) If the

operation of the supplemental air bag warning

light indicates there is a malfunction, it is

recommended you have the system checked

by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

When selling your vehicle, we request that you

inform the buyer about the pretensioner system

and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections

in this Owners Manual.

Your vehicle has two types of security systems,

as follows:

. Vehicle security system

. NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System

The security condition will be shown by the

security indicator light.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM GUID-9FC120CF-7493-403D-8A4D-4D0E0CCBEC31

The vehicle security system provides visual and

audio alarm signals if someone opens the doors,

hood, or trunk lid when the system is armed. It is

not, however, a motion detection type system

that activates when a vehicle is moved or when a

vibration occurs.

The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot

prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior

or exterior vehicle components in all situations.

Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a

brief period. Never leave your Intelligent Key(s)

in the vehicle, and always lock it when un-

attended. Be aware of your surroundings, and

park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.

Many devices offering additional protection,

such as component locks, identification markers,

and tracking systems, are available at auto

supply stores and specialty shops. Your GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer may also offer such

equipment. Check with your insurance company

to see if you may be eligible for discounts for

various theft protection features.

windows are open.

2. Push the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK

position.

3. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.

4. Close all doors, hood and trunk. Lock all

doors. The doors can be locked with the

Intelligent Key, door handle request switch

or power door lock switch. The power door

lock switch should be operated while the

door is open, and then closed.

5. Confirm that the security indicator light

comes on. The security indicator light stays

on for about 30 seconds. The vehicle

security system is now pre-armed. After

about 30 seconds the vehicle security

system automatically shifts into the armed

phase. The security light begins to flash

once every approximately 3 seconds. If,

during this 30-second pre-arm time period,

the door is unlocked, or the ignition switch is

pushed to ACC or ON, the system will not

arm.

Even when the driver and/or passengers

are in the vehicle, the system will activate

with all doors, hood, and trunk lid locked

with the ignition switch in the LOCK

position. When pushing the ignition switch

to the ACC or ON position, the system will

be released.

Vehicle security system activation GUID-A43E97AF-39F9-49C9-98AB-1877FD0EE01D

The vehicle security system will give the follow-

ing alarm:

. The headlights blink and the horn sounds

intermittently.

. The alarm automatically turns off after

approximately 1 minute. However, the alarm

reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with

again.

The alarm is activated by:

. Opening the door or the trunk lid without

using the button on the Intelligent Key, the

door handle request switch or the mechan-

ical key. (Even if the door is opened by

releasing the door inside lock knob, the

alarm will activate.)

. Opening the hood.

How to stop an activated alarm GUID-5074B89D-A82F-4CD3-9682-B35D540856A8

The alarm will stop by:

. Unlocking a door by pushing the UNLOCK

button on the Intelligent Key.

. Unlocking a door by pushing the door

handle request switch.

. Pushing the ignition switch to the ACC or

ON position.

scribed above, it is recommended you have

it checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer.

The HomeLink Universal Transceiver provides a

convenient way to consolidate the functions of

up to three individual hand-held transmitters into

one built-in device.

HomeLink Universal Transceiver:

. Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)

devices such as garage doors, gates, home

and office lighting, entry door locks and

security systems.

. Is powered by your vehicles battery. No

separate batteries are required. If the

vehicles battery is discharged or is dis-

connected, HomeLink will retain all pro-

gramming.

When the HomeLink Universal Transcei-

ver is programmed, retain the original

transmitter for future programming proce-

dures (Example: new vehicle purchases).

Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed

HomeLink Universal Transceiver buttons

should be erased for security purposes.

For additional information, refer to

Programming HomeLink page 2-

66.

WARNING

. Do not use the HomeLink Universal

Transceiver with any garage door

opener that lacks safety stop and

reverse features as required by

federal safety standards. (These

standards became effective for

opener models manufactured after

April 1, 1982.) A garage door opener

which cannot detect an object in the

path of a closing garage door and

then automatically stop and reverse,

does not meet current federal safety

standards. Using a garage door

opener without these features in-

creases the risk of serious injury or

death.

. During the programming procedure

your garage door or security gate

will open and close (if the transmit-

ter is within range). Make sure that

people or objects are clear of the

garage door, gate, etc. that you are

programming.

. Your vehicles engine should be

turned off while programming the

HomeLink Universal Transceiver.

Do not breathe exhaust gases; they

contain colorless and odorless car-

bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is

dangerous. It can cause uncon-

sciousness or death.

nadian customers and gate openers

page 2-68.

JVI0429X

3. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink

button and observe the indicator light. . If the indicator light *1 is solid/contin-

uous, programming is complete and your

device should activate when the

HomeLink button is pressed and re-

leased. . If the indicator light *1 blinks rapidly for

two seconds and then turns to a solid/

continuous light, continue with Steps 4-6

for a rolling code device. A second

person may make the following steps

easier. Use a ladder or other device. Do

not stand on your vehicle to perform the

next steps.

4. At the receiver located on the garage door

opener motor in the garage, locate the

learn or smart button (the name and

color of the button may vary by manufacturer

but it is usually located near where the

hanging antenna wire is attached to the

unit). If there is difficulty locating the button,

reference the garage door openers manual.

5. Press and release the learn or smart

button.

NOTE:

Once the button is pressed, you have

approximately 30 seconds to initiate

the next step.

6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and

hold the programmed HomeLink button for

two seconds and release. Repeat the

press/hold/release sequence up to 3

times to complete the programming pro-

cess. HomeLink should now activate your

PROGRAMMING HomeLink FOR

CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE

OPENERS GUID-36B2F891-E88A-44D8-9605-3015E96658A1

Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans-

mitter signals to time-out (or quit) after several

seconds of transmission which may not be

long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal

during programming. Similar to this Canadian

law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to

time-out in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties

programming a gate operator or garage door

opener by using the Programming HomeLink

procedures, replace Programming HomeLink

Step 2 with the following:

NOTE:

When programming a garage door opener,

etc., unplug the device during the cycling

process to prevent possible damage to the

garage door opener components.

Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously press

and hold the desired HomeLink button and the

hand-held transmitter button. During program-

ming, your hand-held transmitter may automati-

cally stop transmitting. Continue to press and

hold the desired HomeLink button while you

press and re-press (cycle) your hand-held

transmitter every two seconds until the fre-

quency signal has been learned. The HomeLink

indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly

after several seconds upon successful program-

ming. DO NOT release until the HomeLink

indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly.

A key number plate is supplied with your keys.

Record the key number and keep it in a safe

place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle. If

you lose your keys, it is recommended you see a

GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for duplicates by

using the key number. NISSAN does not record

any key numbers so it is very important to keep

track of your key number plate.

A key number is only necessary when you have

lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate

from. If you still have a key, this key can be

duplicated by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

GUID-B97E82CC-83B2-40F3-9F28-848321677F51

WARNING

. Always have the doors locked while

driving. Along with the use of seat

belts, this provides greater safety in

the event of an accident by helping

to prevent persons from being

thrown from the vehicle. This also

helps keep children and others from

unintentionally opening the doors,

and will help keep out intruders.

. Before opening any door, always

look for and avoid oncoming traffic.

. To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of

the vehicle and or its systems,

including entrapment in windows

or inadvertent door lock activation,

do not leave children, people who

require the assistance of others or

pets unattended in your vehicle.

Additionally, the temperature inside

a closed vehicle on a warm day can

quickly become high enough to

cause a significant risk of injury or

death to people and pets.

CAUTION

To prevent theft or accidents, be sure to

stop the engine and lock the doors

before stepping away from the vehicle.

NOTICE

When the battery cable is removed from

the battery terminal, do not close either

of the front doors. The automatic win-

dow adjusting function will not work,

and the side roof panel may be da-

maged. ( Automatic adjusting

function page 2-63)

NOTE:

. The doors of this vehicle are somewhat

harder to close than those of an

ordinary vehicle (especially when the

vehicle is new). This is because the

stiffness of the rubber has been in-

creased to improve the airtightness of

the vehicle interior during situations

such as higher speed driving. This does

not indicate that there is a malfunction.

. When the drivers door is locked or

unlocked, the fuel-filler door is auto-

matically locked or unlocked at the

same time.

When the door is being opened, the window is

automatically lowered slightly to avoid contact

between the window and the side roof panel.

When the door is closed, the window is

automatically raised slightly. ( Automatic

adjusting function page 2-63)

WARNING

. Radio waves could adversely affect

electric medical equipment. Those

who use a pacemaker should con-

tact the electric medical equipment

manufacturer for the possible influ-

ences before use.

. The Intelligent Key transmits radio

waves when the buttons are

pushed. The Federal Aviation

Agency (FAA) advises the radio

waves may affect aircraft navigation

and communication systems. Do not

operate the Intelligent Key while on

an airplane. Make sure the buttons

are not operated unintentionally

when the unit is stored for a flight.

The Intelligent Key system can operate all the

door locks using the remote controller function

or pushing the request switch on the vehicle

without taking the key out from a pocket or

purse. The operating environment and/or condi-

tions may affect the Intelligent Key system

operation.

Be sure to read the following before using the

Intelligent Key system.

CAUTION

. Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key

with you when operating the vehi-

cle.

. Never leave the Intelligent Key in

the vehicle when you leave the

vehicle.

. The Intelligent Key is always communicating

with the vehicle as it receives radio waves.

The Intelligent Key system transmits weak

radio waves. Environmental conditions may

interfere with the operation of the Intelligent

Key system under the following operating

conditions. In such cases, correct the

operating conditions before using the In-

telligent Key function or use the mechanical

key.

When operating near a location where

strong radio waves are transmitted, such

as a TV tower, power station and broad-

casting station.

When closing the trunk, lower the trunk lid and

press it until it is securely locked in place. The

strap *A (except for carbon trunk lid models) or

the handle *B (for carbon trunk lid models) can

be used when the trunk lid is dirty.

NOTICE

. Open and close the trunk without

grasping the rear spoiler. Grasping

the rear spoiler to open or close the

trunk may damage the spoiler.

. Do not leave the key inside the

trunk.

NOTE:

. To prevent the Intelligent Key from

being accidentally locked in the trunk,

lockout protection is equipped with the

Intelligent Key system. When the trunk

lid is closed with the Intelligent Key

inside the trunk, the outside buzzer will

sound and the trunk will open.

. The trunk of this vehicle is slightly

more difficult to close than an ordinary

vehicle (particularly when the vehicle is

new). This is because the trunk rigidity

has been increased to handle the high

load on the rear spoiler during vehicle

operation. This does not indicate that

there is a malfunction. Check that the

trunk is securely locked.

The fuel-filler door is located on the right and

rear side of the vehicle.

WARNING

. Gasoline is extremely flammable

and highly explosive under certain

conditions. You could be burned or

seriously injured if it is misused or

mishandled. Always stop engine

and do not smoke or allow open

flames or sparks near the vehicle

when refueling.

. 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.

. Use only an original equipment type

fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It

has a built-in safety valve needed

for proper operation of the fuel

system and emission control sys-

tem. An incorrect cap can result in a

serious malfunction and possible

injury. It could also cause the mal-

function indicator light to come on.

. Never pour fuel into the throttle

body to attempt to start your vehi-

cle.

. Do not fill a portable fuel container

in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec-

tricity can cause an explosion of

flammable liquid, vapor or gas in

any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the

risk of serious injury or death when

filling portable fuel containers:

Always place the container on

the ground when filling.

Do not use electronic devices

when filling.

Keep the pump nozzle in contact

with the container while you are

filling it.

Use only approved portable fuel

containers for flammable liquid.

NOTICE

. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,

flush it away with water to avoid

paint damage.

. Insert the cap straight into the fuel-

filler tube, then tighten until the

fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to tight-

en the fuel-filler cap properly may

cause the Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) to illuminate. If the

light illuminates because the fuel-

filler cap is loose or missing, tighten

or install the cap and continue to

drive the vehicle. The light

should turn off after a few driving

trips. If the light does not turn

off after a few driving trips, it is

recommended you have the vehicle

inspected by a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer.

( Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL) page 2-32)

. This vehicle includes a system that

can supply fuel even during high-G

(gravity) turns. The fuel tank pres-

sure is higher when the vehicle is

hot. 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.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use of the Rear-

View Monitor system could result in

serious injury or death.

. The RearView Monitor is a conve-

nience but it is not a substitute for

proper backing. Always turn and

look out the windows, and check

mirrors to be sure that it is safe to

move before operating the vehicle.

Always back up slowly.

. The system is designed as an aid to

the driver in showing large station-

ary objects directly behind the vehi-

cle, to help avoid damaging the

vehicle.

. The distance guide line and the

vehicle width line should be used

as a reference only when the vehicle

is on a level paved surface. The

distance viewed on the monitor is

for reference only and may be

different than the actual distance

between the vehicle and displayed

objects.

CAUTION

Do not scratch the camera lens when

cleaning dirt or snow from the front of

the camera.

The RearView Monitor system automatically

shows a rear view of the vehicle when the shift

lever is placed in the &R position.

GUID-1CB354FF-CB21-4C73-B70E-AFB9E2916D3E

WARNING

. Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the support

of others alone in your vehicle. Pets

should not be left alone either. They

could accidentally injure themselves

or others through inadvertent op-

eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,

sunny days, temperatures in a

closed vehicle could quickly become

high enough to cause severe or

possibly fatal injuries to people or

animals.

. Closely supervise children when

they are around cars to prevent

them from playing and becoming

locked in the trunk where they could

be seriously injured. Keep the car

locked, with the rear seatback and

trunk lid securely latched when not

in use, and prevent childrens access

to car keys.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide) GUID-C4169681-307E-40B5-A630-3CDCBC8979B6

WARNING

. Do not breathe exhaust gases; they

contain colorless and odorless car-

bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is

dangerous. It can cause uncon-

sciousness or death.

. If you suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering the vehicle, drive with

all windows fully open, and have the

vehicle inspected immediately.

. Do not run the engine in closed

spaces such as a garage.

. Do not park the vehicle with the

engine running for any extended

length of time.

. Keep the trunk lid closed while

driving, otherwise exhaust gases

could be drawn into the passenger

compartment. If you must drive with

the trunk lid open, follow these

precautions:

a. Open all the windows.

b. Set the air recirculation to

off and the fan control to high to

circulate the air.

. The exhaust system and body

should be inspected by a qualified

mechanic whenever:

The vehicle is raised for service.

You suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering into the passenger

compartment.

You notice a change in the

sound of the exhaust system.

You have had an accident invol-

ving damage to the exhaust

system, underbody, or rear of

the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYST GUID-C6C2AC5C-58D1-4557-AB2B-17AA4021BD05

The three-way catalyst is an emission control

device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust

gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at

high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.

5-4 Starting and driving

WARNING

. The exhaust gas and the exhaust

system are very hot. Keep people,

animals or flammable materials

away from the exhaust system com-

ponents.

. Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry

grass, waste paper or rags. They

may ignite and cause a fire.

NOTICE

. Do not use leaded gasoline. Depos-

its from leaded gasoline seriously

reduce the three-way catalysts abil-

ity to help reduce exhaust pollu-

tants.

. Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-

functions in the ignition, fuel injec-

tion, or electrical systems can cause

overrich fuel flow into the three-way

catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do

not keep driving if the engine mis-

fires, or if noticeable loss of perfor-

mance or other unusual operating

conditions are detected. It is recom-

mended you have the vehicle in-

spected promptly by a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer.

. Avoid driving with an extremely low

fuel level. Running out of fuel could

cause the engine to misfire, dama-

ging the three-way catalyst.

. Do not race the engine while warm-

ing it up.

. Do not push or tow your vehicle to

start the engine.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING

SYSTEM (TPMS) GUID-90024E82-FB34-427B-AB7F-4FE62719A8F1

Each tire should be checked monthly when cold

and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-

mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If

your vehicle has tires of a different size than the

size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label, you should determine

the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has

been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire

pressure telltale when one or more of your tires

is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when

the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you

should stop and check your tires as soon as

possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-

sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire

causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire

failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-

ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the

vehicles handling and stopping ability.

If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat

tires, the low tire pressure warning light will

illuminate continuously and a chime will sound

for 10 seconds. The chime will only sound at the

first indication of a flat tire, and the warning light

will illuminate continuously. When the flat tire

warning is activated, it is recommended you

have the system reset and the tire checked and

replaced if necessary by a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer. Even if the tire is inflated to

the specified COLD tire pressure, the warning

light will continue to illuminate until the system is

reset by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Your

vehicle can be driven for a limited time on a flat

tire. ( Run-flat tires page 8-39)

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for

proper tire maintenance, and it is the drivers

responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,

even if under-inflation has not reached the level

to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire

(225,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a

TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the

system is not operating properly. The TPMS

malfunction indicator is combined with the low

tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a

malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-

mately one minute and then remain continuously

illuminated. This sequence will continue upon

subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the

malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi-

cator is illuminated, the system may not be able

to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of

reasons, including the installation of replace-

ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle

that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale

after replacing one or more tires or wheels on

your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or

alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to

continue to function properly.

Additional information GUID-853D6301-F8DB-4961-A1F9-51FC1CE15E41

. The TPMS will activate only when the

vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH

(25 km/h). Also, this system may not detect

a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a

flat tire while driving).

. The low tire pressure warning light does not

automatically turn off when the tire pressure

is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the

recommended pressure, the vehicle must be

driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h)

to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire

pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure

gauge to check the tire pressure.

. The TIRE LOW PRESSURE - VISIT DEAL-

ER warning appears in the vehicle informa-

tion display when the low tire pressure

warning light is illuminated and low tire

pressure is detected. The TIRE LOW

PRESSURE - VISIT DEALER warning turns

off when the low tire pressure warning light

turns off.

The TIRE LOW PRESSURE - VISIT DEAL-

ER warning appears each time the ignition

switch is placed in the ON position as long

as the low tire pressure warning light

remains illuminated.

The TIRE LOW PRESSURE - VISIT DEAL-

ER warning does not appear if the low tire

pressure warning light illuminates to indicate

a TPMS malfunction.

. The FLAT TIRE - VISIT DEALER warning

appears in the vehicle information display

when the low tire pressure warning light is

illuminated and one or more flat tires are

detected.

. Tire pressure rises and falls depending on

the heat caused by the vehicles operation

and the outside temperature. Do not reduce

the tire pressure after driving because the

tire pressure rises after driving. Low outside

temperature can lower the temperature of

the air inside the tire which can cause a

lower tire inflation pressure. Altitude can

also affect tire pressure. These may cause

the low tire pressure warning light to

illuminate. If the warning light illuminates,

check the tire pressure for all four tires.

. GT-R vehicles are delivered from the factory

with nitrogen-filled tires. For best perfor-

mance, NISSAN recommends that GT-R

owners maintain their vehicles by using

nitrogen for tire inflation. Because nitrogen

is more stable than compressed air, it is less

prone to pressure fluctuation resulting from

temperature variations. If nitrogen is not

available, compressed air may be safely

5-6 Starting and driving

used under normal driving conditions. How-

ever, NISSAN recommends refilling with

Nitrogen for maximum tire performance.

. The Tire and Loading Information label (also

referred to as the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label) is located in the

drivers door opening.

. You can also check the pressure of all tires

on the touch screen display. Refer to the

separate Multi Function Display Owners

Manual.

. The tire pressure sensor should be reset

anytime the wheels or tires are removed or

replaced.

. If the tire is removed in order to replace the

tire pressure sensor battery, it may not be

possible to reuse the removed tire from the

wheel. To replace the tire pressure sensor

battery, it is recommended you contact a

GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

. If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates while driving, avoid sud-

den steering maneuvers or abrupt

braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull

off the road to a safe location and

stop the vehicle as soon as possi-

ble. Driving with under-inflated tires

may permanently damage the tires

and increase the likelihood of tire

failure. Serious vehicle damage

could occur and may lead to an

accident and could result in serious

personal injury. Check the tire pres-

sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire

pressure to the recommended COLD

tire pressure shown on the Tire and

Loading Information label to turn

the low tire pressure warning light

off. If the light still illuminates while

driving after adjusting the tire pres-

sure, a tire may be flat ( Run-

flat tires page 6-4) or the TPMS

may be malfunctioning. If no tire is

flat and all tires are properly in-

flated, have the vehicle checked by a

GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

. Although you can continue driving

with a punctured run-flat tire, re-

member that vehicle handling sta-

bility is reduced, which could lead to

an accident and personal injury.

Also, driving a long distance at high

speeds may damage the tires.

. Do not drive at speeds above 50

MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive

more than 50 miles (80 km) with a

punctured run-flat tire. The actual

distance the vehicle can be driven

on a flat tire depends on outside

temperature, vehicle load, road con-

ditions and other factors.

. When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS

will not function and the low tire

pressure warning light will flash for

approximately 1 minute. The light

will remain on after 1 minute. It is

recommended you contact your

GT-R certified NISSAN dealer as

soon as possible for tire replace-

ment and/or system resetting.

. Replacing tires with those not ori-

ginally specified by NISSAN could

affect the proper operation of the

TPMS.

. Do not inject any tire liquid or

aerosol tire sealant into the tires,

as this may cause a malfunction of

the tire pressure sensors.

(227,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

NOTICE

. The TPMS may not function properly

when the wheels are equipped with

tire chains or the wheels are buried

in snow.

. The TPMS may not function properly

if the TPMS sensor is not reset and

when wheels/tires from another

GT-R are installed on your vehicle.

. The TPMS will not function properly

if non-GT-R wheels are installed on

the vehicle.

. Do not place metalized film or any

metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the

windows. This may cause poor re-

ception of the signals from the tire

pressure sensors, and the TPMS will

not function properly.

Some devices and transmitters may temporarily

interfere with the operation of the TPMS and

cause the low tire pressure warning light to

illuminate. Some examples are:

. Facilities or electric devices using similar

radio frequencies are near the vehicle.

. If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is

being used in or near the vehicle.

. If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/

AC converter is being used in or near the

vehicle.

Low tire pressure warning light may illuminate in

the following cases.

. If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and

tire without TPMS.

. If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID

has not been registered.

. If the wheel is not originally specified by

NISSAN.

AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLL-

OVER GUID-913B0D8D-4751-49E4-80B9-76CC94349D67

WARNING

Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe

and prudent manner may result in loss

of control or an accident.

Be alert and drive defensively at all times. Obey

all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed,

high speed cornering, or sudden steering

maneuvers, because these driving practices

could cause you to lose control of your vehicle.

As with any vehicle, a loss of control could

result in a collision with other vehicles or

objects, or cause the vehicle to rollover,

particularly if the loss of control causes the

vehicle to slide sideways. Be attentive at all

times, and avoid driving when tired. Never drive

when under the influence of alcohol or drugs

5-8 Starting and driving

(including prescription or over-the-counter

drugs which may cause drowsiness). Always

wear your seat belt as outlined in this manual,

and also instruct your passengers to do so.

( Seat belts page 1-6)

Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in

collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash, an

unbelted or improperly belted person is

significantly more likely to be injured or

killed than a person properly wearing a

seat belt.

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY GUID-AFBBC024-23B2-4CAC-81A6-62534568AD10

While driving, the right side or left side wheels

may unintentionally leave the road surface. If this

occurs, maintain control of the vehicle by

following the procedure below. Please note that

this procedure is only a general guide. The

vehicle must be driven as appropriate based on

the conditions of the vehicle, road and traffic.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Do not apply the brakes.

3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel

with both hands and try to hold a straight

course.

4. When appropriate, slowly release the accel-

erator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle.

5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the

vehicle to follow the road while the vehicle

speed is reduced. Do not attempt to drive

the vehicle back onto the road surface until

vehicle speed is reduced.

6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn the

steering wheel until both tires return to the

road surface. When all tires are on the road

surface, steer the vehicle to stay in the

appropriate driving lane. . If you decide that it is not safe to return

the vehicle to the road surface based on

vehicle, road or traffic conditions, gradu-

ally slow the vehicle to a stop in a safe

place off the road.

RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS GUID-4539FB86-2F6F-43A9-89F3-E5978DB523C3

Rapid air pressure loss or a blow-out can

occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged due

to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air pressure

loss can also be caused by driving on under-

inflated tires.

Rapid air pressure loss can affect the handling

and stability of the vehicle, especially at highway

speeds.

Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by main-

taining the correct air pressure and visually

inspect the tires for wear and damage.

( Wheels and tires page 8-32)

If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or blows-out

while driving maintain control of the vehicle by

following the procedure below. Please note that

this procedure is only a general guide. The

vehicle must be driven as appropriate based on

the conditions of the vehicle, road and traffic.

WARNING

The following actions can increase the

chance of losing control of the vehicle if

there is a sudden loss of tire air

pressure. Losing control of the vehicle

may cause a collision and result in

personal injury.

. The vehicle generally moves or pulls

in the direction of the flat tire.

. Do not rapidly apply the brakes.

. Do not rapidly release the accelera-

tor pedal.

. Do not rapidly turn the steering

wheel.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel

with both hands and try to hold a straight

course.

3. When appropriate, slowly release the accel-

erator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle.

(229,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe location

off the road and away from traffic if possible.

5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradually

stop the vehicle.

6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and

contact a roadside emergency service to

change the tire.

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND

DRIVING GUID-D40A9B53-32EA-4196-9F25-3C6BB46498B3

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of

alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-

stream reduces coordination, delays

reaction time and impairs judgement.

Driving after drinking alcohol increases

the likelihood of being involved in an

accident injuring yourself and others.

Additionally, if you are injured in an

accident, alcohol can increase the se-

verity of the injury.

NISSAN is committed to safe driving. However,

you must choose not to drive under the influence

of alcohol. Every year thousands of people are

injured or killed in alcohol-related accidents.

Although the local laws vary on what is

considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is

that alcohol affects all people differently and

most people underestimate the effects of

alcohol.

Remember, drinking and driving dont mix! And

that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter,

prescription, and illegal drugs). Dont drive if

your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by

alcohol, drugs, or some other physical condition.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS GUID-1CCF4F08-164B-4A8B-9000-1004F7B3662C

WARNING

. Do not drive beyond the perfor-

mance capability of the tires, even

with AWD engaged. Accelerating

quickly, sharp steering maneuvers

or sudden braking may cause loss

of control.

. Always use the specified tires on all

four wheels. Install tire chains on

the rear wheels when driving on

slippery roads and drive carefully.

. This vehicle is not designed for

offroad (rough road) use. Do not

drive on sandy or muddy roads that

tires may get stuck in.

. Do not attempt to raise two wheels

off the ground and shift the trans-

mission to any &A&M or &R position

with the engine running. Doing so

may result in drivetrain damage or

unexpected vehicle movement

which could result in serious vehicle

damage or personal injury.

. Do not attempt to test an AWD

equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dy-

namometer, (such as the dynam-

ometers used by some states for

emissions testing), or similar equip-

ment even if the other two wheels

are raised off the ground. Make sure

you inform test facility personnel

that your vehicle is equipped with

AWD before it is placed on a

dynamometer. Using the wrong test

equipment may result in drivetrain

damage or unexpected vehicle

movement which could result in

serious vehicle damage or personal

injury.

. When a wheel is off the ground due

to an unlevel surface, do not spin

the wheel excessively.

short period of time may make the

vehicle more difficult to start. If this

occurs, wait for more than 3 minutes,

and then push the ignition switch again

to start the engine.

. To maintain high performance over a

long period of time, the engine speed is

limited to 4,300 rpm when the engine is

revved with the shift lever in the &N or

&P position, and to 4,000 rpm when the

engine oil or coolant temperature is

low or higher than normal.

. If the ignition switch is pushed before

the shift lever is moved to the &P position, the ignition switch will not

change to the OFF position. If this

occurs, the SHIFT &P warning display

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION GUID-EF73F647-57A7-4D25-8CAB-1DE00CA6A167

The GT-R dual clutch transmission is a newly-

developed system that uses an electronically

controlled multiple-disc wet clutch attached to

the highly efficient manual transmission. This

transmission has two driving modes.

. &A position (Automatic gearshift):

allows automatic shifting of the manual

transmission.

. &M position (Manual gearshift):

allows quick shifting of the manual transmis-

sion.

NOTE:

When starting or driving on a steep uphill

grade, shift to the &M position and operate

the paddle shifter to shift down to 1st gear

similar to a manual transmission vehicle.

The GT-R dual clutch transmission was devel-

oped specifically to maximize vehicle perfor-

mance and driving enjoyment. The GT-R

transmission components were designed using

different engineering standards than typical

passenger car transmissions. Because of this,

the GT-R has different operating characteristics,

and various rattle noises may be heard during

some driving conditions because of the follow-

ing items:

. Gear clearances

. Ultralight flywheel

. Dry sump lubrication

These noises do not indicate that there is a

malfunction.

WARNING

. Do not depress the accelerator

pedal while shifting from the &P or

&N position to the &R or &A&M position. Always depress the brake

pedal until shifting is completed.

Failure to do so could cause loss

of control and an accident.

. Cold engine idle speed is high, so

use caution when shifting into a

forward or reverse gear before the

engine has warmed up.

. Never shift to either the &P or &R position while the vehicle is moving

forward and &P or &A&M position

while the vehicle is reversing. This

could cause an accident or damage

the transmission.

. The shift lever contains a powerful

magnet. Do not place electronic

medical devices or other electronic

products that are susceptible to

magnetic force close to the shift

. Do not downshift abruptly on slip-

pery roads. This may cause a loss of

control.

. If the shift lever is moved from &R to

&A&M position, or &A&M to &R position 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 automati-

cally controls the clutch and shifting

operation of the manual transmis-

sion, whenever the shift lever is in a

position other than &P or &N , 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 circum-

stances the vehicle may not start

moving on its own, however this

does not indicate that there is a

malfunction.

NOTICE

. When the vehicle is stopped on a

hill, do not hold the vehicle in place

by depressing the accelerator pedal.

Doing so may cause the clutch to

overheat and result in transmission

damage. Use the brakes to prevent

the vehicle from moving.

. The GT-R dual clutch transmission 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 transmission temperature is low

(approximately 1048F (408C), do not

accelerate rapidly or run the engine

faster than 4,000 rpm.

CAUTION

. Grip the shift lever correctly when

operating it. Failure to do so may

cause a finger or other items to be

trapped between the lever and gate,

possibly causing an accident.

. Because rolling resistance is re-

duced in the GT-R, the vehicle can

move when on a road with a slight

gradient, even when in the &N posi-

tion. Be sure to depress the brake

pedal.

NOTICE

. Be sure to observe the following

precautions. Failure to do so may

result in shift lever malfunction.

Do not spill water, beverages or

other liquids on the shift lever.

Do not allow sand or similar

substances to contact the shift

lever.

. Develop the habit of performing the

operations marked with with-

out pressing the button. If the

button is pressed at these times,

there is the possibility that the lever

could accidentally enter the &P or &R positions.

. When the vehicle is hot, the area

around the shift lever may be hot or

may produce an unusual sound,

however this does not indicate that

there is a malfunction.

. Avoid depressing the brake and

accelerator pedals at the same time.

Depressing both pedals at the same

time could cause the clutch to over-

heat and accelerate deterioration.

NOTE:

. When moving the shift lever out of the

&P position, it may not be possible to

move the shift lever if the button is

pressed before the brake pedal is

depressed. Press the button only after

depressing the brake pedal.

. Do not place coins or other small

objects in the area around the shift

lever. These objects may get stuck in

the shift gate and prevent the shift

lever from moving into a position.

Sometimes, you may not be able to

retrieve these objects.

. Immediately after a cold start, while the

transmission system check display (T/

M SYSTEM CHECK IN PROCESS)

appears on the vehicle information

display, the shift lever cannot be moved

out of the &P position. This is because a

check of the transmission system is in

Control on uphill and curving roads: GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9

A low gear is maintained that suits the degree of

the slope or curve to allow smooth driving with a

small number of shifts.

Control on downhill roads: GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9

The adaptive shift control system shifts to a low

gear that suits the degree of the slope, and uses

the engine brake to reduce the number of times

that the foot brake must be used.

Control on winding roads: GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9

A low gear is maintained on continuous curves

that involve repeated acceleration and decelera-

tion, so that smooth acceleration is available

instantly when the accelerator pedal is de-

pressed.

To change to the &M position from the &A position, either move the shift lever to the &M

side or operate the paddle shifter. The position

indicator indicates the gear position with the

indication of M.

If the paddle shifter is used, in one operation the

&A position changes to the &M position and the

gear position shifts (except for downshifting

from 2nd gear to 1st gear). For the downshift

operation from the 2nd gear to the 1st gear, the

first paddle shifter operation changes the &A position to the &M position, and the second

operation changes the gear position.

To return to the &A position, either move the shift

lever to the &M side again or pull the right side

(up sift side) paddle shifter for approximately 2

seconds. The position indicator indicates the

speed.

. If the transmission is frequently changing

gears while driving, switch to the &M position

and select the appropriate gear for the

driving conditions.

Driving on a downhill: GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9

. &A position:

The system shifts down according to the degree

of downhills to increase the effectiveness of the

engine brake.

. &M position:

When driving on a long slope, selecting the &M position and 4th or 3rd gear will provide gentle

engine braking.

When driving on a steep downhill, selecting the

&M position and 2nd or 1st gear will provide

powerful engine braking.

(243,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

WARNING

. When the shift lever is in the &A position, the adaptive shift control

system will stay in a low gear in

order to maintain the effectiveness

of the engine brake. However if the

vehicle is traveling too fast depend-

ing on the degree of the slope, you

should shift to the &M position and

use the paddle shifter to shift down.

If you continue to use only the foot

brake, a high load will be applied to

the brake, which may overheat,

reducing its effectiveness. Be sure

to use the engine brake together

with the foot brake. ( Adaptive

shift control page 5-19)

. Do not downshift abruptly on slip-

pery roads. This may cause a loss of

control.

NOTICE

When driving in the &A position, gear-

shifting will be performed automatically

with the adaptive shift control system

( Adaptive shift control page 5-

19) even on road conditions with con-

tinuous and sudden hills or curves.

However, when the transmission oil

temperature is low immediately after

starting the vehicle or high when enga-

ging in high performance driving, there

may be some cases where the system

cannot control shifting. When this oc-

curs, switch to the &M position and

select a lower gear, depending on the

gradient of the hill.

When stopping the vehicle GUID-60A1F8DB-465D-47FF-8F1C-5022D7D7821A

Leave the shift lever in the &A&M or &R position

and firmly depress the foot brake pedal.

If the vehicle will be stopped for a long period of

time, apply the parking brake and move the shift

lever to the &P or &N position as necessary.

WARNING

. Do not race the engine while the

vehicle is stopped. Doing so may

accelerate the vehicle suddenly and

cause an accident when shifting to a

driving gear.

. While the engine is running, the

propeller shaft that transmits torque

from the engine to the transmission

is turning at all times. Crawling or

reaching under the vehicle while the

engine is running may result in

serious injury.

NOTICE

When the vehicle is stopped on a hill,

do not hold the vehicle in place by

depressing the accelerator pedal. Doing

so may cause the clutch to overheat and

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 effec-

tiveness of the brake system which

could cause a collision, serious perso-

nal injury or death.

The GT-R uses brake pad materials that have

high metallic content. The brake pad material

helps maintain braking performance in a wide

range of weather and driving conditions.

For the first 3,000 miles (5,000 km) of the

vehicles service life, and for the first 3,000 miles

(5,000km) after a brake replacement, the brake

pad to brake rotor clearance is very small. When

parking, apply the parking brake and move the

shift lever to the &P position. Idle the engine for

more than 20 seconds without depressing the

brake pedal. This allows the brake pads to move

away from the rotor so the pad does not contact

the rotor.

Additionally, the brakes must be dry before

parking the vehicle after driving on wet roads or

after washing the vehicle. If the roads are wet,

lightly apply the brakes for a short distance

before parking the vehicle to dry the brakes.

After washing the vehicle, dry the brakes by

driving on a dry road for a few miles and apply

the brakes normally based on traffic and road

conditions.

The metallic brake pads and brake disc rotor

may rust together when the brakes are not

applied:

. If the vehicle is not idled for 20 seconds

without the brakes applied, or if the brakes

are applied when the vehicle is shut off, the

rotor and pads can rust together, even when

the brake pads are dry.

. If the brakes are wet when the vehicle is

parked and the parking brake is applied for a

long time.

It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer if the brake pads and brake rotor

have rusted together.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

2. With the foot brake pedal depressed, apply

the parking brake.

3. Move the shift lever to the &P position.

4. Check the shift lever position indicator on

the meter to confirm that the &P position is

selected.

5. Push the ignition switch to stop the engine.

WARNING

Before exiting the vehicle, be sure to

move the shift lever to the &P position

and stop the engine. If the engine is

running and the shift lever is not in the

&P position, the vehicle may start mov-

ing due to partial engagement of the

clutch or to the effects of gravity on a

slope, or the vehicle may suddenly

accelerate due to accidental operation

of the accelerator pedal, possibly caus-

ing an accident.

The turbocharger system uses engine oil for

lubrication and cooling of its rotating compo-

nents. The turbocharger turbine turns at extre-

mely high speeds and it can get very hot. It is

essential to maintain a supply of oil flowing

through the turbocharger system. Therefore, a

sudden interruption of oil supply may cause a

malfunction in the turbocharger.

To ensure prolonged life and performance of the

turbocharger, it is essential to perform the

following maintenance procedure:

. Change your engine oil according to the

recommended intervals shown in the sepa-

rate Service and Maintenance Guide. Use

only the recommended engine oil.

. If the engine had been operating at high

engine speed for an extended period of time,

let it idle for a few minutes prior to shut-

down.

. Do not accelerate your engine to high

engine speed immediately after start.

NOTICE

. This vehicle includes spark plugs

that are designed for high perfor-

mance. For this reason, if the engine

is repeatedly started and stopped

over a short time, the spark plugs

may become fouled, making the

engine difficult to start. To prevent

diminished starting performance,

avoid starting and stopping the

engine repeatedly during a short

period of time.

NOTE:

. When the vehicle is delivered, the

engine oil level is 0.39 in (10 mm)

below the H mark on the engine oil

dipstick for optimum high performance

driving. The engine oil can be filled up

to the H mark if not engaging in

performance driving.

. Because of the high performance char-

acteristics of the GT-R engine, more

frequent oil level inspections are ne-

cessary. Check the oil level every 1,800

miles (3,000km) and adjust as neces-

sary. Also, change the engine oil based

on the driving conditions. For the

information regarding oil replacement

intervals, refer to the 2017 NISSAN

GT-R Service and Maintenance Guide.

This function enables the driver to start accel-

eration from a stop by selecting R mode with the

VDC and transmission setup switch. The engine

output will be maintained at approximately 4,000

rpm. When using the R mode or the R mode

start function, always use proper seating posi-

tion and follow the safety instructions in Section

1 of this manual.

WARNING

. Failure to follow the warnings and

instruction for the use of this fea-

ture may cause a loss of vehicle

control or a collision which may lead

to serious personal injury or death:

. Make sure to drive carefully within

legal limits.

. Only use this function when you can

guarantee that it is safe to do so,

based on the surrounding traffic

conditions.

. Do not use this function on slippery

or wet roads. This may cause loss of

vehicle control and could result in

an accident.

. The R mode start function has been

developed not only for controlling

the engine, transmission and VDC

system, but also the settings of the

suspension and tires. Therefore, any

modification of the vehicle may

disrupt the vehicles balance. This

will not only reduce the optimum

performance of the vehicle but may

also cause damage to powertrain

components, including the trans-

mission.

NOTICE

. When the temperature of the engine

coolant and transmission oil is high

or low, the function cannot be used.

the engine output in response to the

outside temperature. (This vehicle

was set up according to the road

surface conditions of the straight

sections of the Sendai Highland

Raceway course in Japan at 598F

(158C).)

. 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 more quickly.

NOTICE

Follow these recommendations to ob-

tain maximum engine performance and

ensure the future reliability and econo-

my of your new vehicle. Failure to

follow these recommendations may

result in shortened engine life and

reduced vehicle performance.

Please observe the following types of driving

until the mileage shown below has been

reached.

Until 300 miles (500 km):

. Do not depress the accelerator pedal more

than halfway and avoid rapid acceleration.

. Drive with the engine speed kept at less

than 3,500 RPM.

. Avoid unnecessary quick steering, abrupt

braking and driving on poor roads.

300 to 600 miles (500 to 1,000 km):

. Avoid rapid acceleration in a low gear (1st to

3rd gears) with the accelerator pedal fully

depressed. Depress the pedal slowly.

. Avoid unnecessary quick steering and

abrupt braking.

. Drive with the suspension setup switch in

the COMF mode to allow more suspension

stroke.

600 to 1,200 miles (1,000 to 2,000 km):

. Drive with the engine speed kept relatively

high with the shift lever in the &M position.

Shifting is recommended between 1st and

4th gears.

. Avoid unnecessary quick steering and

abrupt braking.

. Drive with the suspension setup switch in

the COMF mode to allow more suspension

stroke.

Even though the mileage reaches over 1,200

miles (2,000 km), the clutch may take longer to

properly engage if the vehicle is mainly driven in

town at a low speed. NISSAN recommends

breaking in the clutch at a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT GUID-521F5854-07A2-4AA7-8ABC-458B6FD6D6B7

Do not adjust the wheel alignment until the

mileage reaches 1,000 miles (1,600 km). Until

then, the suspension may not engage enough

and the height may be higher.

However, make sure to adjust the alignment

after 1,000 miles (1,600 km).

The wheel alignment can be adjusted by a GT-R

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving

Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy

from your vehicle.

1. Use smooth accelerator and brake pedal

application. . Avoid rapid starts and stops. . Use smooth, gentle accelerator and

brake application whenever possible. . Maintain constant speed while commut-

ing and coast whenever possible.

2. Maintain constant speed.

. Look ahead to try and anticipate and

minimize stops.

. Synchronizing your speed with traffic

lights allows you to reduce your number

of stops.

. Maintaining a steady speed can minimize

red light stops and improve fuel effi-

ciency.

3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at higher vehicle

speeds.

. Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to open windows to cool the

vehicle due to reduced engine load.

. Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle

due to increased aerodynamic drag.

. Recirculating the cool air in the cabin

when the A/C is on reduces cooling load.

4. Drive at economical speeds and distances.

. Observing the speed limit and not

exceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where

legally allowed) can improve fuel effi-

ciency due to reduced aerodynamic

drag.

. Maintaining a safe following distance

behind other vehicles reduces unneces-

sary braking.

. Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate

changes in speed permits reduced brak-

ing and smooth acceleration changes.

. Select a gear range suitable to road

conditions.

5. Use cruise control.

. Using cruise control during highway

driving helps maintain a steady speed.

. Cruise control is particularly effective in

providing fuel savings when driving on

flat terrains.

6. Plan for the shortest route.

. Utilize a map or navigation system to

determine the best route to save time.

7. Avoid idling.

. Shutting off your engine when safe for

stops exceeding 30-60 seconds saves

fuel and reduces emissions.

FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS

(261,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.

. Automated passes permit drivers to use

special lanes to maintain cruising speed

through the toll and avoid stopping and

starting.

9. Winter warm up.

. Limit idling time to minimize impact to

fuel economy.

. Vehicles typically need no more than 30

seconds of idling at start-up to effectively

circulate the engine oil before driving.

. Your vehicle will reach its ideal operating

temperature more quickly while driving

versus idling.

10. Keeping your vehicle cool.

. Park your vehicle in a covered parking

area or in the shade whenever possible.

. When entering a hot vehicle, opening the

windows will help to reduce the inside

temperature faster, resulting in reduced

demand on your A/C system.

GUID-0C2A7C1B-4CDD-47C7-8EEE-1EAF51587F4E

. Keep your engine tuned up.

. Follow the recommended scheduled main-

tenance.

. Keep the tires inflated to the correct

pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire

wear and lowers fuel economy.

. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear and

lowers fuel economy.

. Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

5-42 Starting and driving

If any malfunction occurs in the AWD system

while the engine is running, the warning light will

come on.

The warning light may blink rapidly (about twice

per second) while trying to free a stuck vehicle

due to high AWD clutch temperature. The

driving mode may change to two-wheel drive.

If the warning light blinks rapidly during opera-

tion, stop the vehicle with the engine idling in a

safe place immediately. Then if the light goes off

after a while, you can continue driving.

A large difference between the diameters of

front and rear wheels will make the warning light

blink slowly (about once per two seconds). Pull

off the road in a safe area, and idle the engine.

Check that all tire sizes are the same, tire

pressure is correct and tires are not worn and

winter tires are not installed on the front or rear

wheels only.

If the warning light is blinking after the above

operation, it is recommended you have your

vehicle checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer as soon as possible.

If non-genuine GT-R tires are used, the warning

light may illuminate. ( GT-R special pre-

cautions page GTR-5)

WARNING

. Do not attempt to raise two wheels

off the ground and shift the trans-

mission to any drive or reverse

position with the engine running.

Doing so may result in drivetrain

damage or unexpected vehicle

movement which could result in

serious vehicle damage or personal

injury.

. Do not attempt to test an AWD

equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dy-

namometer (such as the dynam-

ometers used by some states for

emissions testing) or similar equip-

ment even if the other two wheels

are raised off the ground. Make sure

that you inform the test facility

personnel that your vehicle is

equipped with AWD before it is

placed on a dynamometer. Using

the wrong test equipment may re-

sult in drivetrain damage or unex-

pected vehicle movement which

could result in serious vehicle da-

mage or personal injury.

NOTICE

. If the warning light comes on while

driving there may be a malfunction

in the AWD system. Reduce the

vehicle speed and it is recom-

mended you have your vehicle

checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer as soon as possible.

. If the warning light remains on after

the above operation, it is recom-

mended you have your vehicle

checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer as soon as possible.

. The powertrain may be damaged if

you continue driving with the warn-

ing light blinking.

. Do not spin the rear wheels while

driving. Spinning the rear wheels

may increase the temperatures of

the AWD clutch system and damage

the system. Adjust the accelerator

pedal position to stop wheel spin.

TIGHT CORNER BRAKING PHE-

NOMENON GUID-1A27E22E-DFCE-4A37-87A5-5B6E52FE9B38

If the steering wheel is turned more than half a

turn when the vehicle is started when it is cold, it

may be harder to move the vehicle forward and

backward. This phenomenon is known as the

tight corner braking phenomenon.

This phenomenon is unique to AWD vehicles,

and occurs due to a difference in speeds

between the front and rear wheels while the

vehicle is turning. This does not indicate that

there is a malfunction.

NOTE:

If the tight corner braking phenomenon

occurs, a slipping sound may be heard

from the tires, or a squeaking sound may

be heard from the drive system.

Reducing tight corner braking phe-

nomenon GUID-BA737537-EE7C-4157-9184-AAED4280FA70

The tight corner braking phenomenon can be

reduced if the following three conditions are

met:

. Transmission setup switch is set to Normal

mode.

. Vehicle speed is low (less than approxi-

mately 6 MPH (10 km/h)).

. The steering wheel is turned more than 1/2

turn.

TIRES GUID-4607560A-BD7E-4BAE-972E-CBDBA63C2F98

This vehicle is equipped with special tires. When

changing the tires, install the designated special

tires. Replacing tires as a set of four with new

ones is recommended. However, if a tire is

punctured or damaged, it may be possible to

replace only the damaged tire. Determining

whether one tire or a complete set of tires

should be replaced is based on a number of

factors including tire wear and condition. Con-

tact your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. They

can recommend if an individual tire or a

complete set should be replaced.

NOTICE

If tires other than the designated tires,

tires with large differences in wear or

tires of different sizes are installed, the

AWD performance will be degraded and

the drive mechanism may be damaged.

AWD SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS GUID-BB073156-8A99-484C-B5C5-853EDBCA9D09

The AWD system automatically distributes the

optimal torque to the front and rear wheels. This

provides both the superior turning performance

of a rear wheel drive vehicle and the traction of a

AWD vehicle.

Electronic control continuously distributes tor-

que to the front and rear wheels in the range

from 0:100 (rear-wheel drive mode) to 50:50

(all-wheel drive mode) to match the driving

conditions and road conditions. This allows the

engine output (torque) to be effectively trans-

mitted to the road surface.

GUID-91FE12D0-B396-43FF-9FAE-ED6A40FE9DF2

The rear final drive of this vehicle is equipped

with a 1.5-way mechanical Limited Slip Differ-

ential (LSD).

WARNING

Sudden operation of the accelerator

pedal can result in fishtailing or side-

slip, possibly causing an accident. Use

particular caution when driving in rainy

weather or on slippery roads.

NOTICE

Use the designated differential gear oil.

If any oil other than the designated oil

is used, the LSD may not operate

correctly, and noise and vibration may

occur, possibly resulting in a malfunc-

tion.

NOTE:

. If the vehicle accelerates from a stop

with the steering wheel turned in cold

temperatures, the inner wheel tire may

slip and some noise or vibration may

be heard. This phenomenon is unique

to vehicles equipped with the LSD. This

does not indicate that there is a mal-

function.

. The LSD controls the speed difference

between the left and right wheels, and

optimally allocates torque to the

wheels.

. The 1.5-way mechanical LSD in the rear

final drive of this vehicle is character-

ized by its asymmetrical LSD effects

when the accelerator pedal is ON and

when it is OFF. This allows the appro-

priate amount of torque for the driving

environment to be transmitted to the

road surface.

WARNING

. Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry

grass, waste paper or rags. They

may ignite and cause a fire.

. Never leave the engine running

while the vehicle is unattended.

. Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehicle. They could un-

knowingly activate switches or con-

trols. Unattended children could

become involved in serious acci-

dents.

. To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of

the vehicle and/or its systems, do

not leave children, people who re-

quire the assistance of others or

pets unattended in your vehicle.

Additionally, the temperature inside

a closed vehicle on a warm day can

quickly become high enough to

cause a significant risk of injury or

death to people and pets.

. Safe parking procedures require

that both the parking brake be

applied and the transmission placed

into the &P position. Failure to do so

could cause the vehicle to move

unexpectedly or roll away and result

in an accident.

. Make sure the shift lever has been

pushed as far forward as it can go

and cannot be moved without de-

pressing the foot brake pedal.

. 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 cor-

rectly, 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.

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.

2. Move the shift lever to the &P position.

5-46 Starting and driving

3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into

the street when parked on a sloping drive

way, it is a good practice to turn the wheels

as illustrated.

. HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB: *1

Turn the wheels into the curb and move the vehicle forward until the curb side wheel gently touches the curb.

. HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB: *2

Turn the wheels away from the curb and move the vehicle back until the curb side wheel gently touches the curb.

. HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO

CURB: *3

Turn the wheels toward the side of the road so the vehicle will move away from the center of the road if it moves.

4. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK

position.

The GT-R uses brake pad materials that have

high metallic content. The brake pad material

helps maintain braking performance in a wide

range of weather and driving conditions.

For the first 3,000 - 6,000 miles (5,000 -

10,000 km) of the vehicles service life, and for

the first 3,000 - 6,000 miles (5,000 - 10,000

km) after a brake replacement, the brake pad to

brake rotor clearance is very small. When

parking, apply the parking brake and move the

shift lever to the &P position. Idle the engine for

more than 20 seconds without depressing the

brake pedal. This allows the brake pads to move

away from the rotor so the pad does not contact

the rotor.

Additionally, the brakes must be dry before

parking the vehicle after driving on wet roads or

after washing the vehicle. If the roads are wet,

lightly apply the brakes for a short distance

before parking the vehicle to dry the brakes.

After washing the vehicle, dry the brakes by

driving on a dry road for a few miles and apply

the brakes normally based on traffic and road

conditions.

The metallic brake pads and brake disc rotor

may rust together when the brakes are not

applied:

. If the vehicle is not idled for 20 seconds

without the brakes applied, or if the brakes

are applied when the vehicle is shut off, the

rotor and pads can rust together, even when

the brake pads are dry.

. If the brakes are wet when the vehicle is

parked and the parking brake is applied for a

long time.

It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer if the brake pads and brake rotor

have rusted together.

WARNING

. The sonar system is a convenience

but it is not a substitute for proper

parking. Always look around and

check that it is safe to do so before

parking. Always move slowly.

. Read and understand the limita-

tions of the sonar system as con-

tained in this section. Inclement

weather may affect the function of

the sonar system; this may include

reduced performance or a false

activation.

. This system is not designed to

prevent contact with small or mov-

ing objects.

. The system is designed as an aid to

the driver in detecting large station-

ary objects to help avoid damaging

the vehicle. The system will not

detect small objects below the

bumper, and may not detect objects

that are too close to the bumper or

on the ground.

. If your vehicle sustains damage to

the bumper fascia, leaving it mis-

aligned or bent, the sensing zone

may be altered causing inaccurate

measurement of obstacles or false

alarms.

CAUTION

. Keep the interior of the vehicle as

quiet as possible to hear the tone

clearly. Excessive noise (such as

audio system volume or an open

vehicle window) will interfere with

the tone and it may not be heard.

. Keep the sonar (located on the

bumper fascia) free from snow, ice

and large accumulations of dirt (do

not clean the sonar with sharp

objects). If the sonar is covered, it

will affect the accuracy of the sonar

system.

. The sonar system may not operate

correctly if a license plate cover is

installed.

the steering will not work. Steering will

be harder to operate.

The power assisted steering uses a hydraulic

pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering.

If the engine stops or the drive belt breaks, you

will still have control of the vehicle. However,

much greater steering effort is needed, espe-

cially in sharp turns and at low speeds.

BRAKING PRECAUTIONS GUID-F209EBFF-88CC-44EE-ABE8-822DBE9DBFA1

The brake system has two separate hydraulic

circuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still

have braking at two wheels.

You may feel a small click and hear a sound

when the brake pedal is fully depressed slowly.

This is not a malfunction and indicates that the

brake assist mechanism is operating properly.

Vacuum assisted brakes GUID-239D89AF-BF00-4816-8DB1-891B380B4DBE

The brake booster aids braking by using engine

vacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the

vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. However,

greater foot pressure on the brake pedal will be

required to stop the vehicle and the stopping

distance will be longer.

Wet brakes GUID-475A951B-E227-4D35-9BC8-D063394926C3

When the vehicle is washed or driven through

water, the brakes may get wet. As a result, your

braking distance will be longer and the vehicle

may pull to one side during braking.

To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speed

while lightly tapping the brake pedal to heat-up

the brakes. Do this until the brakes return to

normal. Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds

until the brakes function correctly.

Using the brakes GUID-241D4D1E-5878-4FEA-B928-19C4292547F2

Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while

driving. This will cause overheating of the

brakes, wearing out the brake and pads faster

and reduce gas mileage.

To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the

brakes from overheating, reduce speed and

downshift to a lower gear before going down a

slope or long grade. Overheated brakes may

reduce braking performance and could result in

loss of vehicle control.

WARNING

. While driving on a slippery surface,

be careful when braking, accelerat-

ing or downshifting. Abrupt braking

or accelerating could cause the

wheels to skid and result in an

accident.

. If the engine is not running or is

turned off while driving, the power

assist for the brakes will not work.

Braking will be harder.

PARKING BRAKE BREAK-IN GUID-7150C79F-B331-425E-87E0-AD63FA9022B6

Break in the parking brake shoes whenever the

stopping effect of the parking brake is weakened

(ABS) GUID-880D61BF-CE2F-4B51-81CD-698ABEB3F895

WARNING

. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

is a sophisticated device, but it

cannot prevent accidents resulting

from careless or dangerous driving

techniques. It can help maintain

vehicle control during braking on

slippery surfaces. Remember that

stopping distances on slippery sur-

faces will be longer than on normal

surfaces even with ABS. Stopping

distances may also be longer on

rough, gravel or snow covered

roads, or if you are using tire chains.

Always maintain a safe distance

from the vehicle in front of you.

Ultimately, the driver is responsible

for safety.

. Tire type and condition may also

affect braking effectiveness. When

replacing tires, install the specified

size of tires on all four wheels.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls

the brakes so the wheels do not lock during hard

braking or when braking on slippery surfaces.

The system detects the rotation speed at each

wheel and varies the brake fluid pressure to

prevent each wheel from locking and sliding. By

preventing each wheel from locking, the system

helps the driver maintain steering control and

helps to minimize swerving and spinning on

slippery surfaces.

Using the system GUID-6ECE2B5D-7A4F-458B-88D2-671A03E2B8FE

Depress 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.

WARNING

Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so

may result in increased stopping dis-

tances.

Self-test feature GUID-C37F4BC5-8CBA-4D29-801E-112190163058

The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric

pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The

computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that

tests the system each time you start the engine

and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward

or reverse. When the self-test occurs, you may

hear a clunk noise and/or feel a pulsation in the

brake pedal. This does not indicate that there is

a malfunction. If the computer senses a mal-

function, it switches the ABS off and illuminates

the ABS warning light on the meter. The brake

system then operates normally, but without anti-

lock assistance.

If the ABS warning light illuminates during the

self-test or while driving, it is recommended you

have the vehicle checked by a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer.

Normal operation GUID-A2598887-97F1-4229-825A-30AB7D1015CC

The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6 MPH

(5 to 10 km/h). The speed varies according to

road conditions.

When the ABS senses that one or more wheels

are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly

applies and releases hydraulic pressure. This

action is similar to pumping the brakes very

quickly. You may feel a pulsation in the brake

pedal and hear a noise from under the hood or

BRAKE ASSIST

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

feel a vibration from the actuator when it is

operating. This is normal and indicates that the

ABS is operating properly. However, the pulsa-

tion may indicate that road conditions are

hazardous and extra care is required while

driving.

GUID-55C14948-F47B-404C-93D0-AC90CA9C4F34

The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system

uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs

and vehicle motion. Under certain driving con-

ditions, the VDC system helps to perform the

following functions.

. 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 control 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 conditions).

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. ( VDC, transmis-

sion and suspension setup switches page

5-25)

( Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warning

light page 2-31, Vehicle Dynamic Con-

trol (VDC) off indicator light page 2-32)

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 system is off.

When the VDC setup switch is used to turn off

the system, the VDC system still operates to

prevent one drive wheel from slipping by

The VDC warning light flashes if this

occurs. All other VDC functions are off and 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 2-31, Vehicle Dynamic Con-

trol (VDC) off indicator light page 2-32)

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.

WARNING

. The VDC system is designed to help

the driver maintain stability but

does not prevent accidents due to

abrupt steering operation at high

speeds or by careless or dangerous

driving techniques. Reduce vehicle

speed and be especially careful

when driving and cornering on slip-

pery surfaces and always drive care-

fully.

. Do not modify the vehicles suspen-

sion. If suspension parts such as

shock absorbers, struts, springs,

stabilizer bars, bushings and

wheels are not NISSAN approved

or are extremely deteriorated, the

VDC system may not operate prop-

erly. This could adversely affect

vehicle handling performance, and

the VDC warning light may

illuminate.

. If brake related parts such as brake

pads, rotors and calipers are not

standard equipment or are extre-

mely deteriorated, the VDC system

may not operate properly and the

VDC warning light may illumi-

nate.

. If engine control related parts are

not standard equipment or are ex-

tremely deteriorated, the VDC warn-

ing light may illuminate.

. When driving on extremely inclined

surfaces such as higher banked

corners, the VDC system may not

operate properly and the VDC warn-

ing light may illuminate. 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 warning

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 prop-

erly and the VDC warning light

may illuminate.

. The VDC system is not a substitute

for winter tires or tire chains on a

snow covered road.

NOTE:

. Always make sure the VDC is ON

before driving the vehicle by checking

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 powertrain operation

and intended drivability.

(275,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

WARNING

. The VDC OFF mode should ONLY be

used briefly to help free the vehicle

if stuck in snow or mud by tempora-

rily stopping operation of the VDC

to maintain wheel torque.

. Driving the GT-R with the VDC off

may lead to handling issues related

to steering maneuvers, acceleration,

or deceleration. Moreover, driving

with the VDC off can result in an

inoperative vehicle by causing ser-

ious damage to the powertrain,

including damage to the Transaxle

Assembly including Transfer, Clutch,

Gears, Transaxle case and all of its

components and other drivetrain

component(s) by overheating or ex-

cessive force.

. Damage to the powertrain or any

drivetrain component(s) that occurs

when there is a record in the Vehicle

Status Data Recorder (VSDR) that

the vehicle was driven with VDC off

during the period when the damage

was incurred is excluded from war-

ranty coverage.

See your 2016 Warranty Information Booklet for

important related information and warranty

coverage exclusions. See also section 2

( Transmission warning light page 2-30)

and section 5 ( Vehicle Dynamic Control

(VDC) system page 5-53) of this Owners

Manual, Transmission Clutch Temperature

High and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

System for important additional related informa-

tion.

. Except for the emergency cases above,

any issues related to driving stability

(e.g., steering maneuvers and maneu-

vers during acceleration and decelera-

tion) and any damages to drivetrain

components (e.g., transfer, clutch, a

sort of gear, transaxle case) will not

be covered by warranty if there is a

record in the Vehicle Status Data

Recorder (VSDR) that the vehicle was

driven with VDC off.

. When attempting to free the vehicle

from mud or fresh snow, the VDC will

detect the tire slipping, and the engine

speed may not increase even when the

accelerator pedal is depressed. To raise

the engine speed, use the VDC set up

switch to turn the VDC system OFF and

select SAVE mode with the transmis-

sion switch. ( VDC, transmission

and suspension setup switches page

5-25)

. When the VDC system is turned OFF,

all VDC functions (including traction

control), except for the ABS functions,

are deactivated.

DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER GUID-F830D713-C2E0-4E3D-B548-120E63AA6C4A

If the vehicle is to be left outside without

antifreeze, drain the cooling system, including

the engine block. Refill before operating the

vehicle. For details, it is recommended you

contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

TIRE EQUIPMENT GUID-79A16532-1D2C-4B7E-9B9E-7FC457725F6E

The GT-R summer tires are made from a

specially formulated rubber to maximize the

vehicles performance capabilities. Performance

of summer tires is substantially reduced when

temperatures are less than 328F (08C) so you

must drive carefully. NISSAN recommends the

use of winter or all-season tires on all four

wheels if you plan to operate your vehicle in

snowy or icy conditions when temperatures are

less than 328F (08C).

WARNING

Never use summer tires when the

temperature is below 48F (208C) to

prevent permanent tread deformation

which may cause tire damage or tire

failure. This may cause a loss of vehicle

control which can result in serious

personal injury or death.

Tire chains may be used. ( Tire chains

page 8-41)

If you install tires, they must also be the specified

size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all

four wheels.

SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT GUID-6E2CB3D0-D5E4-45E1-BA71-A3B77D1D60C8

It is recommended that the following items be

carried in the vehicle during winter:

. A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove

ice and snow from the windows and wiper

blades.

. A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the

jack to give it firm support.

. A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.

. Extra window washer fluid to refill the

reservoir tank.

DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE GUID-47F41A7A-1180-4430-8313-F74BE8FE74EB

WARNING

. Wet ice (328F, 08C and freezing rain),

very cold snow or ice can be slick

and very hard to drive on. The

vehicle will have much less traction

or grip under these conditions. Try

to avoid driving on wet ice until the

road is salted or sanded.

. Whatever the condition, drive with

caution. Accelerate and slow down

with care. If accelerating or down-

shifting too fast, the drive wheels

will lose even more traction.

COLD WEATHER DRIVING

(277,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

. Allow more stopping distance under

these conditions. Braking should be

started sooner than on dry pave-

ment.

. Allow greater following distances

on slippery roads.

. Watch for slippery spots (glare ice).

These may appear on an otherwise

clear road in shaded areas. If a

patch of ice is seen ahead, brake

before reaching it. Try not to brake

while on the ice, and avoid any

sudden steering maneuvers.

. Do not use the cruise control on

slippery roads.

. Snow can trap dangerous exhaust

gases under your vehicle. Keep

snow clear of the exhaust pipe and

from around your vehicle.

NOTE:

When driving on snow, select the SAVE

mode with the setup switch. By selecting

the SAVE mode, the engine output is

controlled appropriately for snow or slip-

pery road surfaces. This enables the vehi-

cle to start or accelerate smoothly.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so

equipped) GUID-15558C61-CAC5-408E-92D6-5442AFF2DA45

Engine block heaters are used to assist with

cold temperature starting.

The engine block heater should be used when

the outside temperature is 208F (78C) or lower.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING

SYSTEM (TPMS) GUID-1B80F6F9-6628-49F3-9926-C56CCCA4DCF8

This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire

pressure of all tires. When the low tire pressure

warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is

significantly under-inflated. If the vehicle is being

driven with low tire pressure, the TPMS will

activate and warn you of it by the low tire

pressure warning light (in the meter) or the

warning message (on the display). This system

will activate only when the vehicle is driven at

speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). ( Low

tire pressure warning light page 2-27)

( Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) page 5-4)

WARNING

. If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates while driving, avoid sud-

den steering maneuvers or abrupt

braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull

off the road to a safe location and

stop the vehicle as soon as possi-

ble. Driving with under-inflated tires

may permanently damage the tires

and increase the likelihood of tire

failure. Serious vehicle damage

could occur and may lead to an

accident and could result in serious

personal injury. Check the tire pres-

sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire

pressure to the recommended COLD

tire pressure shown on the Tire and

Loading Information label to turn

the low tire pressure warning light

off. If the light still illuminates while

driving after adjusting the tire pres-

sure, a tire may be flat ( Run-

flat tires page 6-4) or the TPMS

may be malfunctioning. If no tire is

flat and all tires are properly in-

flated, it is recommended you have

the vehicle checked by a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer.

. When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS

will not function and the low tire

pressure warning light will flash for

approximately 1 minute. The light

will remain on after 1 minute. It is

recommended you contact a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer as soon as

possible for tire replacement and/or

system resetting.

. Replacing tires with those not ori-

ginally specified by NISSAN could

affect the proper operation of the

. Do not inject any tire liquid or

aerosol tire sealant into the tires,

as this may cause a malfunction of

the tire pressure sensors.

NOTE:

. You can check the pressure of all four

tires on the touch screen display. See

the separate Multi Function Display

Owners Manual.

. The tires of this vehicle are filled with

nitrogen gas. When the tire pressure is

low, fill the tires with nitrogen. It is

recommended you contact a GT-R cer-

tified NISSAN dealer for information on

filling the tires with nitrogen.

. If nitrogen is not available, compressed

air may be safely used under normal

driving conditions. However, NISSAN

recommends refilling with nitrogen for

maximum tire performance.

RUN-FLAT TIRES GUID-5496C5A2-F48A-4E72-92DF-C1714EE153C7

Run-flat tires are those tires that can be used

temporarily if they are punctured. ( Run-flat

tires page 8-39)

Also, see the tire safety information in the

Warranty Information Booklet.

WARNING

. Although you can continue driving

with a punctured run-flat tire, re-

member that vehicle handling sta-

bility is reduced, which could lead to

an accident and personal injury.

Also, driving a long distance at high

speeds may damage the tires.

. Do not drive at speeds above 50

MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive

more than 50 miles (80 km) with a

punctured run-flat tire. The actual

distance the vehicle can be driven

on a flat tire depends on outside

temperature, vehicle load, road con-

ditions and other factors.

. Drive safely at reduced speeds.

Avoid hard cornering or braking,

which may cause you to lose control

of the vehicle.

NOTICE

. Never install tire chains on a punc-

tured run-flat tire, as this could

damage your vehicle.

. Avoid driving over any projection or

pothole, as the clearance between

the vehicle and the ground is smal-

ler than normal.

. Do not enter an automated car wash

with a punctured run-flat tire.

. It is recommended you have the

punctured tire replaced by your

GT-R certified NISSAN dealer as

soon as possible, as the tires

performance capability is reduced.

If you have a flat tire and have to stop the

vehicle, follow the instructions below.

1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and

away from traffic.

2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.

3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking

brake. Move the shift lever to the &P position.

4. Turn off the engine.

5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic, and to

signal professional road assistance person-

(285,1)

WARNING

. Do not continue to drive if your

vehicle overheats. Doing so could

cause engine damage or a vehicle

fire.

. To avoid the danger of being

scalded, never remove the radiator

filler cap and the coolant reservoir

cap while the engine is still hot.

When the cap is removed, pressur-

ized hot water will spurt out, possi-

bly causing serious injury.

. Do not open the hood if steam is

coming out.

If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by an

extremely high temperature gauge reading), or if

you feel a lack of engine power, detect unusual

noise, etc., take the following steps:

1. Move the vehicle safely off the road, apply

the parking brake and move the shift lever to

the &P position.

Do not stop the engine.

2. Turn off the air conditioner. Open all the

windows, move the temperature control to

maximum hot and fan control to high speed.

3. If engine overheating is caused by climbing

a long hill on a hot day, run the engine at a

fast idle (approximately 1,500 rpm) until the

temperature gauge indication returns to

normal.

4. Get out of the vehicle. Look and listen for

steam or coolant escaping from the radiator

before opening the hood. (If steam or

coolant is escaping, turn off the engine.)

Do not open the hood further until no steam

or coolant can be seen.

5. Open the engine hood.

WARNING

If steam or water is coming from the

engine, stand clear to prevent getting

burned.

6. Visually check drive belts for damage or

looseness. Also check if the cooling fan is

running. The radiator hoses and radiator

should not leak water. If coolant is leaking,

the drive belts are missing or loose, or the

cooling fan does not run, stop the engine.

WARNING

Be careful not to allow your hands, hair,

jewelry or clothing to come into contact

with, or get caught in, engine belts or

the engine cooling fan. The engine

cooling fan can start at any time.

7. When the coolant temperature gauge goes

down to the midpoint, stop the engine and

wait until the gauge goes down further to

C (cold).

8. After the engine cools down, check the

coolant level in the reservoir tank. Add

coolant to the reservoir, if necessary, after

opening the coolant reservoir cap with a

heavy cloth covering it. ( Engine cool-

Hand wash the vehicle for best results. Park the

vehicle in a cool, shaded area, out of direct

sunlight. Read these procedures and gather the

necessary equipment and supplies before

washing the vehicle.

Equipment/Supplies: GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9

. Vehicle soap specifically made for matte

paint

. Microfiber cloth

. Chamois cloth, for drying

. Two buckets with grit guards or dirt separa-

tors (available at many automotive supply or

detaining supply sources).

1. Clean the wheels.

. Use a product specifically formulated to

clean wheels.

. Do not get any wheel cleaner on the

paint. Immediately wash and rinse the

paint if any wheel clear contacts the

paint.

. Do not use the same cleaning materials

to clean the wheels and paint.

2. Fill the buckets.

. Fill one bucket (with dirt separator grid at

the bottom) with vehicle soap specifically

made for matte paint and water. Follow

the soap manufacturers instructions.

. Fill the second bucket with clean water

for rinsing the wash cloth.

. Always rinse the wash cloth in the clean

water before putting the wash cloth into

the cleaning solution.

3. Inspect the car for areas with heavy soiling

or spots and, if necessary, treat these areas

first, before washing the entire vehicle.

4. Remove large pieces of dirt by spraying the

vehicle with a hose.

5. Soak the wash cloth in the soap solution and

wash the vehicle lightly. Work in small

sections from the bottom of the vehicle to

the top.

. Wash a section then rinse the soapy

section of the vehicle completely before

starting another section.

. Keep the clean sections of the vehicle

wet as the remaining sections are com-

pleted.

6. Use a clean damp chamois to dry the vehicle

before it air dries. If the undried surfaces

start to air dry, redampen those areas.

. Do not allow surface to air dry. Air drying

allows water spots to form.

WASHING GUID-A72E76D0-B867-424D-B251-7D2F8C7AC03B

Wash dirt off the vehicle with a wet sponge and

plenty of water. Clean the vehicle thoroughly

using a mild soap, a special vehicle soap or

general purpose dishwashing liquid mixed with

clean, lukewarm (never hot) water.

NOTICE

. Do not use an automatic car wash.

The rear spoiler may be damaged.

. Do not use car washes that use acid

in the detergent. Some car washes,

especially brushless ones, use some

acid for cleaning. The acid may react

with some plastic vehicle compo-

nents, causing them to crack. This

could affect their appearance, and

also could cause them not to func-

tion properly. Always check with

your car wash to confirm that acid

is not used.

. Do not wash the vehicle with strong

household soap, strong chemical

detergents, gasoline or solvents.

water-spotted.

. Avoid using tight-napped or rough

cloths, such as washing mitts. Care

must be taken when removing

caked-on dirt or other foreign sub-

stances so the paint surface is not

scratched or damaged.

Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of clean

water.

Inside flanges, seams and folds on the doors,

hatches and hood are particularly vulnerable to

the effects of road salt. Therefore, these areas

must be regularly cleaned. Take care that the

drain holes in the lower edge of the door are

open. Spray water under the body and in the

wheel wells to loosen the dirt and wash away

road salt.

Avoid leaving water spots on the paint surface

by using a damp chamois to dry the vehicle.

WAXING GUID-D1A4D4B3-64BC-4CFC-A2FD-EC7A6B5701A6

Regular waxing protects the paint surface and

helps retain new vehicle appearance. Polishing

is recommended to remove built-up wax residue

and to avoid a weathered appearance before

reapplying wax.

A GT-R certified NISSAN dealer can assist you

in choosing the proper product.

. Wax your vehicle only after a thorough

washing. Follow the instructions supplied

with the wax.

. Do not use a wax containing any abrasives,

cutting compounds or cleaners that may

damage the vehicle finish.

Machine compound or aggressive polishing on a

base coat/clear coat paint finish may dull the

finish or leave swirl marks.

WARNING

Do not use wax on the glass, rubber or

plastic parts around the glass or door.

This may prevent the window operation

or cause poor visibility and the wax

cannot be coated uniformly.

NOTICE

. Do not use compound agents on

clear-coated dry carbon fiber parts

(such as the NISMO models bum-

per, side sill protector, rear spoiler,

etc.).

. Do not use any chemical agents

(wax, coating agent, compound

agent, etc.) on matte-painted dry

carbon fiber parts (such as the rear

diffuser, a rear spoiler that is of

specifications other than NISMO,

etc.).

REMOVING SPOTS GUID-85707878-6687-495C-A575-6721F4D83DF3

Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,

insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible

from the paint surface to avoid lasting damage

or staining. Special cleaning products are

available at a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer or

any automotive accessory stores.

UNDERBODY GUID-BDA9763C-38AC-4528-87E4-128C0B6D452C

In areas where road salt is used in winter, the

underbody must be cleaned regularly. This will

prevent dirt and salt from building up and

causing the acceleration of corrosion on the

underbody and suspension. Before the winter

period and again in the spring, the underseal

must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.

GLASS GUID-184112B2-6F39-43A6-9E3E-DD1003B9EDDD

Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust

film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass

to become coated with a film after the vehicle is

parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft

cloth will easily remove this film.

NOTICE

When cleaning the inside of the win-

dows, do not use sharp-edged tools,

abrasive cleaners or chlorine-based

disinfectant cleaners. They could da-

mage the electrical conductors, radio

antenna elements or rear window

defroster elements.

WHEELS GUID-28739CF5-4632-465E-BA7F-F71C3AD66616

Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to

maintain their appearance.

. Clean the inner side of the wheels when the

wheel is changed or the underside of the

vehicle is washed.

. Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or

corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of

pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.

. NISSAN recommends that the road wheels

be waxed to protect against road salt in

areas where it is used during winter.

CAUTION

Do not use abrasive cleaners when

washing the wheels.

Aluminum alloy wheels GUID-B4D09F8E-EBC4-4DFB-9705-8567963D0E60

Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in a

mild soap solution, especially during winter

months in areas where road salt is used. Salt

could discolor the wheels if not removed.

It may discolor to black depending on storage

conditions. If only one wheel is changed, it may

be different color with other wheels. If the wheel

is changed, It is recommended you consult with

a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

NOTICE

Follow the directions below to avoid

staining or discoloring the wheels:

. Do not use a cleaner that uses

strong acid or alkali contents to

clean the wheels.

. Do not apply wheel cleaners to the

wheels when they are hot. The

wheel temperature should be the

same as ambient temperature.

. Rinse the wheel to completely re-

move the cleaner within 15 minutes

after the cleaner is applied.

CHROME PARTS GUID-9406EE2F-3E00-4D47-86BD-642FFE0097C7

Clean chrome parts regularly with a non-

abrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish.

FRONT GRILLE GUID-225A8329-C8C2-4692-AC87-B76F4E73C578

Use alcohol (IPA), such as ethanol, to remove

dirt, tar and oil spots, etc. that adheres to the

surface of plated parts.

OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES GUID-62830149-0255-422F-A11B-5F865AFE3C51

After driving on a road where salt is used in

winter, immediately wash and clean the outside

door handles that are provided with a special

coating. This will keep the beautiful finish longer.

TIRE DRESSING GUID-BA736799-CE6D-4B20-8D28-533F7C86B2DE

NISSAN does not recommend the use of tire

dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating to

the tires to help reduce discoloration of the

rubber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires, it

may react with the coating and form a com-

pound. This compound may come off the tire

while driving and stain the vehicle paint.

If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the

following precautions:

. Use a water-based tire dressing. The coat-

ing on the tire dissolves more easily with an

oil-based tire dressing.

. Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help

prevent it from entering the tire tread/

grooves (where it would be difficult to

remove).

. Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry

towel. Make sure the tire dressing is

completely removed from the tire tread/

grooves.

. Allow the tire dressing to dry as recom-

mended by tire dressing manufacturer.

DRY CARBON FIBER PARTS (if so

equipped) GUID-185523BE-05B7-425C-8075-2C3EB608D87C

Because of the characteristics of the material,

the dry carbon fiber parts may turn yellow due to

exposure to ultraviolet rays. The surfaces of dry

carbon fiber parts are coated with a special

ultraviolet protection paint. To maintain the

appearance of these parts, it is important to

take proper care of them.

NOTICE

. Do not use compound agents on

clear-coated dry carbon fiber parts

(such as the NISMO models bum-

per, side sill protector, rear spoiler,

etc.).

. Do not use any chemical agents

(wax, coating agent, compound

agent, etc.) on matte-painted dry

carbon fiber parts (such as the rear

diffuser, a rear spoiler that is of

specifications other than NISMO,

etc.).

. When dry carbon fiber parts become

dirty, prepare a dilute cleaning solu-

tion by mixing one capful of mild

detergent in a bucket of water, and

use that mixture to clean the parts.

NOTE:

The surfaces of the dry carbon fiber parts

are lightly coated like a race car so that

you can feel the proper texture of real

carbon, which may feel rough. This is

normal.

on meter or gauge lens covers. It

may damage the lens cover.

AIR FRESHENERS GUID-08869D0A-DE23-4918-9E2F-A4B3C4A445B8

Most air fresheners use a solvent that could

affect the vehicle interior. If an air freshener is

used, take the following precautions:

. Hanging-type air fresheners can cause

permanent discoloration when they contact

vehicle interior surfaces. Place the air

freshener in a location that allows it to hang

free and not contact an interior surface.

. Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on

the vents. These products can cause

immediate damage and discoloration when

WARNING

To avoid potential pedal interference

that may result in a collision, injury or

death:

. NEVER place a floor mat on top of

another floor mat in the driver front

position or install them upside

down or backwards.

. Use only genuine NISSAN floor

mats or equivalent floor mats that

are specifically designed for use in

your vehicle model and model year.

. Properly position the mats in the

floorwell using the floor mat posi-

tioning hooks. ( Floor mat in-

stallation page 7-8)

. Make sure the floor mat does not

interfere with pedal operation.

. Periodically check the floor mats to

make sure they are properly in-

stalled.

. After cleaning the vehicle interior,

check the floor mats to make sure

they are properly installed.

The use of genuine NISSAN floor mats can

extend the life of your vehicle carpet and make it

easier to clean the interior. Mats should be

maintained with regular cleaning and replaced if

they become excessively worn.

Moisture GUID-C93C1A17-821D-4EF7-9691-D9EF6CDDA506

Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the

vehicle body underside can accelerate corro-

sion. Wet floor coverings will not dry completely

inside the vehicle, and should be removed for

drying to avoid floor panel corrosion.

Relative humidity GUID-B625B9E1-0536-4B11-99A9-97A1EADE7CE6

Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high

relative humidity, especially those areas where

the temperatures stay above freezing where

atmospheric pollution exists, or where road salt

is used.

Temperature GUID-5221CCD2-9768-41EB-AFE4-BE246D0DDF1A

A temperature increase will accelerate the rate

of corrosion to those parts which are not well

ventilated.

Air pollution GUID-243E0D12-D57A-49A3-B55A-3CEEA95DB4A3

Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in the air

in coastal areas, or heavy road salt use will

accelerate the corrosion process. Road salt will

also accelerate the disintegration of paint

surfaces.

TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM

CORROSION GUID-9315A8F3-048A-4979-8020-1AD6BA90A7BA

. Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep the

vehicle clean.

. Always check for minor damage to the paint

and repair it as soon as possible.

. Keep drain holes at the bottom of the doors

open to avoid water accumulation.

. Check the underbody for accumulation of

sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with water

as soon as possible.

CORROSION PROTECTION

(301,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

CAUTION

. NEVER remove dirt, sand or other

debris from the passenger compart-

ment by washing it out with a hose.

Remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner.

. Never allow water or other liquids to

come in contact with electronic

components inside the vehicle as

this may damage them.

Chemicals used for road surface deicing are

extremely corrosive. They accelerate corrosion

and deterioration of underbody components

such as the exhaust system, fuel and brake

lines, brake cables, floor pan and fenders.

In winter, the underbody must be cleaned

periodically.

For additional protection against rust and

corrosion, which may be required in some areas,

it is recommended you consult a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer.

EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE

ITEMS GUID-86F8A64E-0E92-4949-8242-B20713B799A0

Additional information on the following

items with * is found later in this section.

Outside the vehicle GUID-95B37F87-9545-4A90-8719-22BF60997173

The maintenance items listed here should be

performed from time to time, unless otherwise

specified.

Doors and engine hood: Check that all doors

and the engine hood, operate properly. Also

ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate

hinges, latches, latch pins, rollers and links if

necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch

keeps the hood from opening when the primary

latch is released.

When driving in areas using road salt or other

corrosive materials, check lubrication frequently.

Lights*: Clean the headlights on a regular basis.

Make sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail

lights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all

operating properly and installed securely. Also

check headlight aim.

Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*: When checking

the tires, make sure no wheel nuts are missing,

and check for any loose wheel nuts. Tighten if

necessary.

Tire rotation*: Tires cannot be rotated because

your vehicle is equipped with different sized tires

in the front and rear.

Tires*: Check the pressure with a gauge often

and always prior to long distance trips. If

necessary, adjust the pressure in all tires to the

pressure specified. Check carefully for damage,

cuts or excessive wear.

NOTE:

. You can check the pressure of all four

tires on the touch screen display. See

the separate Multi Function Display

Owners Manual.

. The tires of this vehicle are filled with

nitrogen gas. When the tire pressure is

low, fill the tires with nitrogen. It is

recommended you contact a GT-R cer-

tified NISSAN dealer for information on

filling the tires with nitrogen.

. If nitrogen is not available, compressed

air may be safely used under normal

driving conditions. However, NISSAN

recommends refilling with nitrogen for

maximum tire performance.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

transmitter components: Replace grommet

seal of transmitter in TPMS, when replacing

each tire by reaching the wear limit.

Tire, wheel alignment and balance: If the

vehicle should pull to either side while driving on

a straight and level road, or if you detect uneven

or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for

wheel alignment.

If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal

highway speeds, wheel balancing may be

needed.

For additional information regarding tires, refer

to Important Tire Safety Information (US) or

Tire Safety Information (Canada) in the War-

ranty Information Booklet.

Windshield: Clean the windshield on a regular

basis. Check the windshield at least every six

months for cracks or other damage. Have a

damaged windshield repaired by a qualified

repair facility.

Windshield wiper blades*: Check for cracks

or wear if they do not wipe properly.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Inside the vehicle GUID-271ECB51-07A9-440B-8C85-E91833E3031E

The maintenance items listed here should be

checked on a regular basis, such as when

performing scheduled maintenance, cleaning

the vehicle, etc.

Accelerator pedal: Check the pedal for

smooth operation and make sure the pedal

does not catch or require uneven effort. Keep

the floor mat away from the pedal.

Transmission &P mechanism: On a fairly

steep hill, check that your vehicle is held

securely with the shift lever in the &P position

without applying any brakes.

Brake pedal: Check the pedal for smooth

operation. If the brake pedal suddenly goes

down further than normal, the pedal feels

spongy or the vehicle seems to take longer to

stop, it is recommended you see a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer immediately. Keep the

floor mat away from the pedal.

Brakes: Check that the brakes do not pull the

vehicle to one side when applied.

Parking brake: Check the parking brake

operation regularly. The vehicle should be

securely held on a fairly steep hill with only the

parking brake applied. If the parking brake needs

to be adjusted, it is recommended you see a

GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat belt

system (for example, buckles, anchors, adjuster

and retractors) operate properly and smoothly,

and are installed securely. Check the belt

webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.

Seats: Check seat position controls such as

seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to ensure

they operate smoothly and that all latches lock

securely in every position.

Steering wheel: Check for changes in the

steering conditions, such as excessive free play,

hard steering or strange noises.

Warning lights and chimes: Make sure that

all warning lights and chimes are operating

properly.

Windshield defroster: Check that the air

comes out of the defroster outlets properly and

in sufficient quantity when operating the heater

or air conditioner.

Windshield wiper and washer*: Check that

the wipers and washer operate properly and that

the wipers do not streak.

Under the hood and vehicle GUID-0160BFB4-B665-462D-BB67-5EE01054A4AA

The maintenance items listed here should be

checked periodically (for example, each time you

check the engine oil or refuel).

Battery*: Check the fluid level in each cell. It

should be between the MAX and MIN lines.

Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under

severe condition require frequent checks of the

battery fluid level.

NOTE:

Care should be taken to avoid situations

that can lead to potential battery discharge

and potential no-start conditions such as:

1. Installation or extended use of electro-

nic accessories that consume battery

power when the engine is not running

(Phone chargers, GPS, DVD players,

etc.)

2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or

only driven short distances.

In these cases, the battery may need to be

charged to maintain battery health.

Brake fluid level*: Make sure that the brake

fluid level is between the MAX and MIN lines on

the reservoir.

Engine coolant level*: Check the coolant level

when the engine is cold.

Engine drive belts*: Make sure that no belt is

frayed, worn, cracked or oily.

8-6 Maintenance and do-it-yourself

Engine oil level*: Check the level after parking

the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the

engine. Wait at least 5 minutes for the oil to

drain back into the oil pan before checking the

oil.

Exhaust system: Make sure there are no loose

supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the

exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of

exhaust fumes in the engine compartment, it is

recommended you immediately have the exhaust

system inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer. ( Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)

page 5-3)

Fluid leaks: Check under the vehicle for fuel,

oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has

been parked for a while. Water dripping from the

air conditioner after use is normal. If you should

notice any leaks or if gasoline fumes are evident,

check for the cause and have it corrected

immediately.

Power steering fluid level* and lines: Check

the level when the fluid is cold, with the engine

off. Check the lines for proper attachment, leaks,

cracks, etc.

Radiator and hoses: Check the front of the

radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves,

etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure the

hoses have no cracks, deformation, rot or loose

connections.

Underbody: The underbody is frequently ex-

posed to corrosive substances such as those

used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very

important to remove these substances, other-

wise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel

lines and around the exhaust system. At the end

of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly

flushed with plain water, being careful to clean

those areas where mud and dirt may accumu-

late. ( Underbody page 7-5)

Windshield washer fluid*: Check that there is

adequate fluid in the reservoir.

GUID-16A25193-D487-47B1-84BC-10EBA6E745AF

When performing any inspection or mainte-

nance work on your vehicle, always take care

to prevent serious accidental injury to yourself or

damage to the vehicle. The following are general

precautions which should be closely observed.

WARNING

. Park the vehicle on a level surface,

apply the parking brake securely

and block the wheels to prevent

the vehicle from moving. Move the

shift lever to the &P position.

. Be sure the ignition switch is in the

OFF or LOCK position when per-

forming any parts replacement or

repairs.

. If you must work with the engine

running, keep your hands, clothing,

hair and tools away from moving

fans, belts and any other moving

parts.

. It is advisable to secure or remove

any loose clothing and remove any

jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.

before working on your vehicle.

. Always wear eye protection when-

ever you work on your vehicle.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

(309,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

. If you must run the engine in an

enclosed space such as a garage, be

sure there is proper ventilation for

exhaust gases to escape.

. Never get under the vehicle while it

is supported only by a jack. If it is

necessary to work under the vehicle,

support it with safety stands.

. Keep smoking materials, flame and

sparks away from fuel tank and the

battery.

. Your vehicle is equipped with an

automatic engine cooling fan. It may

come on at any time without warn-

ing, even if the ignition key is in the

OFF position and the engine is not

running. To avoid injury, always

disconnect the negative battery

cable before working near the fan.

. The fuel filter or fuel lines should be

serviced by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer because the fuel lines are

under high pressure even when the

engine is off.

CAUTION

. Do not work under the hood while

the engine is hot. Turn the engine

off and wait until it cools down.

. Avoid direct contact with used en-

gine oil and coolant. Improperly

disposed engine oil, coolant, and/

or other vehicle fluids can damage

the environment. Always conform to

local regulations for disposal of

vehicle fluid.

NOTICE

. Never connect or disconnect the

battery or any transistorized com-

ponent while the ignition switch is

in the ON position.

. Never leave the engine or transmis-

sion related component harnesses

disconnected while the ignition

switch is in the ON position.

Check the coolant level in the reservoir when

the engine is cold. If the coolant level is below

the MIN level *2 , open the reservoir cap

(pressure type) *B and add coolant up to

between the MAX *1 and MIN *2 level. If the

reservoir is empty, open the radiator filler cap *A

and check the coolant level in the radiator when

the engine is cold. If there is insufficient

coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator with

coolant up to the filler opening and also add it to

the reservoir up to between the MAX *1 and

8-12 Maintenance and do-it-yourself

This vehicle contains Genuine NISSAN Long

Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue). The life expec-

tancy of the factory-fill coolant is 24,000 miles

(38,400 km) or 2 years. Mixing any other type of

coolant or the use of non-distilled water will

reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill

coolant. Refer to the GT-R Service and Main-

tenance Guide for more details.

If the cooling system frequently requires

coolant, it is recommended you have it

checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN deal-

er.

Check that the level of coolant is between MAX

and MIN on the pressurized radiator reservoir. If

the level is below the midpoint, the amount of

coolant circulating may be insufficient for max-

imum vehicle performance, possibly causing

engine overheating or other trouble.

For the coolant level and mixture ratio when

engaging in performance driv ing, see

Coolant level and mixture ratio page

GTR-14.

Except for NISMO models:

If it is difficult to determine the midpoint between

MAX and MIN, remove the coolant reservoir cap

and look inside through the opening to check

that the coolant level is above the divider *3

between the top half and bottom half of the

pressurized coolant reservoir.

NOTICE

. The coolant reservoir is equipped

with a pressure type cap, and the

radiator is equipped with a non-

pressure type cap. Do not switch

the radiator filler cap and the cool-

ant reservoir cap. Doing so will

cause substandard cooling perfor-

mance and overheating.

. If you have added only water as the

coolant in an emergency, change it

to a coolant mixture ratio specified

as soon as possible.

CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT GUID-851EDD89-D9EC-4EE0-B833-ADAF4D8D3C6F

If major cooling system repairs are required, it is

recommended you contact a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer. The service procedures can

be found in the appropriate NISSAN Service

Manual.

Improper servicing can result in reduced

heater performance and engine overheat-

ing.

WARNING

. To avoid the danger of being

scalded, never change the coolant

when the engine is hot.

. Never remove the radiator filler cap

and the coolant reservoir cap when

the engine is hot. Serious burns

could be caused by high pressure

fluid escaping from the radiator and

reservoir.

. Avoid direct skin contact with used

coolant. If skin contact is made,

wash thoroughly with soap or hand

cleaner as soon as possible.

. Keep coolant out of reach of chil-

dren and pets.

Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.

Check your local regulations.

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL GUID-1AFFF17E-8288-42ED-A659-0753FA09A56B

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply

the parking brake.

2. Run the engine until it reaches operating

temperature.

3. Turn off the engine. Wait at least 5

minutes for the oil to drain back into

the oil pan before checking the oil.

4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.

Reinsert it all the way.

5. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil

level. It should be within the range *1 . If the

oil level is below *2 , remove the oil filler cap

and pour recommended oil through the

opening. Do not overfill *3 .

6. Recheck oil level with the dipstick.

NOTE:

. It is normal to add some oil between oil

maintenance intervals or during the

break-in period, depending on the

severity of operating conditions. More

engine oil is consumed by frequent

acceleration/deceleration especially

when the engine rpm is high. If your

rate of oil consumption increases sud-

denly or without explanation, NISSAN

recommends that you have your vehicle

inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer.

. When the vehicle is delivered, the

engine oil is set to 0.39 in (10 mm)

below the H mark for optimal high

performance driving. The engine oil can

be filled up to the H mark if perfor-

mance driving is not engaged.

NOTICE

. Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is

the factory fill oil. The VR38 engine

with its plasma-sprayed bores was

developed using this oil. NISSAN

cannot ensure proper engine opera-

tion and durability if other 0W-40

synthetic oil is used. If Mobil 1 (0W-

40) is not available, Mobil 1 (10W-

40) (100% synthetic) may be used;

however, some performance loss

may be noticed.

. Oil level should be checked regu-

larly. Operating the engine with an

insufficient amount of oil can da-

mage the engine. See the 2017

BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING GUID-1D9FED72-3F65-44A1-91DF-417913ABDA9A

The disc brake pads have audible wear warn-

ings. When a brake pad requires replacement, it

will make a high pitched scraping sound when

the vehicle is in motion. This scraping sound will

first occur only when the brake pedal is

depressed. After more wear of the brake pad,

the sound will always be heard even if the brake

pedal is not depressed. Have the brakes

checked as soon as possible if the wear warning

sound is heard.

Under some driving or climate conditions,

occasional brake squeak, squeal or other noise

may be heard. Occasional brake noise during

light to moderate stops is normal and does not

affect the function or performance of the brake

system.

Proper brake inspection intervals should

be followed. For additional information, see the

maintenance log section of your NISSAN

Service and Maintenance Guide for mainte-

nance intervals.

HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKE SYS-

TEM GUID-D8FF96F2-DBCC-417F-A98D-B7CD867D4BEE

This vehicle is equipped with high performance

brake pads that provide appropriate braking

force in a broad range of driving environments.

Due to the material used for the brake pads, the

road wheels may become more easily covered

by brake dust, however this does not indicate

that there is a malfunction.

The GT-R brake pads use material that contains

a lot of iron to maintain steady braking perfor-

mance even in high and low temperatures.

However, if the brake system is wet and the

parking brake is applied for a long time, the iron

in this material may get rusty and the brake pad

and disc rotor may be fixed together. This may

cause noise and vibration while driving. Before

parking the vehicle, dry the brake by driving on a

dry road, especially after washing the vehicle or

driving in rain. Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer if the noise and vibration continue.

Frequent hard braking may cause scorching of

the brake pads. This will require the brake pads

to be replaced, even if the wear limit has not

been reached. Have the brake pads and disc

rotors inspected at the regular vehicle inspec-

tions.

For more details, contact a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer.

REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS GUID-799EFC95-74BE-45AD-A4A4-EBD670C885BC

NISSAN generally recommends to replace all

four sets of brake pads and disc rotors at the

same time to maintain maximum brake perfor-

mance.

However, replacing only the brake pads may be

allowed in some cases (four wheels or only front

wheels depending on the conditions). A GT-R

certified technician must inspect the vehicle and

determine that only the brake pads need to be

replaced. In this case, replacing all brake pads

and disc rotors as a set is not necessary.

Note that the replacement of brake pads and the

disc rotors as a set on all four wheels should be

performed when a GT-R certified technician

determines that this is the correct repair.

If the inside of the disc rotors are cold during the

winter and the surface becomes hot due to a

heavy force being applied repeatedly to the

brakes, cracks may occur near the coolant hole

on the surface of the disc rotor. Cracks may also

occur due to a heavy force being repeatedly

applied to the brakes during high performance

driving. In these cases it may be necessary to

replace the disc rotors or brake pads depending

on the condition of the crack. Contact a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer for replacement.

If you have a flat tire, see the following

section. ( Flat tire page 6-3)

CAUTION

A GT-R certified NISSAN dealer should

perform a tire change. It will be neces-

sary to reset the tire pressure sensors.

To change the tires, it is recommended

you contact a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer.

Be sure to use the tires and wheels together as

a set that are designated for use with this

vehicle.

When tire replacement is required, replacing the

tires as a set of four with new tires is

recommended. However, if a tire is punctured

or damaged, it may be possible to replace only

the damaged tire. Determining whether one tire

or a complete set of tires should be replaced is

based on a number of factors including tire wear

and condition. It is recommended you contact

your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. They can

recommend if an individual tire or a complete set

should be replaced.

NOTICE

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.

TIRE PRESSURE GUID-524F51D3-3740-4280-B73B-13DACCD59EB9

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) GUID-49C37FD6-6A53-4877-8974-3E290A8057A5

This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire

pressure of all tires. When the low tire pressure

warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is

significantly under-inflated. The system also

displays pressure of all tires on the touch screen

display by sending a signal from a sensor that is

installed in each wheel.

The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is

driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h).

Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop

in tire pressure. ( Low tire pressure warn-

ing light page 2-27) ( Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS) page 5-4)

( Flat tire page 6-3)

Tire inflation pressure GUID-EBF83A20-58CD-45AB-9465-0CC2CBF3A2FD

Check the tire pressure often and always

prior to long distance trips. The recom-

mended tire pressure specifications are

shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. la-

bel or the Tire and Loading Information

label (if so equipped) under the Cold

Tire Pressure heading. The Tire and

Loading Information label is affixed to the

driver side door end. Tire pressures

should be checked regularly because:

. Most tires naturally lose air over time.

. Tires can lose air suddenly when

driven over potholes or other objects

or if the vehicle strikes a curb while

parking.

NOTE:

. You can check the pressure of all four

tires on the touch screen display. See

the separate Multi Function Display

Owners Manual.

. The tires of this vehicle are filled with

nitrogen gas. When the tire pressure is

low, fill the tires with nitrogen. It is

recommended you contact a GT-R cer-

tified NISSAN dealer for information on

filling the tires with nitrogen.

. If nitrogen is not available, compressed

air may be safely used under normal

driving conditions. However, NISSAN

recommends refilling with nitrogen for

maximum tire performance.

The tire pressures should be checked

when the tires are cold. The tires are

considered COLD after the vehicle has

been parked for 3 or more hours, or

driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at

moderate speeds.

Incorrect tire pressure, including

under inflation, may adversely affect

tire life and vehicle handling.

WARNING

. Improperly inflated tires can

fail suddenly and cause an

accident.

. The Gross Vehicle Weight rat-

ing (GVWR) is located on the F.

M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica-

tion label. The vehicle weight

capacity is indicated on the

Tire and Loading Information

label (if so equipped). Do not

load your vehicle beyond this

capacity. Overloading your ve-

hicle may result in reduced tire

life, unsafe operating condi-

tions due to premature tire

failure, or unfavorable hand-

ling characteristics and could

also lead to a serious accident.

Loading beyond the specified

capacity may also result in

failure of other vehicle compo-

nents.

. Before taking a long trip, or

whenever you heavily load

your vehicle, use a tire pres-

sure gauge to ensure that the

tire pressures are at the spe-

cified level.

. For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to Impor-

tant Tire Safety Information

(US) or Tire Safety Informa-

tion (Canada) in the Warranty

Information Booklet.

NOTE:

. Use only genuine GT-R tires and road

wheels.

The GT-R uses specially designed run-

flat tires and matching road wheels.

Use of these specially developed tires

and wheels provides the greatest po-

tential for maximum performance. Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels

help achieve maximum cornering

straight-running stability caused by

uneven tire wear due to high rigidity

wheels and wide tires.

. The GT-R uses specially designed run-

flat tires which feature an extremely

rigid side wall. Special techniques and

equipment are therefore required when

replacing these tires. NISSAN recom-

mends that tire replacement be per-

formed at a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer.

. Specific tire changing equipment must

be used to remove the GT-R tires from

the wheel and to install the GT-R tires

onto the wheel. It is only possible to

reuse the tires when they have no

cracks and/or deformations on the

bead portion of the tire. If the incorrect

equipment is used to remove the GT-R

tires from the wheel and to install the

GT-R tires onto the wheel, cracks and

deformation may occur on the bead

portion of the tires meaning that the

tires cannot be reused. It is recom-

mended you contact a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer if the tires need to be

removed from the wheels.

1. Remove the valve stem cap from the

tire.

2. Press the pressure gauge squarely

onto the valve stem. Do not press too

hard or force the valve stem side-

ways, or air will escape. If the hissing

sound of air escaping from the tire is

heard while checking the pressure,

reposition the gauge to eliminate this

leakage.

3. Remove the gauge.

4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge

stem and compare it to the specifica-

tion shown on the Tire and Loading

Information label.

5. Add air to the tire as needed. If too

much air is added, press the core of

the valve stem briefly with the tip of

the gauge stem to release pressure.

Recheck the pressure and add or

release air as needed.

6. Install the valve stem cap.

7. Check the pressure of all other tires.

TYPES OF TIRES GUID-31F64B53-5AF8-4900-BFFB-25E6851AD8EE

WARNING

. When changing or replacing tires,

be sure all four tires are of the same

type (Examples: Summer or All

Season) and construction. A GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer may be able

to help you with information about

tire type, size, speed rating and

availability.

. Replacing tires with those not ori-

ginally specified by NISSAN could

affect the proper operation of the

TPMS.

. For additional information regard-

ing tires, refer to Important Tire

Safety Information (US) or Tire

Safety Information (Canada) in the

Warranty Information Booklet.

All-season tires GUID-3530878B-21CD-4FB0-834D-8BEEC1E9F857

NISSAN specifies all-season tires on some

models to provide good performance for use

all year around, including snowy and icy road

conditions. All-season tires are identified by ALL

SEASON on the tire sidewall.

Summer tires GUID-ABEF5B55-4350-4EC5-918F-0B7ED6BCE431

The GT-R summer tires are made from a

specially formulated rubber to maximize the

vehicles performance capabilities. Performance

of summer tires is substantially reduced when

temperatures are less than 328F (08C) so you

must drive carefully. NISSAN recommends the

use of winter or all-season tires on all four

wheels if you plan to operate your vehicle in

snowy or icy conditions when temperatures are

less than 328F (08C).

WARNING

Never use summer tires when the

temperature is below 48F (208C) to

prevent permanent tread deformation

which may cause tire damage or tire

failure. This may cause a loss of vehicle

control which can result in serious

personal injury or death.

Run-flat tires GUID-889E13C7-1039-4254-A4A8-C328B9CDD56D

ling stability. If necessary, contact a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer for assistance.

Frequently check the tire pressure information

on the touch screen display and adjust pressure

of each tire properly. See the separate Multi

Function Display Owners Manual.

It can be difficult to tell if a run-flat tire is under-

inflated or flat. Check the tire pressures as

described earlier in this section. If the tire

becomes under-inflated while driving, the low

tire pressure warning light will come on. If the

tire becomes flat while driving, the low tire

pressure warning light and the run-flat tire

warning display will come on.

Low tire pressure: GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9

If the vehicle is being driven with low tire

pressure, the low tire pressure warning light will

illuminate and the low tire pressure warning will

appear in the vehicle information display.

Flat tire: GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9

If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat

tires, the low tire pressure warning light will

illuminate continuously and a chime will sound

for 10 seconds. The run-flat tire warning also

appears in the vehicle information display.

The chime will only sound at the first indication

of a flat tire and the run-flat tire warning display

will illuminate continuously. When the flat tire

warning is activated, it is recommended you

have the system reset and the tire checked and

replaced if necessary by a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer. Even if the tire is inflated to

the specified COLD tire pressure, the warning

light will continue to illuminate until the system is

reset by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

If the low tire pressure and the run-flat tire

warning appears on the vehicle information

display:

. Do not exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h).

. Increase your following distance to allow for

increased stopping distances.

. Avoid sudden maneuvers, hard cornering

and hard braking.

WARNING

. Although you can continue driving

with a punctured run-flat tire, re-

member that vehicle handling sta-

bility is reduced, which could lead to

an accident and personal injury.

Also, driving a long distance at high

speeds may damage the tire.

. Do not drive at speeds above 50

MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive

more than 50 miles (80 km) with a

punctured run-flat tire. The actual

distance the vehicle can be driven

on a flat tire depends on outside

temperature, vehicle load, road con-

ditions and other factors.

. Drive safely at reduced speeds.

Avoid hard cornering or braking,

which may cause you to lose control

of the vehicle.

NOTICE

. Never install tire chains on a punc-

tured run-flat tire, as this could

damage your vehicle.

. Avoid driving over any projection or

pothole, as the clearance between

the vehicle and the ground is smal-

ler than normal.

. Do not enter an automated car wash

with a punctured run-flat tire.

. It is recommended you have the

punctured tire replaced by a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer as soon as

possible, as the tires performance

capability is reduced.

Tires for All-Wheel Drive (AWD) GUID-848D3C9A-A3CC-4FF9-9DE9-F6990C89ECF1

If excessive tire wear is found, it is recom-

mended that all four tires be replaced with tires

of the specified size, brand, construction and

tread pattern. The tire pressure and wheel

alignment should also be checked and cor-

rected as necessary. It is recommended you

contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

TIRE CHAINS GUID-90F3D152-5E58-4B2D-929F-0D9F338D8B14

Use of tire chains may be prohibited according

to location. Check the local laws before instal-

ling tire chains. When installing tire chains, make

sure they are of proper size for the tires on your

vehicle and are installed according to the chain

manufacturer instructions. Use only SAE class

S chains. Class S chains are used on vehicles

with restricted tire to vehicle clearance. Vehicles

that can use Class S chains are designed to

meet the SAE standard minimum clearances

between the tire and the closest vehicle

suspension or body component required to

accommodate the use of a winter traction device

(tire chains or cables). The minimum clearances

are determined using the factory equipped tire

size. Other types may damage your vehicle. Use

chain tensioners when recommended by the tire

chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose

end links of the tire chain must be secured or

removed to prevent the possibility of whipping

action damage to the fenders or undercarriage.

If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle when

using tire chains. In addition, drive at a reduced

speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may be da-

maged and/or vehicle handling and performance

may be adversely affected.

NOTE:

Tire chains must be installed only on the

rear wheels and not on the front wheels.

CAUTION

Do not use tire chains on dry roads.

NOTICE

Never install tire chains on a punctured

run-flat tire, as this could damage your

vehicle.

Do not drive with tire chains on paved roads that

are clear of snow. Driving with chains in such

conditions can cause damage to the various

mechanisms of the vehicle due to some

overstress.

Tire wear and damage GUID-A053145E-F451-4F9A-AA70-4737275226D6

WARNING

. Tires should be periodically

inspected for wear, cracking,

bulging or objects caught in

the tread. If excessive wear,

cracks, bulging or deep cuts

are found, the tire(s) should be

replaced.

. The original tires have built-in

tread wear indicators. When

the wear indicators are visible,

the tire(s) should be replaced.

. Tires degrade with age and

use. Have tires, over 6 years

old checked by a qualified

technician because some tire

damage may not be obvious.

Replace the tires as necessary

to prevent tire failure and

possible personal injury.

. For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to Impor-

tant Tire Safety Information

(US) or Tire Safety Informa-

tion (Canada) in the Warranty

Information Booklet.

Replacing wheels and tires GUID-AA9BCC05-3F63-414E-ACDE-EB327CFF8CF9

When tire replacement is required, replacing

tires as a set of four with new tires is

recommended. However, if a tire is punctured

or damaged, it may be possible to replace only

the damaged tire. Determining whether one tire

or a complete set of tires should be replaced is

based on a number of factors including tire wear

and condition. It is recommended you contact

your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. They can

recommend if an individual tire or a complete set

should be replaced.

When replacing a tire, use the specified size,

speed rating and load carrying capacity as

originally equipped. ( Wheels and tires

page 9-9)

NOTICE

. When you replace the GT-R tires, it

is recommended that you replace all

the tires at the same time.

. The GT-R uses specially designed

run-flat tires which feature an ex-

tremely rigid side wall. Special tech-

niques and equipment are therefore

required when replacing these tires.

NISSAN recommends that tire re-

placement be performed at a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer.

. When tires are reinstalled after

being uninstalled from the wheels,

use equipment such as a leverless

(345,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

automatic tire changer. It is only

possible to reuse the tires when

they have no cracks and/or defor-

mations on the bead portion. How-

ever, 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 adversely affect

the ride, braking, VDC system, hand-

ling, ground clearance, body-to-tire

clearance, tire chain clearance,

speedometer calibration, headlight

aim and bumper height. Some of

these effects may lead to accidents

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 dimen-

sion. Wheels of a different off-set

could cause premature tire wear,

degrade vehicle handling character-

istics, 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 9-9)

. 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 resetting.

. Replacing tires with those not ori-

ginally specified by NISSAN could

affect the proper operation of the

TPMS.

. The TPMS sensor may be damaged

if it is not handled correctly. Be

careful when handling the TPMS

sensor.

. When replacing the TPMS sensor,

the ID registration may be required.

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 de-

formed 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 regard-

ing tires, refer to Important Tire

Safety Information (US) or Tire

Warranty Information Booklet.

. Always use tires of the specified

type, size, brand, construction (bias,

bias-belted, radial or run-flat), and

tread pattern on all four wheels.

Failure to do so may result in a

circumference difference between

tires on the front and rear axles

which will cause excessive tire wear

and may damage the transmission,

transfer case and differential gears.

Wheel balance GUID-22867962-AD6F-48F7-AC6D-26DC40810782

Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling

and tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can

get out of balance. Therefore, they should be

balanced as required.

Wheel balance service should be performed

with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing

the rear wheels on the vehicle could lead to

mechanical damage.

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane

rating of at least 93 AKI (Anti-Knock Index)

number (Research octane number 98) to max-

imize vehicle performance.

If the premium gasoline specified above is not

available, you may use unleaded premium gaso-

line with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI

number (Research octane number 96), but you

may notice a decrease in performance.

Do not use gasoline with an octane rating lower

than 91 AKI (Research octane number 96).

NOTICE

. Using a fuel other than that speci-

fied could adversely affect the emis-

sion control system, and may also

affect warranty coverage.

. Under no circumstances should a

leaded gasoline be used, because

this will damage the three-way cat-

alyst.

. Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your

vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed

to run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-

15 or E-85 fuel in a vehicle not

specifically designed for E-15 or E-

85 fuel can adversely affect the

emission control devices and sys-

tems of the vehicle. Damage caused

by such fuel is not covered by the

NISSAN new vehicle limited war-

ranty.

. Do not use fuel that contains the

octane booster methylcyclopenta-

dienyl manganese tricarbonyl

(MMT). Using fuel containing MMT

may adversely affect vehicle perfor-

mance and vehicle emissions. Not

all fuel dispensers are labeled to

indicate MMT content, so you may

have to consult your gasoline retai-

ler for more details. Note that Fed-

eral and California laws prohibit the

use of MMT in reformulated gaso-

line.

. U.S. government regulations require

ethanol dispensing pumps to be

identified by a small, square, orange

and black label with the common

abbreviation or the appropriate per-

centage for that region.

. NISSAN recommends using fuels

that contain no alcohol. However,

fuels containing up to 10% alcohol

may be used, if necessary. To avoid

serious engine damage due to in-

creased cylinder temperatures, do

not use fuels that contain more

alcohol than indicated in this sec-

tion. Also, do not use fuel additives,

fuel stabilizers or fuel deicers that

contain alcohol.

Gasoline specifications GUID-4EF21CDE-B194-4C06-B855-74B745204522

NISSAN recommends using gasoline that meets

the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) speci-

fications where it is available. Many of the

automobile manufacturers developed this spe-

cification to improve emission system and

vehicle performance. Ask your service station

manager if the gasoline meets the World-Wide

Fuel Charter (WWFC) specifications.

Reformulated gasoline GUID-978911DE-55D8-44BF-8E23-1F00C4ECB129

Some fuel suppliers are now producing refor-

mulated gasolines. These gasolines are specially

designed to reduce vehicle emissions. NISSAN

supports efforts towards cleaner air and sug-

gests that you use reformulated gasoline when

available.

Gasoline containing oxygenates GUID-83F3F0A5-CA0D-4B8B-9323-07B01BD40858

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing

oxygenates such as ethanol, MTBE and metha-

nol with or without advertising their presence.

NISSAN does not recommend the use of fuels

of which the oxygenate content and the fuel

compatibility for your NISSAN cannot be readily

determined. If in doubt, ask your service station

manager.

If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline, please take

the following precautions as the usage of such

fuels may cause vehicle performance problems

and/or fuel system damage.

. The fuel should be unleaded and have

an octane rating no lower than that

recommended for unleaded gasoline.

. If an oxygenate-blend, excepting a

methanol blend, is used, it should

contain no more than 10% oxygenate.

(MTBE may, however, be added up to

15%.)

. E-15 fuel contains more than 10%

oxygenate. E-15 fuel will adversely

affect the emission control devices

and systems of the vehicle and should

not be used. Damage caused by such

fuel is not covered under the NISSAN

new vehicle limited warranty.

. If a methanol blend is used, it should

contain no more than 5% methanol

(methyl alcohol and wood alcohol). It

should also contain a suitable amount

of appropriate cosolvents and corro-

sion inhibitors. If not properly formu-

lated with the appropriate cosolvents

and corrosion inhibitors, such metha-

nol blends may cause fuel system

damage and/or vehicle performance

malfunctions. At this time, sufficient

data is not available to ensure that all

methanol blends are suitable for use in

NISSAN vehicles.

If any undesirable driveability problems such as

engine stalling or hard hot starting are experi-

enced after using oxygenate-blend fuels, im-

mediately change to a non-oxygenate fuel or a

fuel with a low blend of MTBE.

NOTICE

Take care not to spill gasoline during

refueling. Gasoline containing oxyge-

nates can cause paint damage.

E-15 fuel GUID-85A4EBA2-16E0-429A-A597-33DC195489FF

E-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately 15% fuel

ethanol and 85% unleaded gasoline. E-15 can

only be used in vehicles designed to run on E-

15 fuel. Do not use E-15 in your vehicle. U.S.

government regulations require fuel ethanol

dispensing pumps to be identified with small,

square, orange and black label with the common

abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for

that region.

E-85 fuel GUID-884E6969-6966-417B-AD00-90956E555695

E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel

ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E-85 can

only be used in a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do

not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. U.S. govern-

ment regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing

pumps to be identified by a small, square,

orange and black label with the common

abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for

that region.

Fuel containing MMT GUID-F7C24AD1-A594-44F1-92C6-448F98C29ED9

MMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manganese

tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting additive.

NISSAN does not recommend the use of fuel

containing MMT. Such fuel may adversely affect

Aftermarket fuel additives GUID-E35DB2CE-4B2A-43A8-8EFC-14E1686FBCF2

NOTICE

NISSAN does not recommend the use

of any aftermarket fuel additives (Ex-

ample: fuel injector cleaner, intake

valve deposit removers, etc.) which are

sold commercially. Many of these ad-

ditives intended for gum, varnish or

deposit removal may contain active

solvent or similar ingredients that can

be harmful to the fuel system and

engine.

Octane rating tips GUID-AB3A7D1F-9988-4771-A998-C4AEF3B5353F

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane

rating lower than recommended above can

cause persistent, heavy spark knock.

(Spark knock is a metallic rapping noise.)

If severe, this can lead to engine damage.

If you detect a persistent heavy spark

knock even when using gasoline of the

stated octane rating, or if you hear steady

spark knock while holding a steady speed

on level roads, it is recommended you have

a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer correct the

condition. Failure to correct the condition

is misuse of the vehicle, for which NISSAN

is not responsible.

Incorrect ignition timing will result in knocking,

after-run or overheating. This in turn may cause

excessive fuel consumption or damage to the

engine. If any of the above symptoms are

encountered, it is recommended you have your

vehicle checked at a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer or other competent service facility.

However, now and then you may notice

light spark knock for a short time while

accelerating or driving up hills. This is no

cause for concern, because you get the

greatest fuel benefit when there is light

spark knock for a short time under heavy

engine load.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER RE-

COMMENDATION GUID-4317BD1E-00A6-497E-8826-BE6B395FF1EE

Selecting the correct oil GUID-878F1CD4-7741-4A11-ABA4-AA924EE0D79C

It is essential to choose the correct grade,

quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure

satisfactory engine life and performance.

( Capacities and recommended fluids/lu-

bricants page 9-2)

Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the factory

fill oil. The VR38 engine with its plasma-sprayed

bores was developed using this oil. NISSAN

cannot ensure proper engine operation and

durability if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used.

If Mobil 1 (0W-40) is not available, Mobil 1

(10W-40) (100% synthetic) may be used;

however, some performance loss may be

noticed.

NOTICE

Using an engine oil other than that

specified could adversely affect the

engine. See the 2017 NISSAN GT-R

Warranty Information Booklet for de-

tails and exclusions.

Oil additives GUID-74B2A1BE-EF2D-49ED-86BB-0BA5671DA592

NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil

additives. The use of an oil additive is not

necessary when the proper oil type is used and

maintenance intervals are followed.

Oil which may contain foreign matter or has

been previously used should not be used.

Oil viscosity GUID-A93C5DED-BCB7-4F12-A432-606D02BBE8D6

The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes

with temperature. Because of this, it is important

(359,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

that the engine oil viscosity be selected based

on the temperatures at which the vehicle will be

operated before the next oil change. Choosing

an oil viscosity other than that recommended

could cause serious engine damage.

Selecting the correct oil filter GUID-9C1D06C4-B0CF-480B-AAFF-B80CF93BE414

Your new vehicle is equipped with a high-quality

genuine NISSAN oil filter. NISSAN recommends

to use the genuine NISSAN oil filter for the

reason described in change intervals.

Change intervals GUID-17139FA2-307F-47D1-A271-9E0FDE05DA82

The oil and oil filter change intervals for your

engine are based on the use of the specified

quality oils and filters. Oil and filter other than the

specified quality, or oil and filter change intervals

longer than recommended could reduce engine

life. Damage to engines caused by improper

maintenance or use of incorrect oil and filter

quality and/or viscosity is not covered by the

NISSAN new vehicle limited warranties.

Your engine was filled with a high quality engine

oil when it was built. You do not have to change

the oil before the first recommended change

interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend

upon how you use your vehicle. Operation under

the following conditions may require more

frequent oil and filter changes.

. repeated short distance driving at cold

outside temperatures

. driving in dusty conditions

. extensive idling

. stop and go rush hour traffic

Refer to the NISSAN Service and Maintenance

Guide for the maintenance schedule.

where appropriate fuel is not available.

When transferring the registration of your

vehicle to another country, state, province

or district, it may be necessary to modify the

vehicle to meet local laws and regulations.

The laws and regulations for motor vehicle

emission control and safety standards vary

according to the country, state, province or

district; therefore, vehicle specifications may

differ.

When any vehicle is to be taken into

another country, state, province or district

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY GUID-261D65BD-43A9-45A3-8F8A-9431242FD21E

Do not exceed the load limit of your

vehicle shown as The combined weight

of occupants and cargo on the Tire and

Loading Information label. Do not exceed

the number of occupants shown as

Seating Capacity on the Tire and

Loading Information label.

To get the combined weight of occu-

pants and cargo, add the weight of all

occupants, then add the total luggage

weight. Examples are shown in the

illustration.

Steps for determining correct load

limit GUID-47B5D959-2B4E-4971-A638-8930BF19EFB4

1. Locate the statement The combined

weight of occupants and cargo

should never exceed XXX kg or XXX

lbs on your vehicles placard.

2. Determine the combined weight of

the driver and passengers that will be

riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the

driver and passengers from XXX kg

or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting figure equals the avail-

able amount of cargo and luggage

load capacity. For example, if the XXX

amount equals 1400 lbs. and there

will be five 150 lb. passengers in your

vehicle, the amount of available cargo

and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.

(1400 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or

640 340 (5 x 70) = 300 kg.)

5. Determine the combined weight of

luggage and cargo being loaded on

the vehicle. That weight may not

safely exceed the available cargo

and luggage load capacity calculated

in Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,

load from your trailer will be trans-

ferred to your vehicle. Consult this

manual to determine how this re-

duces the available cargo and lug-

gage load capacity of your vehicle.

Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm

LOADING TIPS GUID-13D71221-D915-4A87-ADC2-87049369C8B6

. The GVW must not exceed GVWR or

GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.S.

S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.

. Do not load the front and rear axle to

the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the

GVWR.

WARNING

. Properly secure all cargo to

help prevent it from sliding or

shifting. Do not place cargo

higher than the seatbacks. In a

sudden stop or collision, un-

secured cargo could cause

personal injury.

. Do not load your vehicle any

heavier than the GVWR or the

maximum front and rear

GAWRs. If you do, parts of

your vehicle can break, tire

damage could occur, or it can

change the way your vehicle

handles. This could result in

loss of control and cause per-

sonal injury.

. Overloading could not only

shorten the life of your vehicle

and the tires, but also could

lead to hazardous vehicle

handling and long braking dis-

tance. This may cause a pre-

mature tire malfunction, which

could result in a serious acci-

dent and personal injury. Re-

pairs due to overloading the

vehicle are not covered by the

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS GUID-AC512E09-435D-4A06-9279-37221ACCD343

Secure loose items to prevent weight

shifts that could affect the balance of

your vehicle. When the vehicle is loaded,

drive to a scale and weigh the front and

the rear wheels separately to determine

axle loads. Individual axle loads should

not exceed either of the gross axle

weight ratings (GAWR). The total of the

axle loads should not exceed the gross

vehicle weight rating (GVWR). These

ratings are given on the vehicle certifica-

tion label. If weight ratings are exceeded,

move or remove items to bring all

weights below the ratings.

DOT (Department Of Transportation) Quality

Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to

federal safety requirements in addition to these

grades.

Quality grades can be found where applicable

on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and

maximum section width. For example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

TREADWEAR GUID-F8997A0C-D647-4DBA-B412-AA6947D11FEC

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating

based on the wear rate of the tire when tested

under controlled conditions on a specified

government test course. For example, a tire

graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1

1/2) times as well on the government course as

a tire graded 100. The relative performance of

tires depends upon actual conditions of their

use, however, and may depart significantly from

the norm due to variations in driving habits,

service practices and differences in road char-

acteristics and climate.

TRACTION AA, A, B AND C GUID-EFF779B5-24A6-4DFF-A60D-C39DCA737D30

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are

AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the

tires ability to stop on wet pavement as

measured under controlled conditions on spe-

cified government test surfaces of asphalt and

concrete. A tire marked C may have poor

traction performance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire

is based on straight-ahead braking

traction tests, and does not include

acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning,

or peak traction characteristics.

TEMPERATURE A, B AND C GUID-0A15D4F9-FE96-4294-B7FD-9EADDB1774CA

The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and

C, representing the tires resistance to the

generation of heat and its ability to dissipate

heat when tested under controlled conditions on

a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus-

tained high temperature can cause the material

of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and

excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire

failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of

performance which all passenger car tires must

meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent

higher levels of performance on the laboratory

test wheel than the minimum required by law.

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is

established for a tire that is properly

inflated and not overloaded. Excessive

speed, under-inflation, or excessive

loading, either separately or in combi-

nation, can cause heat build-up and

possible tire failure.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

(372,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

9-20 Technical and consumer information

GUID-B42F56B1-0635-4B02-99C4-ADA544FC44E6

A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

should never be tested using a two wheel

dynamometer (such as the dynamometers used

by some states for emissions testing), or similar

equipment. Make sure you inform test facility

personnel that your vehicle is equipped with

AWD before it is placed on a dynamometer.

Using the wrong test equipment may result in

transmission damage or unexpected vehicle

movement which could result in serious vehicle

damage or personal injury.

Due to legal requirements in some states/ areas,

your vehicle may be required to be in what is

called the ready condition for an Inspection/

Maintenance (I/M) test of the emission control

system.

The vehicle is set to the ready condition when

it is driven through certain driving patterns.

Usually, the ready condition can be obtained

by ordinary usage of the vehicle.

If a powertrain system component is repaired or

the battery is disconnected, the vehicle may be

reset to a not ready condition. Before taking

the I/M test, check the vehicles inspection/

maintenance test readiness condition. Push the

ignition switch to the ON position without

starting the engine. If the Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) comes on steady for 20 seconds and

then blinks for 10 seconds, the I/M test

condition is not ready. If the MIL does not

blink after 20 seconds, the I/M test condition is

ready.

It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified

NISSAN dealer to set ready condition or to

prepare the vehicle for testing.

GUID-9DB6AD17-5556-4DA9-B475-66A5CDE6A98C

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data

Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is

to record, in certain crash or near crash-like

situations, such as an air bag deployment or

hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in

understanding how a vehicles systems per-

formed. The EDR is designed to record data

related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems

for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds

or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to

record such data as:

. How various systems in your vehicle were

operating;

. Whether or not the driver and passenger

safety belts were buckled/fastened;

. How far (if at all) the driver was depressing

the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,

. How fast the vehicle was traveling.

. Sounds are not recorded.

These data can help provide a better under-

standing of the circumstances in which crashes

and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are

recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial

crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by

the EDR under normal driving conditions and no

personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and crash

location) are recorded. However, other parties,

such as law enforcement, could combine the

READINESS FOR INSPECTION/ MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST (US only) EVENT DATA RECORDERS (EDR)

(373,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 3/ 23 Model: 2017MY NISSAN GT-R(R35) OM17E00R35U0 ]

EDR data with the type of personally identifying

data routinely acquired during a crash investiga-

tion.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special

equipment is required and access to the vehicle

or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle

manufacturer and NISSAN dealer, other parties,

such as law enforcement, that have the special

equipment, can read the information if they have

access to the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data will

only be accessed with the consent of the vehicle

owner or lessee or as otherwise required or

permitted by law.

GUID-CC39B335-0127-443E-A42E-07A8F24D6478

The Vehicle Status Data Recorder (VSDR) is

different from the Event Data Recorder de-

scribed in Event Data Recorder in this section.

The VSDR is not a crash-activated device, but it

records and accumulates vehicle data while

driving.

Examples are:

. Vehicle operating information such as the

wheel speeds of the front and rear wheels

. Engine control information such as the

engine speed and boost pressure

The VSDR always records and stores vehicle

operating data between periodic inspections,

which can assist and be used for servicing,

diagnosing and performing warranty repairs.

The VSDR does not record sounds, conversa-

tions or images.

To read data recorded by the VSDR, special

equipment is required and access to the vehicle

or the VSDR is needed.

HANDLING OF DATA GUID-6C31D396-532C-47AF-8C54-D7572F10E85C

NISSAN and third parties affiliated with NISSAN

can acquire and use the data recorded by the

VSDR in order to confirm the part replacement

history to improve the quality of NISSAN

vehicles.

With the exception of the following cases,

neither NISSAN nor third parties affiliated with

NISSAN, shall disclose or offer the acquired

data to other non-affiliated third parties.

. With the agreement of the vehicle owner

. When legally required to, such as when

ordered by a court of law, etc.

. When offering processed data so that

neither the vehicle owner nor the vehicle is

identified, to research centers for statistical

analysis, etc.

FUEL INFORMATION GUID-E10EE4DE-E8F8-4034-9F67-06C29964C400

VR38 engine GUID-A39EE2AC-C4CF-4C0C-A3FF-685FAD722BBC

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane

rating of at least 93 AKI (Anti-Knock Index)

number (Research octane number 98) to max-

imize vehicle performance.

If the premium gasoline specified above is not

available, you may use unleaded premium gaso-

line with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI

number (Research octane number 96), but you

may notice a decrease in performance.

Do not use gasoline with a lower octane rating

than 91 AKI (Research octane number 96).

NOTICE

. Using a fuel other than that speci-

fied could adversely affect the emis-

sion control systems, and may also

affect warranty coverage.

. Under no circumstances should a

leaded gasoline be used, since this

will damage the three way catalyst.

. Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your

vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed

to run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-

15 or E-85 fuel in a vehicle not

specifically designed for E-15 or E-

85 fuel can adversely affect the

emission control devices and sys-

tems of the vehicle. Damage caused

by such fuel is not covered by the

NISSAN new vehicle limited war-

ranty.

. U.S. government regulations require

ethanol dispensing pumps to be

identified by a small, square, orange

and black label with the common

abbreviation or the appropriate per-

centage for that region.

. NISSAN recommends using fuels

that contain no alcohol. However,

fuels containing up to 10% alcohol

may be used, if necessary. To avoid

serious engine damage due to in-

creased cylinder temperature, do

not use fuels that contain more

a l c o h o l t h a n i n d i c a t e d i n

Gasoline containing oxyge-

nates page 9-5. Also, do not use

fuel additives, fuel stabilizers or fuel

deicers that contain alcohol.

For additional information, see the following

section. ( Capacities and recommended

fluids/lubricants page 9-2)

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION GUID-909C1F14-2F16-4119-BACD-2C7264B43ABC

Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the factory

fill oil. The VR38 engine with its plasma-sprayed

bores was developed using this oil. NISSAN

cannot ensure proper engine operation and

durability if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used.

If Mobil 1 (0W-40) is not available, Mobil 1

(10W-40) (100% synthetic) may be used;

however, some performance loss may be

noticed.

See the following section for engine oil and oil

filter recommendation. ( Capacities and

recommended fluids/lubricants page 9-2)

COLD TIRE PRESSURES GUID-A6C9457B-1C86-4216-8C40-9125E02DB5C2

The label is typically located on the driver side

center pi l lar or on the drivers door.

NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCE-

DURES RECOMMENDATION GUID-D9CE042E-7B37-4A6A-B9CA-79D06DD3F310

Follow these recommendations for the future

reliability and economy of your new vehicle.

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of

vehicle use, follow the recommendations out-

lined in this Owners Manual. ( Break-in
