was incurred is excluded from war-
ranty coverage.
See your 2010 Warranty Information Booklet for
important related information and warranty
coverage exclusions. See also section 2 (page
2-28) and section 5 (page 5-42) of this Owner’s
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 maneuvers
during acceleration and deceleration)
and any damages to drivetrain compo-
nents (e.g., transfer, clutch, a sort of
gear, transaxle case) will not be cov-
ered 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.
. When the VDC system is turned OFF,
all VDC functions (including traction
control), except for the ABS functions,
are deactivated. FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
deicer through the key hole. If the lock becomes
frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the
key hole or use the Intelligent Key system.
ANTI-FREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that the
outside temperature will drop below 32
8F (08C),
check antifreeze to assure proper winter protec-
tion. (
“ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM”
page 8-9)
BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the battery
fluid may freeze and damage the battery. To
maintain maximum efficiency, the battery should
be checked regularly. (
“BATTERY” page 8-
15)
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
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, contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
TIRE EQUIPMENT
The GT-R summer tires are made from a
specially formulated rubber to maximize the
vehicle’s performance capabilities. Performance
