The low beam light indicator light illuminates
when the front clearance lights, instrument panel
lights, rear combination lights and license plate
lights are on. The indicator light turns off when
the

Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)

If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.

The malfunction indicator light may also come on
steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or
if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make
sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 US
gallons (14 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.

After a few driving trips, the

light should

turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.

If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (

“READINESS FOR

INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST (US
only)” page 9-17)

Operation:

The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:

. Malfunction indicator light on steady — An

emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Check the fuel-filler cap. If
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, have the
vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.

. Malfunction indicator light blinking — An

engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.

To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:

a) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH

(72 km/h).

b) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
c) Avoid steep uphill grades.
d) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo

being hauled or towed.

The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and remain on.

Have the vehicle inspected by a GT-R

certified NISSAN dealer. You do not need
to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.

NOTICE

Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.

Slip indicator light

This indicator will blink when the VDC system is
operating, thus alerting the driver to the fact that
the road surface is slippery and the vehicle is
nearing its traction limits.

Turn signal/hazard indicator
lights

The light flashes when the turn signal switch
lever or hazard switch is turned on.

Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) off indicator light

The light comes on when the Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) set up switch is pushed to OFF
for more than 1 second. (
