vehicle has cooled.
GASOLINE SMELL
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
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
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, have the vehicle inspected by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
ENGINE SPEED IS RESTRICTED
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 5,000 RPM
. Revving the engine when the engine oil is at
a low (below 32 8F (08C)) or extremely high
(over 275 8F (1358C)) temperature: The
maximum engine speed is 4,000 RPM (The
&
M position will automatically change to the
&
A position.)
ENGINE OUTPUT
High altitude
To protect the engine, engine output is con-
trolled so that it does not increase at altitudes
4,922 ft (1,500 meters) or higher.
Engine output according to the
coolant temperature
The engine output is controlled at a low level
when the engine coolant temperature is lower
than approximately 158
8F (708C) or higher than
230 8F (1108C). This is not a malfunction.
If the temperature is lower than approximately
158 8F (708C), drive the vehicle until it reaches
normal operating temperature. If the temperature
is higher than 230
8F (1108C), perform cool-
down driving procedure. ( “Cool down”
page GTR-12) When the temperature of the
engine coolant is between 158
8F (708C) and
230 8F (1108C), the engine output returns to
normal.
DISTORTION OF REAR WING
When the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight on
a hot day, the center of the rear wing may
become distorted. This is normal. When the
surface temperature of the rear wing is reduced,
the shape of the wing should return to normal.
UNEVEN WEAR OF TIRES
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.
