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 pressure 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 pressure, a
tire may be flat.

. 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. Con-
tact a 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.

NOTE:
. You can check the pressure of all four

tires on the multi function display. See
the separate Multi Function Display
Owner’s Manual.

. The tires of this vehicle are filled with

nitrogen gas. When the tire pressure is
low, fill the tires with nitrogen. Contact
a GT-R certified 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

Run-flat tires are those tires that can be used
temporarily if they are punctured. (

“Run-flat

tires” page 8-37)
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.
