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-13) 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 SPOILER

When the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight on
a hot day, the center of the rear spoiler may
become distorted. This is normal. When the
surface temperature of the rear spoiler is
reduced, the shape of the spoiler 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.

NOISES ARE HEARD WHILE DRIV-
ING

. 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. 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.
