NISSAN 2015 GT R - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 215)

5-18 Starting and driving
CAUTION
. Grip the shift lever correctly when
operating it. Failure to do so may
cause a finger or other items to be
trapped between the lever and gate,
possibly causing an accident.
. Because rolling resistance is re-
duced in the GT-R, the vehicle can
move when on a road with a slight
gradient, even when in the
& N posi-
tion. Be sure to depress the brake
pedal.
NOTICE
. Be sure to observe the following
precautions. Failure to do so may
result in shift lever malfunction.
— Do not spill water, beverages or
other liquids on the shift lever.
— Do not allow sand or similar
substances to contact the shift
lever.
. Develop the habit of performing the
operations marked with “
” with-
out pressing the button. If the
button is pressed at these times,
there is the possibility that the lever
could accidentally enter the
& P or & R
positions.
. When the vehicle is hot, the area
around the shift lever may be hot or
may produce an unusual sound,
however this does not indicate that
there is a malfunction.
. Avoid depressing the brake and
accelerator pedals at the same time.
Depressing both pedals at the same
time could cause the clutch to over-
heat and accelerate deterioration.
NOTE:
.
When moving the shift lever out of the
& P position, it may not be possible to
move the shift lever if the button is
pressed before the brake pedal is
depressed. Press the button only after
depressing the brake pedal.
. Do not place coins or other small
objects in the area around the shift
lever. These objects may get stuck in
the shift gate and prevent the shift
lever from moving into a position.
Sometimes, you may not be able to
retrieve these objects.
. Immediately after a cold start, while the
transmission system check display (“T/
M SYSTEM CHECK IN PROCESS”)
appears on the vehicle information
display, the shift lever cannot be moved
out of the
& P position. This is because a
check of the transmission system is in
progress. This does not indicate that
there is a malfunction. Move the shift
lever after the message on the vehicle
information display turns off.
. The shift lever knob and console-
mounted shift indicator have a genuine
leather finish that requires proper care
