COLD WEATHER DRIVING See your 2013 Warranty Information Booklet for important related information and warranty coverage exclusions. See also section 2 (page 2-29) and section 5 (page 5-49) of this Owner's Manual, "Transmission Clutch Temperature High" and "Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) System" for important additional related information. . Except for the emergency cases above, any issues related to driving stability (e.g., steering maneuvers and maneuvers during acceleration and deceleration) and any damages to drivetrain components (e.g., transfer, clutch, a sort of gear, transaxle case) will not be covered by warranty if there is a record in the Vehicle Status Data Recorder (VSDR) that the vehicle was driven with VDC off. When attempting to free the vehicle from mud or fresh snow, the VDC will detect the tire slipping, and the engine speed may not increase even when the accelerator pedal is depressed. To raise the engine speed, use the VDC set up switch to turn the VDC system OFF and select SAVE mode with the transmission switch. ( "VDC, transmission and suspension setup switches" page 5-24) . When the VDC system is turned OFF, all VDC functions (including traction control), except for the ABS functions, are deactivated. FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply deicer through the key hole. If the lock becomes frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the key hole or use the Intelligent Key system. ANTI-FREEZE In the winter when it is anticipated that the outside temperature will drop below 328F (08C), check antifreeze to assure proper winter protection. ( "Engine cooling system" page 8-10) BATTERY If the battery is not fully charged during extremely cold weather conditions, the battery fluid may freeze and damage the battery. To maintain maximum efficiency, the battery should be checked regularly. ( "Battery" page 817) . DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER If the vehicle is to be left outside without antifreeze, drain the cooling system, including the engine block. Refill before operating the vehicle. For details, contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Starting and driving 5-51
