ling stability. If necessary, contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for assistance. Frequently check the tire pressure information display on the monitor screen and adjust pressure of each tire properly. See the separate Multi Function Display Owner's Manual. It can be difficult to tell if a run-flat tire is underinflated or flat. Check the tire pressures as described earlier in this section. If the tire becomes under-inflated while driving, the low tire pressure warning light will come on. If the tire becomes flat while driving, the low tire pressure warning light and the run-flat tire warning display will come on. Low tire pressure: If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate. Flat tire: If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat tires, the run-flat tire warning display will appear continuously on the vehicle information display and a chime will sound for 10 seconds. The chime will only sound at the first indication of a flat tire and the run-flat tire warning display will illuminate continuously. When the flat tire warning is activated, have the system reset and the tire checked and replaced if necessary by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Even if the tire is inflated to the specified COLD tire pressure, the warning light will continue to illuminate until the system is reset by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. If the low tire pressure and the run-flat tire warning appears on the vehicle information display: ...Do not exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h). Increase your following distance to allow for increased stopping distances. Avoid sudden maneuvers, hard cornering and hard braking. on a flat tire depends on outside temperature, vehicle load, road conditions and other factors. . Drive safely at reduced speeds. Avoid hard cornering or braking, which may cause you to lose control of the vehicle. NOTICE . Never install tire chains on a punctured run-flat tire, as this could damage your vehicle. Avoid driving over any projection or pothole, as the clearance between the vehicle and the ground is smaller than normal. Do not enter an automated car wash with a punctured run-flat tire. Have the punctured tire replaced by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer as soon as possible, as the tire's performance capability is reduced. WARNING . Although you can continue driving with a punctured run-flat tire, remember that vehicle handling stability is reduced, which could lead to an accident and personal injury. Also, driving a long distance at high speeds may damage the tire. 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 . . . . 8-38 Maintenance and do-it-yourself

Maintenance and do-it-yourself
ling
stability.
If
necessary,
contact
a
GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for assistance.
Frequently check the tire pressure information
display
on
the
monitor
screen
and
adjust
pressure of each tire properly. See the separate
Multi Function Display Owner’s Manual.
It can be difficult to tell if a run-flat tire is under-
inflated or flat. Check the tire pressures as
described
earlier
in
this
section.
If
the
tire
becomes under-inflated while driving, the low
tire pressure warning light will come on. If the
tire becomes flat
while driving, the low
tire
pressure
warning
light
and
the
run-flat
tire
warning display will come on.
Low tire pressure:
If
the
vehicle
is
being
driven
with
low
tire
pressure, the low tire pressure warning light will
illuminate.
Flat tire:
If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat
tires, the run-flat tire warning display will appear
continuously on the vehicle information display
and a chime will sound for 10 seconds.
The chime will only sound at the first indication
of a flat tire and the run-flat tire warning display
will illuminate continuously. When the flat tire
warning is activated, have the system reset and
the tire checked and replaced if necessary by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Even if the tire is
inflated to the specified COLD tire pressure, the
warning light will continue to illuminate until the
system is reset by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
If the low tire pressure and the run-flat tire
warning
appears
on
the
vehicle
information
display:
.
Do not exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h).
.
Increase your following distance to allow for
increased stopping distances.
.
Avoid sudden maneuvers, hard cornering
and hard braking.
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 tire.
.
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.
NOTICE
.
Never install tire chains on a punc-
tured
run-flat
tire,
as
this
could
damage your vehicle.
.
Avoid driving over any projection or
pothole, as the clearance between
the vehicle and the ground is smal-
ler than normal.
.
Do not enter an automated car wash
with a punctured run-flat tire.
.
Have the punctured tire replaced by
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer as
soon
as
possible,
as
the
tire’s
performance capability is reduced.
