TIGHT CORNER BRAKING PHE-

NOMENON

When driving on dry pavement in AWD mode, or

immediately after starting the engine in cold

conditions, when the steering wheel is turned all

the way, the vehicle may behave as if the brakes

had been applied. This phenomenon is known

as the “tight corner braking phenomenon”.

This phenomenon is unique to AWD vehicles,

and occurs due to a difference in speeds

between the front and rear wheels while the

vehicle is turning. This does not indicate that

there is a malfunction. If this phenomenon

occurs, more force will be required to operate

the steering wheel.

NOTE:

. If the tight corner braking phenomenon

occurs, a slipping sound may be heard

from the tires, or a squeaking sound

may be heard from the drive system.

. If excessive operation continues when

a wheel has come off the road or at

other times when the operation causes

a large difference in speed between the

front and rear wheels (the wheels are

spinning), the oil temperature in the

drive system parts will increase.

In this case, to protect the drive system

parts, the AWD warning light blinks

rapidly and the system switches to

RWD mode or low AWD mode. Keep

the vehicle stopped and idling for a

short time. When the warning light

stops blinking, the vehicle returns from

RWD mode to normal driving mode.

. If you feel an unusual vibration in the

vehicle, even if the warning lights are

not illuminated, have the vehicle in-

spected by a GT-R certified NISSAN

dealer.

TIRES

This vehicle is equipped with special tires. When

changing the tires, install the designated special

tires. Replacing tires as a set of four with new

ones is recommended. However, if a tire is

punctured or damaged, it may be possible to

replace only the damaged tire. Determining

whether one tire or a complete set of tires

should be replaced is based on a number of

factors including tire wear and condition. Con-

tact your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. They

can recommend if an individual tire or a

complete set should be replaced.

NOTICE

If tires other than the designated tires,

tires with large differences in wear or

tires of different sizes are installed, the

AWD performance will be degraded and

the drive mechanism may be damaged.

AWD SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

The AWD system automatically distributes the

optimal torque to the front and rear wheels. This

provides both the superior turning performance

of a front wheel drive vehicle and the traction of

a AWD vehicle.

Electronic control continuously distributes tor-

que to the front and rear wheels in the range

from 0:100 (rear-wheel drive mode) to 50:50

(all-wheel drive mode) to match the driving

conditions and road conditions. This allows the

engine output (torque) to be effectively trans-

mitted to the road surface.
