Note from NNA to dealers:
"Important Cold Weather Package Information!
As orders are rolling in, we’re noticing a high penetration of the Cold Weather Package. This is not an appropriate package to put on vehicles intended for warm weather locations. To help clarify, here’s a description of what is in the cold weather package:
-Winter mix of coolant/water (50/50 mix). This is not an appropriate coolant mix for proper operation if the vehicle is to be operated in warm weather. If so, the coolant mix will need to be replaced with standard mix of 30/70 coolant/water to preserve performance.
-All-season tires. Optimal advertised all-around performance is derived only with the summer tires. Use of all-season tires will not yield announced performance numbers. Although the all-season tires are of high quality, they do not deliver performance equal to the summer performance tires.
-Silver wheels. The High Luster Smoke Gray Wheels are actually the premium wheels provided with the GT-R, not the silver wheels in the Cold Weather Package.
intention with the cold weather package was to support the “Anyone, anytime, anywhere” idea of having the ability to drive the vehicle in the snow, etc. Most customers who will be purchasing this vehicle for TRUE performance will not be receiving optimal performance with this cold weather package.
Where needed, please counsel with your customers to make sure they understand their order fully. A “fully loaded” vehicle doesn’t mean that it has to include this package. This package is not meant to be a “bonus,” it’s meant to be an ALTERNATIVE to facilitate operation in actual cold weather type conditions."
