Looks like the flare is included. And there's another very useful tip how to avoid the train!


Here're the rest of the funny pics from the manual:

First up, a nice reminder not to let your soda can get behind your brake pedal. A bad situation in ANY vehicle!




If you’re unlucky enough to have your new R35 break down on a train track, use your included flare to alert the train operator. (Who thinks of these horrific scenarios?!?)




Real friends help you push your R35 off the train track and clear of certain disaster. Just remember to put the transmission into Neutral, or else you may lose your precious R35… oh yeah and some things called friends.




Commented later on:

"the train scenario are pretty common in Japan, where most people still use trains to get to work and live very near one.

Those aren’t friends… the manual said just get people nearby to help you push it out. I’m sure the dude can get the entire neighborhood to help him push a GT-R to safety. The guy may even give you a ride!"
