If brake related parts such as brake

pads, rotors and calipers are not stan-

dard equipment or are extremely dete-

riorated, the vehicle dynamic control

system may not operate properly and

the vehicle dynamic control off indica-

tor light may come on.

Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.

If suspension parts such as shock ab-

sorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars

and bushings are not NISSAN approved

for your vehicle or are extremely dete-

riorated the vehicle dynamic control

system may not operate properly. This

could adversely affect vehicle handling

performance, and the VDC OFF indica-

tor light may come on.

When driving on extremely inclined sur-

faces such as higher banked corners,

the vehicle dynamic control system may

not operate properly and the VDC OFF

indicator light may come on. Do not

drive on these types of roads.

When driving on an unstable surface

such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or

ramp, the vehicle dynamic control off

indicator light may illuminate. This is

not a malfunction. Restart the engine

after driving onto a stable surface.

If wheels or tires other than the recom-

mended ones are used, the vehicle dy-

namic control system may not operate

properly and the vehicle dynamic con-

trol off indicator light may come on.

The vehicle dynamic control system is

not a substitute for winter tires or tire

chains on a snow covered road.

FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK

To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply de-

icer through the key hole. If the lock becomes

frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the key

hole or use the remote keyless entry keyfob (if so

equipped).

ANTI-FREEZE

In the winter when it is anticipated that the tem-

perature will drop below 32°F (0°C), check the

anti-freeze to assure proper winter protection.

For details, see “Engine cooling system” in the

“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of this

manual.

BATTERY

If the battery is not fully charged during extremely

cold weather conditions, the battery fluid may

freeze and damage the battery. To maintain maxi-

mum efficiency, the battery should be checked

regularly. For details, see “Battery” in the “Main-

tenance and do-it-yourself” section of this

manual.
