Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.

If suspension parts such as shock ab-
sorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars,
bushings and wheels are not NISSAN
recommended for your vehicle or are
extremely deteriorated, the VDC system
may not operate properly. This could
adversely affect vehicle handling per-
formance, and the

indicator may

flash or both the

and

indica-

tor lights may illuminate.

If brake related parts such as brake

pads,

rotors

and

calipers

are

not

NISSAN recommended or are extremely
deteriorated, the VDC system may not
operate properly and both the
and

the

indicator

lights

may

illuminate.

If engine control related parts are not

NISSAN recommended or are extremely

deteriorated, both the

and

indicator lights may illuminate.

When driving on extremely inclined sur-

faces such as higher banked corners,
the VDC system may not operate prop-
erly and the

indicator may flash or

both

the

and

indicator

lights may illuminate. Do not drive on
these types of roads.

When driving on an unstable surface

such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or
ramp, the

indicator may flash or

both

the

and

indicator

lights may illuminate. This is not a mal-
function. Restart the engine after driv-
ing onto a stable surface.

If wheels or tires other than the NISSAN

recommended ones are used, the VDC
system may not operate properly and
the

indicator may flash or both

the

and

indicator lights may

illuminate.

The VDC system is not a substitute for

winter tires or tire chains on a snow
covered road.

WARNING

Never rely solely on the Hill Start Assist

system to prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing backward on a hill. Always drive
carefully and attentively. Depress the
brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped
on a steep hill. Be especially careful
when stopped on a hill on frozen or
muddy roads. Failure to prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling backwards may result
in a loss of control of the vehicle and
possible serious injury or death.

The Hill Start Assist system is not de-

signed to hold the vehicle at a standstill
on a hill. Depress the brake pedal when
the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill.
Failure to do so may cause the vehicle
to roll backwards and may result in a
collision or serious personal injury.

The Hill Start Assist may not prevent the

vehicle from rolling backwards on a hill
under all load or road conditions. Al-
ways be prepared to depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards. Failure to do so may result
in a collision or serious personal injury.
