When brake control of active ride control is op-
erated and the “Chassis Control” mode is se-
lected in the trip computer, the active ride control
graphics are shown in the vehicle information
display. See “Trip Computer” in “Instruments and
Controls” for more information.

If the chassis control warning message appears
in the vehicle information display, it may indicate
that the active ride control is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.

When the active ride control is operating, you
may hear noise and sense slight deceleration.
This is normal and indicates that the Active Ride
Control is operating properly.

WARNING

Never rely solely on the hill descent

control system to control vehicle speed
when driving on steep downhill grades.
Always drive carefully and attentively
when using the hill descent control sys-
tem and decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal if neces-
sary. Be especially careful when driving
on frozen, muddy or extremely steep
downhill roads. Failure to control ve-
hicle speed may result in a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle and possible serious
injury or death.

The hill descent control may not control

the vehicle speed on a hill under all load
or road conditions. Always be prepared
to depress the brake pedal to control
vehicle speed. Failure to do so may re-
sult in a collision or serious personal
injury.

The hill descent control system can only be acti-
vated when the AWD LOCK switch is engaged.

The hill descent control system helps maintain
vehicle speed when driving under 15 MPH
(25 km/h) on steeper downhill grades. Hill de-
scent control is useful when engine braking alone
cannot control vehicle speed. Hill descent con-
trol applies the vehicle brakes to control vehicle
speed allowing the driver to concentrate on
steering while reducing the burden of brake and
accelerator operation.

If the hill descent control light is blinking, the hill
descent control is engaged however the hill de-
scent control will not control the vehicle speed.

● When additional braking is required on

steep downhill roads, activate the hill de-
scent control system by pushing the switch
ON. See “Hill descent control switch” in the
“Instruments and controls” section.
