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.

BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION

During braking while driving through turns, the
system optimizes the distribution of force to each
of the four wheels depending on the radius of the
turn.

WARNING

The VDC system is designed to help the

driver maintain stability but does not
prevent accidents due to abrupt steer-
ing operation at high speeds or by care-
less or dangerous driving techniques.
Reduce vehicle speed and be especially
careful when driving and cornering on
slippery surfaces and always drive
carefully.

The active trace control and brake force

distribution systems may not be effec-
tive depending on the driving condition.
Always drive carefully and attentively.
