may illuminate. Thisisnot
a malfunction. Restarttheengine after
driving ontoastable surface.
. Ifwheels ortires other thantheNISSAN
recommended onesareused, theVDC
system maynotoperate properly andthe
VDC warning light
may illuminate.
. The VDC system isnot asubstitute forwinter
tires ortire chains onasnow covered road.
The Vehicle Dynamic Control(VDC)system uses
various sensors tomonitor driverinputs andvehicle
motion. Undercertain drivingconditions, theVDC
system helpstoperform thefollowing functions.
. Controls brakepressure toreduce wheelslipon
one slipping drivewheel sopower istransferred to
a non slipping drivewheel onthe same axle.
. Controls brakepressure andengine outputto
reduce drivewheel slipbased onvehicle speed
(traction controlfunction) .
. Controls brakepressure atindividual wheelsand
engine outputtohelp thedriver maintain controlof
the vehicle inthe following conditions:
Ð understeer (vehicletendstonot follow the
steered pathdespite increased steeringinput)
Ð oversteer (vehicletendstospin duetocertain
road ordriving conditions) .
The VDC system canhelp thedriver tomaintain control
of the vehicle, butitcannot prevent lossofvehicle
control inall driving situations.
When theVDC system operates, theVDC warning
light
in the instrument panelflashes sonote the
following:
. The road maybeslippery orthe system may
determine someaction isrequired tohelp the
vehicle onthe steered path. .
You may feelapulsation inthe brake pedaland
hear anoise orvibration fromunder thehood. This
is normal andindicates thattheVDC system is
working properly.
. Adjust yourspeed anddriving tothe road
conditions.
If amalfunction occursinthe system, theVDC warning
light
illuminates inthe instrument panel.TheVDC
system automatically turnsoff.
The VDC OFFswitch isused toturn offthe VDC
system. TheVDC offindicator light
illuminates to
indicate theVDC system isoff. When theVDC OFF
switch isused toturn offthe system, theVDC system
still operates toprevent onedrive wheel fromslipping
by transferring powertoanon slipping drivewheel.
The VDC warning light
flashes ifthis occurs. All
other VDCfunctions areoffand theVDC warning light
will not flash. TheVDC system isautomatically
reset toon when theignition switchisplaced inthe
ªOFFº position thenback tothe ªONº position.
See ªVehicle Dynamic Control(VDC)warning lightº
(P .2-14) andªVehicle Dynamic Control(VDC)off
indicator lightº(P.2-16) .
The computer hasabuilt-in diagnostic featurethat
tests thesystem eachtimeyoustart theengine and
move thevehicle forward orinreverse ataslow speed.
When theself-test occurs,youmay hear aªclunkº
noise and/or feelapulsation inthe brake pedal. Thisis
normal andisnot anindication ofamalfunction.

GUID-113 04DAE-D8A 1-41C5-9629 -EB4E233FA326
When thevehicle iswashed ordriven through water,
the brakes maygetwet. Asaresult, yourbraking
distance willbelonger andthevehicle maypulltoone
side during braking.
T o dry the brakes, drivethevehicle atasafe speed
while lightly depressing thefoot brake pedal toheat up
the brakes. Dothis until thebrakes returntonormal.
Avoid driving thevehicle athigh speeds untilthe
brakes function correctly.
Parking brakebreak-in
GUID-9F 650418-11 53-4519-A06 7-F7B1AB1F0389
Break inthe parking brakeshoes whenever the
stopping effectofthe parking brakeisweakened or
whenever theparking brakeshoes and/or drums/rotors
are replaced, inorder toassure thebest braking
performance.
This procedure isdescribed inthe vehicle service
manual andcanbeperformed byaNISSAN dealer.
Driving uphill
GUID-98F5 E8C2-2DFE-4 585-B8B6-542F87613 B7A
When starting onasteep grade, itis sometimes
difficult tooperate boththebrake andclutch (for
Manual Transmission model).Apply theparking brake
to hold thevehicle. Donot slip theclutch. Whenready
to start, slowly release theparking brakewhile
depressing theaccelerator pedalandreleasing the
clutch pedal.
Driving downhill
GUID-32139F 93-F218-4D2C-BC4E-B 0CC3241F2E9
The engine braking actioniseffective forcontrolling
the vehicle whiledescending hills.ForManual Trans-
mission (MT)model, theshift lever should beplaced in
the lower speed position priortodescending.For
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)model, the
manual shiftmode orthe ªLº position shouldbe
selected.
BRAKE ASSIST (ifequipped)
GUID-CDB FBD03-A9DF-438C-AF 95-F32FB9DAFFB2
When theforce applied tothe brake pedalexceeds a
certain level,theBrake Assist isactivated generating
greater braking forcethanaconventional brake
booster evenwithlight pedal force.
WARNING:
The Brake Assist isonly anaid toassist braking
operation andisnot acollision warningor
avoidance device.Itis the driver's responsibility
to stay alert, drivesafely andbeincontrol ofthe
vehicle atall times.
ANTI-L OCKBRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) (if
equipped)
GUID-C5C2B DDA-1861-49E4-A3EF -B800D31DBF5F
WARNING:
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)isa
sophisticated device,butitcannot prevent
accidents resultingfromcareless ordanger-
ous driving techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking onslippery
surfaces. Remember thatstopping distances
on slippery surfaces willbelonger thanon
normal surfaces evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger onrough,
gravel orsnow covered roads,orifyou are using
tirechains. Always maintain asafe
distance fromthevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible for
safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso affect
braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install thespeci-
fied size oftires onallfour wheels.
Ð When installing aspare tire,make sure
that itis the proper sizeandtype as
specified onthe tire placard. (SeeªTire
placardº (P.9-9) .)
Ð For detailed information, seeªTires and
wheelsº (P.8-31) .
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls the
brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hardbraking
or when braking onslippery surfaces. Thesystem
detects therotation speedateach wheel andvaries
the brake fluidpressure toprevent eachwheel from
locking andsliding. Bypreventing eachwheel from
locking, thesystem helpsthedriver maintain steering
control andhelps tominimize swerving andspinning
on slippery surfaces.
Using system
GUID-331 31E90-4EC6 -4CBB-B87D-88A622F21705
Depress thebrake pedalandhold itdown. Depress
the brake pedal withfirmsteady pressure, butdonot
pump thebrakes. TheABS willoperate toprevent the
wheels fromlocking up.Steer thevehicle toavoid
obstacles.
WARNING:
Do not pump thebrake pedal. Doingsomay
result inincreased stoppingdistances.
