If the light illuminates when the RAB
system is on, it may indicate that the
system is unavailable. (See “Rear Auto-
matic Braking (RAB)” (P.5-116).)
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
off indicator light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) off indicator light illuminates and
then turns off.
The light comes on when the VDC off
switch is pushed to OFF. This indicates
that the VDC system is not operating.
When the 4L position is selected with the
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) shift switch, the
VDC system is disabled and the VDC off
indicator light illuminates. (4WD models)
For additional information, see “Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P.5-144).
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light illuminates and then
turns off.
The light will blink when the VDC system
or the traction control system is operat-
ing, thus alerting the driver that the vehicle is nearing its traction limits. The
road surface may be slippery.
When the VDC warning light illuminates
when the VDC system is turned on, this
light alerts the driver to the fact that the
VDC system’s fail-safe mode is operating,
for example the VDC or hill start assist
system may not be functioning properly.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service. If a malfunction occurs in the
system, the VDC system function will be
canceled but the vehicle is still driveable.
For additional information, see “Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P.5-144).
