When the active trace control is operated and the
“Chassis Control” mode is selected in the trip com-
puter, the active trace control graphics are shown in
the vehicle information display see “Trip computer”
in the “2. Instruments and controls” section for more
information.
If the chassis control warning message appears in

the active trace control is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop as soon as possible (see also
“28. [Chassis control system fault] warning” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section).
When the active trace control is operating, you may
feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise,
this is normal and indicates that the active trace con-
trol is operating properly.
Even if the active trace control is set to OFF, some

ample, avoidance scenes).ACTIVE ENGINE BRAKE (for
XTRONIC (CVT) models only)
WARNING
The active engine brake may not be effective de-
pending on the driving condition. Always drive
carefully and attentively.
The Active Engine Brake function adds subtle de-
celeration by controlling gear ratio, depending on
the cornering condition calculated from driver’s
steering input and plural sensors. This benefits
easier traceability and less workload of adjusting
speed with braking at corners.
The Active Engine Brake also adds subtle decelera-
tion with gear ratio control according to driver’s
brake pedal operation.
The Active Engine Brake can be set to ON (en-
abled) or OFF (disabled) through the vehicle infor-mation display see “28. [Chassis control system
fault] warning” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.
When the active engine brake is operated at cor-
ners and the “Chassis Control” mode is selected in
the trip computer, the active engine brake graphics
are shown in the vehicle information display see
“Trip computer” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section for more information.
If the chassis control warning message appears in
the vehicle information display, it may indicate that
the active engine brake is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
When the active engine brake is operating, the
needle of the tachometer will rise up and you may
hear an engine noise. This is normal and indicates
that the active engine brake is operating properly.

ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL
This system senses upper body motion based on
wheel speed information and controls engine torque
(MR20DD engines only) and four wheel brake pres-

uncomfortable upper body movement. This system
come into effect above 40 km/h (25 MPH).
When the ESP OFF switch is used to turn off the
ESP system, the active ride control is also turned
off.
When the brake control of active ride control is op-
erated and the “Chassis Control” mode is selected
in the trip computer, the active ride control graphics
are shown in the vehicle information display see
“28. [Chassis control system fault] warning” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section for more infor-
mation.
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 or
qualified workshop 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 start assist system
to prevent the vehicle from moving 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 vehicle from roll-
ing backwards may result in a loss of control
of the vehicle and possible serious injury or
death.
•The hill start assist system is not designed to
hold the vehicle at a standstill on a hill. De-
press 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 system may not prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards on a hill
under all load or road conditions. Always be
prepared to depress the brake pedal to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling backwards. Fail-
ure to do so may result in a collision or seri-
ous personal injury.
The hill start assist system automatically keeps the
brakes applied to help prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing backwards in the time it takes the driver to re-
lease the brake pedal and apply the accelerator
when the vehicle is stopped on a hill.
