•If engine related parts, such as a muffler, are
not standard equipment or are extremely de-
teriorated, the “SLIP” indicator light (
) may
illuminate.
•If brake related parts, such as brake pads,
rotors and callipers, are not standard equip-
ment or are extremely deteriorated, the ESP
system may not operate properly and the
“SLIP” indicator light (
) may illuminate.
•Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension. If
suspension parts, such as shock absorbers,
struts, springs, stabiliser bars and bushings,
are not NISSAN-approved or are extremely
deteriorated, the ESP system may not oper-
ate properly. This could adversely affect ve-
hicle handling performance and the “SLIP” in-
dicator light (
) may illuminate.
•When driving on extremely inclined surfaces,
such as higher banked corners, the ESP sys-
tem may not operate properly and the “SLIP”
indicator light (
) may illuminate. Do not
drive on these types of roads. If ESP OFF indi-
cator light
does illuminate after driving
on extreme surfaces, restart the engine to re-
set the ESP system.
•If wheels or tyres other than the
recommended ones are used, the ESP sys-
tem may not operate properly and the “SLIP”
indicator light (
) may illuminate.
•The ESP system is not a substitute for winter
tyres or snow chains on a snow covered road.NOTE
•The ESP system should be switched on under
normal circumstances although it may be ad-
vantageous to switch off the ESP system to
allow wheelspin under the following condi-
tions:
– When driving in deep snow or mud.
– When trying to rock a vehicle free that is
stuck in snow.
– When driving with snow chains.
•If the ESP system has been switched off, drive
carefully with reduced speed. When road con-
ditions allow, ESP should be switched back
on.
