5-160 Starting and driving
used, the VDC system may not
operate properly and the
indicator light may flash or both
the
and indicator lights
may illuminate.
. The VDC system is not a substi-
tute for winter tires or tire chains
on a snow covered road.
The chassis control includes the following
functions:
. Intelligent Trace Control
. Active Ride Control
INTELLIGENT TRACE CONTROL
This system senses driving based on the
driver’s steering and acceleration/braking
patterns, and controls brake pressure at
individual wheels to aid tracing at corners
and promote smooth vehicle response.
The amount of brake control is changed
based on the drive mode selector. When
the VDC system is turned off, Intelligent
Trace Control is also turned off.
When Intelligent Trace Control is not
functioning properly, the master warning
light illuminates, and the warning mes-
sage “Chassis Control System Error” will
also appear in the vehicle information
display.
If the chassis control warning message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play, it may indicate that Intelligent Trace
Control is not functioning properly. Have
the system checked as soon as possible.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. (See “Vehicle in-
formation display warnings and indica-
tors” (P.2-34).)
WARNING
Intelligent Trace Control may not be
effective depending on the driving
condition. Always drive carefully and
attentively.
When Intelligent Trace Control is operat-
ing, you may feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal and hear a noise. This is normal and
indicates that Intelligent Trace Control is
operating properly. You may also feel
deceleration when Intelligent Trace Con-
trol is operating. However, this is not a
malfunction.
ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL
This system senses upper body motion
and controls four wheel brake pressure.
This will enhance ride comfort in an effort
to restrain uncomfortable upper body
movement when passing over undulated
road surfaces. When the VDC system is
turned off, Active Ride Control is also
turned off.
If the chassis control warning message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play, it may indicate that Active Ride
Control is not functioning properly. Have
the system checked as soon as possible.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
