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 is an electric control
module that includes the following func-
tions:
. 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 help smooth vehicle response.
When the VDC system is turned off, the
Intelligent Trace Control is also turned off.
Amount of brake control is changed
based on Drive Mode selector.
When Intelligent Trace Control is not
functioning properly, the master warning
light illuminates, and warning message
“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 the 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 information display warnings
and indicators” (P.2-34).)
WARNING
The Intelligent Trace Control may not
be effective depending on the driv-
ing condition. Always drive carefully
and attentively.
When the Intelligent Trace Control is
operating, you may feel a pulsation in
the brake pedal, sense slight deceleration,
or hear a noise. This is normal and
indicates that Intelligent Trace Control is
operating properly.
ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL
This system senses upper body motion
and controls four wheel brake pressure.
This will enhance ride comfort in effort to
restrain uncomfortable upper body
movement when passing over undulated
road surfaces. When the VDC system is
turned off, the Active Ride Control is also
turned off.
If the chassis control warning message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play, it may indicate that the Active Ride
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.
