When the VDC system operates, the
indicator in the instrument panel flashes so
note the following:
The road may be slippery or the system may
determine some action is required to keep
the vehicle on the steered path.
You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal
and hear a noise or vibration from under the
hood. This is normal and indicates that the
VDC system is working properly.
Adjust your speed and driving to the road
conditions.
Indicator light
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
and indicator lights come on in
the instrument panel. The VDC system auto-
matically turns off when these indicator
lights are on.
ABLS system uses automatic braking to
transfer power from a slipping drive wheel to
the wheel on the same axle with more
traction. The ABLS system applies braking to
the slipping wheel, which helps redirect
power to another wheel.
The ABLS system is always ON unless the
system detects brake pad overheating. If
high brake pad temperature is detected, it
will turn OFF, but normal brake function will
continue. ABLS will function even when the
VDC system is turned OFF. The ABLS system
does not operate if both wheels on a drive
axle are slipping.
The VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the VDC
system. The VDC off indicator illuminates to
indicate the VDC system is off. When the VDC
switch is used to turn off the system, the VDC
system still operates to prevent one drive wheel
from slipping by transferring power to a non
slipping drive wheel. The
indicator
flashes if this occurs. All other VDC functions
are off and the
indicator will not flash.
The VDC System is automatically reset to on
when the ignition switch is placed in the off
position then back to the on position.
The VDC system computer has a built-in diag-
nostic feature that tests the system each time
you start the engine and move the vehicle at a
low speed forward or backward. When the
self-test occurs, you may hear a “clunk” noise
and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. This
is normal and is not an indication of a malfunc-
tion.
WARNING
The VDC system is designed to help improve
driving stability but does not prevent acci-
dents due to abrupt steering operation at
high speeds or due to careless or dangerous
driving techniques. Reduce vehicle speed
and be especially careful when driving and
cornering on slippery surfaces and always
drive carefully.
If engine control related parts are not stan-
dard equipment or are extremely deterio-
rated, both the
and indicator
lights may illuminate.
Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension. If
suspension parts such as shock absorbers,
struts, springs, stabilizer bars, bushings
and wheels are not INFINITI approved for
your vehicle or are extremely deteriorated
the VDC system may not operate properly.
This could adversely affect vehicle handling
performance, and the
indicator may
flash or both
and indicator
lights may illuminate.
