Infiniti G35 Coupe (2007) [219/328] Warning

Infiniti G35 Coupe (2007) [219/328] Warning
venting each wheel from locking, the sys-
tem helps the driver maintain steering
control and helps to minimize swerving
and spinning on slippery surfaces.
Using the system
Depress the brake pedal and hold it
down. Depress the brake pedal with firm
steady pressure, but do not pump the
brakes. The ABS will operate to prevent
the wheels from locking up. Steer the ve-
hicle to avoid obstacles.
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may
result in increased stopping distances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, elec-
tric pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a
computer. The computer has a built-in di-
agnostic feature that tests the system
each time you start the engine and move
the vehicle at a low speed in forward or
reverse. When the self-test occurs, you
may hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a
pulsation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. If the computer senses a malfunc-
tion, it switches the ABS off and illumi-
nates the ABS warning light on the instru-
ment panel. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock
assistance.
If the ABS warning light illuminates
during the self-test or while driving, have
the vehicle checked by an INFINITI dealer.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6
MPH (5 to 10 km/h). The speed varies ac-
cording to road conditions.
When the ABS senses that one or more
wheels are close to locking up, the actua-
tor rapidly applies and releases hydraulic
pressure. This action is similar to
pumping the brakes very quickly. You may
feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and
hear a noise from under the hood or feel
a vibration from the actuator when it is
operating. This is normal and indicates
that the ABS is operating properly. How-
ever, the pulsation may indicate that road
conditions are hazardous and extra care
is required while driving.
When accelerating or driving on slippery
surfaces, the tires may spin or slide. With
the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system, sensors detect these movements
and control the braking and engine
output to help improve vehicle stability.
O When the VDC system is operating,
the “SLIP” indicator in the instrument
panel blinks.
O When only the Traction Control System
(TCS) portion of the VDC system is op-
erating, the “SLIP” indicator in the in-
strument panel blinks.
O If the “SLIP” indicator blinks, the road
conditions are slippery. Be sure to ad-
just your speed and driving to these
conditions. Be sure to drive carefully.
See “Slip indicator light”, and “Ve-
hicle Dynamic Control (VDC) OFF indi-
cator light” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.
O Indicator light
If a malfunction occurs in the system,
the “SLIP” and “VDC OFF” indicator
lights illuminate in the instrument
panel. As long as these indicators are
illuminated, the VDC system function
is canceled.
