When theforce applied tothe brake pedal
exceeds acertain level,theBrake Assist is
activated generating greaterbraking forcethana
conventional brakebooster evenwithlight pedal
force.
WARNING
The Brake Assist isonly anaid toassist
braking operation andisnot acollision
warning oravoidance device.Itis the
driver's responsibility tostay alert, drive
safely andbeincontrol ofthe vehicle at
all times.
ANTI-L OCKBRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
GUID-AD93 4732-3AE5-459A-B8C3 -7A014C0C24D9
WARNING
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)
is asophisticated device,butit
cannot prevent accidents resulting
from careless ordangerous driving
techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking on
slippery surfaces. Remember that
stopping distances onslippery sur-
faces willbelonger thanonnormal surfaces
evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger on
rough, gravelorsnow covered
roads, orifyou areusing tirechains.
Always maintain asafe distance
from thevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible
for safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso
affect braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install the
specified sizeoftires onallfour
wheels.
Ð When installing aspare tire,
make surethatitis the proper
size andtype asspecified onthe
Tire andLoading Information
label. SeeªTire andLoading
Information labelº(P.9-12) of
this manual.
Ð For detailed information, see
ª Wheels andtiresº (P.8-31) of
this manual.
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls
the brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hard
braking orwhen braking onslippery surfaces.
The system detects therotation speedateach wheel
andvaries thebrake fluidpressure to
prevent eachwheel fromlocking andsliding. By
preventing eachwheel fromlocking, thesystem
helps thedriver maintain steeringcontroland
helps tominimize swerving andspinning on
slippery surfaces.
Using thesystem
GUID-597 530BD-6BA 0-4B9D-B015-6FBB8D 66C7EE
Depress thebrake pedalandhold itdown.
Depress thebrake pedalwithfirmsteady
pressure, butdonot pump thebrakes. The
ABS willoperate toprevent thewheels from
locking up.Steer thevehicle toavoid obstacles.
WARNING
Do not pump thebrake pedal. Doingso
may result inincreased stoppingdis-
tances.
Self-test feature
GUID-A 2B20D88- 3F8D-458B-A0 1C-ABFC4E8BBA39
The ABS includes electronic sensors,electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids andacomputer. The
computer hasabuilt-in diagnostic featurethat
tests thesystem eachtimeyoustart theengine
and move thevehicle atalow speed inforward
or reverse. Whentheself-test occurs,youmay
hear aªclunkº noiseand/or feelapulsation inthe

indicate amalfunction. Ifthe computer sensesa
malfunction, itswitches theABS offand
illuminates theABS warning lightonthe
instrument panel.Thebrake system thenoper-
ates normally ,but without anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS warning lightilluminates duringthe
self-test orwhile driving, havethevehicle
checked byaNISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
GUID-9CB A1EE9-2858-46A7-AF1 C-F9A91252FE68
The ABS operates atspeeds above3to 6MPH
(5 to10 km/h) .The speed variesaccording to
road conditions.
When theABS senses thatoneormore wheels
are close tolocking up,the actuator rapidly
applies andreleases hydraulic pressure. This
action issimilar topumping thebrakes very
quickly .You may feelapulsation inthe brake
pedal andhear anoise fromunder thehood or
feel avibration fromtheactuator whenitis
operating. Thisisnormal andindicates thatthe
ABS isoperating properly.However, thepulsa-
tion may indicate thatroad conditions are
hazardous andextra careisrequired while
driving.
GUID-4D5 7C7DA-67 68-4F4F-88 24-D372FBB 702EE
The Vehicle Dynamic Control(VDC)system
uses various sensors tomonitor driverinputs
and vehicle motion. Undercertain drivingcon-
ditions, theVDC system helpstoperform the
following functions.
. Controls brakepressure toreduce wheel
slip onone slipping drivewheel sopower is
transferred toanon slipping drivewheel on
the same axle.
. Controls brakepressure andengine output
to reduce drivewheel slipbased onvehicle
speed (traction controlfunction) .
. Controls brakepressure atindividual wheels
and engine outputtohelp thedriver maintain
control ofthe vehicle inthe following
conditions:
Ð understeer (vehicletendstonot follow
the steered pathdespite increased
steering input)
Ð oversteer (vehicletendstospin dueto
certain roadordriving conditions) .
The VDC system canhelp thedriver tomaintain
control ofthe vehicle, butitcannot prevent loss
of vehicle controlinall driving situations.
When theVDC system operates, theVDC
warning light
in the instrument panelflashes
so note thefollowing:
. The road maybeslippery orthe system may
determine someaction isrequired tohelp keep
thevehicle onthe steered path.
. You may feelapulsation inthe brake pedal
and hear anoise orvibration fromunder the
hood. Thisisnormal andindicates thatthe
VDC system isworking properly.
. Adjust yourspeed anddriving tothe road
conditions.
If a malfunction occursinthe system, theVDC
warning light
illuminates inthe instrument
panel. TheVDC system automatically turnsoff.
The VDC OFFswitch isused toturn offthe VDC
system. TheVDC offindicator
illuminates to
indicate theVDC system isoff. When theVDC
switch isused toturn offthe system, theVDC
system stilloperates toprevent onedrive wheel
from slipping bytransferring powertoanon
slipping drivewheel. TheVDC warning light
flashes ifthis occurs. Allother VDCfunctions
are off,and theVDC warning light
will not
flash. TheVDC system isautomatically resetto
on when theignition switchisplaced inthe off
position thenback tothe onposition.

WARNING
. The VDC system isdesigned tohelp
improve drivingstability butdoes
not prevent accidents duetoabrupt
steering operation athigh speeds or
by careless ordangerous driving
techniques. Reducevehiclespeed
and beespecially carefulwhendriv-
ing and cornering onslippery sur-
faces andalways drivecarefully.
. Do not modify thevehicle's suspen-
sion. Ifsuspension partssuchas
shock absorbers, struts,springs,
stabilizer bars,bushings and
wheels arenot NISSAN recom-
mended foryour vehicle orare
extremely deteriorated, theVDC
system maynotoperate properly.
This could adversely affectvehicle
handling performance, andtheVDC
warning light
may illuminate.
. Ifbrake related partssuchasbrake
pads, rotors andcalipers arenot
NISSAN recommended orare extre- mely
deteriorated, theVDC system
may notoperate properly andthe

nate.
. Ifengine control relatedpartsare
not NISSAN recommended orare
extremely deteriorated, theVDC
warning light
may illuminate.
. When driving onextremely inclined
surfaces suchashigher banked
corners, theVDC system maynot
operate properly andtheVDC warn-
ing light
may illuminate. Donot
drive onthese typesofroads.
. When driving onanunstable sur-
face such asaturntable, ferry,
elevator orramp, theVDC warning
light
may illuminate. Thisisnot
a malfunction. Restarttheengine
after driving ontoastable surface.
. Ifwheels ortires other thanthe
NISSAN recommended onesare
used, theVDC system maynot
operate properly andtheVDC warn-
ing light
may illuminate.
. The VDC system isnot asubstitute

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
GUID-E05 64C3C-60A 2-48DF-92E3 -FDD16E1184 5D
This vehicle isequipped withtheTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS).It monitors tire
pressure ofall tires except thespare. When
the low tirepressure warninglightislit, and the
CHECK TIREPRES (pressure) warningmes-
sage isdisplayed inthe vehicle information
display ,one ormore ofyour tires issignificantly
under-inflated. Ifthe vehicle isbeing driven with
low tirepressure, theTPMS willactivate and
warn youofitby the low tirepressure warning
light. Thissystem willactivate onlywhen the
vehicle isdriven atspeeds above16MPH (25
km/h) .For more details, seeªWarning/indicator
lights andaudible remindersº (P.2-12) andªTire
Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS)º (P.5-3) .
WARNING
. Ifthe low tirepressure warninglight
illuminates whiledriving, avoidsud-
den steering maneuvers orabrupt
braking, reducevehicle speed,pull
off the road toasafe location and
stop thevehicle assoon aspossi-
ble. Driving withunder-inflated tires
may permanently damagethetires
and increase thelikelihood oftire failure.
Serious vehicledamage
could occurandmay lead toan
accident andcould result inserious
personal injury.Check thetire pres-
sure forallfour tires. Adjust thetire
pressure tothe recommended COLD
tire pressure shownonthe Tire and
Loading Information labeltoturn
the low tirepressure warninglight
OFF .If you have aflat tire, replace it
with aspare tireassoon aspossi-
ble.
. When aspare tireismounted ora
wheel isreplaced, theTPMS willnot
function andthelow tirepressure
warning lightwillflash forapproxi-
mately 1minute. Thelight will
remain onafter 1minute. Contact
your NISSAN dealerassoon as
possible fortire replacement and/
or system resetting.
. Replacing tireswiththose notori-
ginally specified byNISSAN could
affect theproper operation ofthe
TPMS.
. Do not inject anytireliquid or
aerosol tiresealant intothetires,
as this may cause amalfunction ofthe
tire pressure sensors.
