The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The
indicator light will illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. (See “Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P.5-37) .)

perature is high, move the air intake lever to
the
position. Be sure to move the air
intake lever to theposition for normal cooling.
. A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.

This mode is used to heat and dehumidify the
air.
1. Move the air intake lever to the
position.
2. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position.
3. Turn the fan speed control
dial to the

This mode is used to defog the windows and
dehumidify the air.
1. Move the air intake lever to the
position.
2. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position.
3. Turn the fan speed control
dial to the
desired position. 4. Turn the temperature control dial to the

Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A
temperature difference between the inside and
the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is
not a malfunction. If large drops of water collect
inside the lens, it is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for servicing.
