2023 NISSAN ARMADA warning lights

If the light illuminates when the RAB
system is on, it may indicate that the
system is unavailable. (See “Rear Auto-
matic Braking (RAB)” (P.5-116).)
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
off indicator light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) off indicator light illuminates and
then turns off.
The light comes on when the VDC off
switch is pushed to OFF. This indicates
that the VDC system is not operating.
When the 4L position is selected with the
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) shift switch, the
VDC system is disabled and the VDC off
indicator light illuminates. (4WD models)
For additional information, see “Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P.5-144).
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light illuminates and then
turns off.
The light will blink when the VDC system
or the traction control system is operat-
ing, thus alerting the driver that the vehicle is nearing its traction limits. The
road surface may be slippery.
When the VDC warning light illuminates
when the VDC system is turned on, this
light alerts the driver to the fact that the
VDC system’s fail-safe mode is operating,
for example the VDC or hill start assist
system may not be functioning properly.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service. If a malfunction occurs in the
system, the VDC system function will be
canceled but the vehicle is still driveable.
For additional information, see “Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P.5-144).

mately 25 MPH (40 km/h) and above.
If an oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle
appears in front of your vehicle when the
headlight high beam is on, the headlight
will be switched to the low beam auto-
matically.
Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
.The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving operation.
The driver should remain alert at
all times, ensure safe driving
practices and switch the high
beam and low beam manually
when necessary.
. The high beam or low beam may
not switch automatically under
the following conditions. Switch
the high beam and low beam
manually.
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, wind, etc.). — When a light source similar to
a headlight or tail light is in
the vicinity of the vehicle.
— When the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle are turned off,
when the color of the light is
affected due to foreign mate-
rials on the lights, or when the
light beam is out of position.
— When there is a sudden, con- tinuous change in brightness.
— When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a
road that has level differ-
ences.
— When driving on a road with many curves.
— When a sign or mirror-like surface is reflecting intense
light towards the front of the
vehicle.
— When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is
reflecting intense light.
— When a headlight on your vehicle is damaged or dirty.
— When the vehicle is leaning at an angle due to a punctured tire, being towed, etc.
. The timing of switching the low
beam and high beam may
change under the following situa-
tions.
— The brightness of the head-
lights of the oncoming vehicle
or leading vehicle.
— The movement and direction of the oncoming vehicle and
the leading vehicle.
— When only one light on the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is illuminated.
— When the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is a two-
wheeled vehicle.
