Nissan Murano: Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system / Rise-up and build-up. Brake force distribution
Rise-up and build-up
The system gradually adjusts braking
power during normal braking to help provide
an enhanced brake feel.
Brake force distribution
During braking while driving through turns,
the system optimizes the distribution of
force to each of the four wheels depending
on the radius of the turn.
WARNING
- The VDC system is designed to help
the driver maintain stability but does
not prevent accidents due to abrupt
steering operation at high speeds or
by careless or dangerous driving
techniques.Reduce vehicle speed and
be especially carefulwhendrivingand
cornering on slippery surfaces and always
drive carefully.
- Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
If suspension parts such as
shock absorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer
bars, bushings and wheels are
not NISSAN recommended for your
vehicle or are extremely deteriorated,
the VDC system may not operate
properly. This could adversely affect
vehicle handling performance, and
the
indicator light may flash
or
both the
and
indicator
lights may illuminate.
- If brake related parts such as brake
pads, rotors and calipers are not
NISSAN recommended or are extremely
deteriorated, the VDC system
may not operate properly and both
the
and the
indicator lights
may illuminate.
- If engine control related parts are not
NISSAN recommended or are extremely
deteriorated, both the
and
indicator
lights may
illuminate.
- When driving on extremely inclined
surfaces such as higher banked corners,
theVDC system may not operate
properly and the
indicator
light
may flash or both the
and
indicator lightsmayilluminate.Do not
drive on these types of roads.
- When driving on an unstable surface
such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or
ramp, the
indicator light may
flash or both the
and
indicator
lights may illuminate. This is not
a malfunction. Restart the engine after
driving onto a stable surface.
- If wheels or tires other than the
NISSAN recommended ones are used,
the VDC system may not operate
properly and the
indicator
light
may flash or both the
and
indicator lights may illuminate.
- The VDC system is not a substitute for
winter tires or tire chains on a snow
covered road.
The VDC system uses various sensors to
monitor driver inputs and vehicle motion.
Under certain driving conditions, the VDC
system helps to perform the following
functions:
Controls brake pressure to reduce
wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel
so power is transferred to a nonslipping
drive wheel on the same axle...
WARNING
Never rely solely on the hill start assist
system to prevent the vehicle from
moving backward on a hill. Always
drive carefully and attentively...
Other information:
The lane camera unit for the LDW
system
is located above the inside mirror. To
keep the proper operation of the LDW system
and prevent a system malfunction, be
sure to observe the following:
Always keep the windshield clean.
Do not attach a sticker (including transparent
material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit...
Place a large drain pan under the drain
plug and oil filter.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Remove the drain plug with a wrench
by turning it counterclockwise and
completely drain the oil.CAUTION
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the
engine oil is hot...
