and is not an indication of a malfunction.
WARNING
O
The VDC system is designed to help im-
prove driving stability but does not pre-
vent accidents due to abrupt steering
operation at high speeds or due to care-
less or dangerous driving techniques.
Reduce vehicle speed and be especially
careful when driving and cornering on
slippery surfaces and always drive care-
fully.
O
If engine related parts such as muffler
are not standard equipment or are ex-
tremely deteriorated, the “VDC OFF” in-
dicator or “SLIP” indicator or both indi-
cator lights may illuminate.
O
Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
If suspension parts such as shock ab-
sorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars
and bushings are not INFINITI-approved
or are extremely deteriorated, the VDC
system may not operate properly. This
could adversely affect vehicle handling
performance, and the “VDC OFF” indi-
cator or “SLIP” indicator or both indi-
cator lights may illuminate.
O
If brake related parts such as brake
pads, rotors and calipers are not stan-
dard equipment or are extremely dete-
riorated, the “VDC OFF” indicator or
“SLIP” indicator or both indicator lights
may illuminate.
O
When driving on extremely inclined sur-
faces such as higher banked corners,
the VDC system may not operate prop-
erly and the “VDC OFF” indicator or
“SLIP” indicator or both indicator lights
may illuminate. Do not drive on these
types of roads.
O
When driving on an unstable surface
such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or
ramp, the “VDC OFF” indicator or “SLIP”
indicator or both indicator lights may il-
luminate. This is not a malfunction. Re-
start the engine after driving onto a
stable surface.
O
If wheels or tires other than those rec-
ommended are used, the VDC system
may not operate properly and the “VDC
OFF” indicator or “SLIP” indicator or
both indicator lights may illuminate.
O
The VDC system is not a substitute for
winter tires or tire chains on a snow cov-
ered road.
