WARNING The I-TC may not be effective depend- ing on the driving condition. Always drive carefully and attentively.
When the I-TC is operating, you may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise. This is normal and indicates that the I-TC is operating properly. You may also feel deceleration when the I-TC is operating. However, this is not a malfunction. ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL (ARC) (if so equipped) This system senses upper body motion and controls four wheel brake pressure. This will enhance ride comfort in an effort to restrain uncomfortable upper body movement when passing over undulated road surfaces. When the VDC system is turned off, the ARC is also turned off.
If the chassis control system error warning message appears in the vehicle informa- tion display, it may indicate that the ARC is not functioning properly. Have the system checked as soon as possible. It is recom- mended that you visit an NISSAN dealer for this service.

WARNING
• Never rely solely on the hill descent
control system to control vehicle speed when driving on steep down- hill grades. Always drive carefully and attentively when using the hill de- scent control system and decelerate the vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal if necessary. Be espe- cially careful when driving on frozen, muddy or extremely steep downhill roads. Failure to control vehicle speed may result in a loss of control of the vehicle and possible serious injury or death.
• The hill descent control may not con- trol the vehicle speed on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to control vehicle speed. Failure to do so may result in a collision or serious personal injury.
