System Description: Functions: VDC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Infiniti M45 and 2008 Infiniti M35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Vehicle Dynamics Control system detects driver's steering operation amount and brake pedal travel from steering angle sensor and pressure sensor. Using information from yaw rate/side G sensor and wheel sensor, VDC judges driving condition (conditions of under steer and over steer) to improve vehicle driving stability by controlling brake application to 4 wheels and engine output.
During VDC operation, it informs driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
