System Description: Functions: VDC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Infiniti FX45 and 2008 Infiniti FX35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In addition to the TCS/ABS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected from steering angle sensor and pressure sensor, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of under steering / over steering) is determined from information from G sensor, wheel sensor, etc., and this information is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine power to all four wheels.
SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.
During VDC operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical noises may be heard. This is normal.
ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp might turn on when vehicle is subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when vehicle is on a turn table, a ship or a steep slope such as bank while engine is running. In this case, restart engine on a normal road, and if ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no malfunction.
