Operation Manual

WARNING
The active trace control may not be effec-
tive depending on the driving condition.
Always drive carefully and attentively.
When the Active Trace Control is operating, you
may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a
noise. This is normal and indicates that the Active
Trace Control is operating properly.
Even if the Active Trace Control is set to OFF,
some functions will remain on to assist the driver
(for example: avoidance scenes).
ACTIVE ENGINE BRAKE
The Active Engine Brake function adds subtle
deceleration by controlling CVT gear ratio, de-
pending on the cornering condition calculated
from driver’s steering input and plural sensors.
This benefit is for easier traceability and less
workload of adjusting speed with braking at cor-
ners.
The Active Engine Brake also enhances braking
feel by adding subtle deceleration with CVT gear
ratio control according to driver’s brake pedal
operation.
The Active Engine Brake can be set to ON (en-
abled) or OFF (disabled) through the vehicle
information display “Settings” page. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Vehicle information
display” in the “Instruments and controls” section
of this manual.
If the Integrated Dynamics-control Module warn-
ing message appears in the vehicle information
display, it may indicate that the Active Engine
Brake is not functioning properly. Have the sys-
tem checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
The Active Engine Brake may not be effec-
tive depending on driving condition. Al-
ways drive carefully and attentively.
When the Active Engine Brake is operating, the
needle of the tachometer will rise up and you may
hear an engine noise. This is normal and indicates
that the active engine brake is operating properly.
ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL
This system senses upper body motion (based
on wheel speed information) and controls engine
torque and four wheel brake pressure. This will
enhance ride comfort in effort to restrain uncom-
fortable upper body movement when passing
over undulated road surfaces. This system
comes into effect above 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the
VDC system, the Active Ride Control is also
turned off.
If the Integrated Dynamics-control Module warn-
ing message appears in the vehicle information
display, it may indicate that the Active Ride Con-
trol is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
When the Active Ride Control is operating, you
may hear noise and sense slight deceleration.
This is normal and indicates that the Active Ride
Control is operating properly.
