Reduce vehicle speed and be especially careful when driv- ing and cornering on slippery sur- faces and always drive carefully.

￿If engine related parts such as a muf- fler are not standard equipment or are extremely deteriorated, the “VDC OFF” indicator or “SLIP” indicator or both indicator lights may illuminate.

￿Do not modify the vehicle’s suspen- sion. If suspension parts such as shock absorbers, struts, springs, sta- bilizer bars and bushings are not NISSAN-approved or are extremely deteriorated the VDC system may not operate properly.
