HILL DESCENT CONTROL (HDC) SYSTEM (if so equipped) ● The hill descent control may not control 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. The hill descent control system can only be activated when the AWD LOCK switch is engaged. The hill descent control system helps maintain vehicle speed when driving under 15 MPH (25 km/h) on steeper downhill grades. Hill descent control is useful when engine braking alone cannot control vehicle speed. Hill descent control applies the vehicle brakes to control vehicle speed allowing the driver to concentrate on steering while reducing the burden of brake and accelerator operation. If the hill descent control light is blinking, the hill descent control is engaged however the hill descent control will not control the vehicle speed. ● When additional braking is required on steep downhill roads, activate the hill descent control system by pushing the switch ON. See "Hill descent control switch" in the "Instruments and controls" section. LSD2186 LSD2191 When brake control of active ride control is operated and the "Chassis Control" mode is selected in the trip computer, the active ride control graphics are shown in the vehicle information display. See "Trip Computer" in "Instruments and Controls" for more information. If the chassis control warning message appears in the vehicle information display, it may indicate that the active ride control is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. 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. WARNING ● Never rely solely on the hill descent control system to control vehicle speed when driving on steep downhill grades. Always drive carefully and attentively when using the hill descent control system and decelerate the vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal if necessary. Be especially 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. 5-48 Starting and driving ** Click HERE to see "Owner's Manual Supplement" beginning on page 2. **
