REAR ACTIVE STEER (RAS) SYSTEM (if so equipped) If brake related parts such as brake pads, rotors and calipers are not standard equipment or are extremely deteriorated, the "VDC OFF" indicator or "SLIP" indicator or both indicator lights may illuminate. When driving on extremely inclined surfaces such as higher banked corners, the Vehicle Dynamic Control system may not operate properly and the "VDC OFF" indicator or "SLIP" indicator or both indicator lights may illuminate. Do not drive on these types of roads. When driving on an unstable surface such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or ramp, the "VDC OFF" indicator or "SLIP" indicator or both indicator lights may illuminate. This is not a malfunction. Restart the engine after driving onto a stable surface. If wheels or tires other than those recommended are used, the VDC system may not operate properly and the "VDC OFF" indicator or "SLIP" indicator or both indicator lights may illuminate. The VDC system is not a substitute for winter tires or tire chains on a snow covered road. The Rear Active Steer (RAS) system is an electronically controlled four-wheel steering system. The angle of the rear wheels are adjusted by the RAS system, depending on the vehicle speed and steering angle. The rear wheels are designed to turn momentarily in the opposite direction and then change to the same direction as the front wheels. At low speeds, the rear wheels will not turn and the system functions as a twowheel steering system. If a malfunction occurs in the system, the RAS function will stop but the ordinary two-wheel steering system will operate normally. The "RAS" warning light will illuminate. If the light illuminates while you are driving, contact an INFINITI dealer for repair. Starting and driving 5-29
