Hey Bwalker, I have to agree with you. My manual says the same thing as yours. Sorry for the confusion, but the Titan manual that is Online at [www.nissan-techinfo.com] has completely different wording. I have included it below. Maybe Nissan should update their online information.

Silly of me to think that they would match.

Copied from the ONLINE manual: pg 5-29

The VDC system uses an Active Brake Limited
Slip (ABLS) system to improve vehicle traction.
The ABLS system works when one of the driving
wheels is spinning on a slippery surface. The
ABLS system brakes the spinning wheel which
distributes the driving power to the other drive
wheel. If the vehicle is operated with the vehicle
dynamic control system off using the VDC OFF
switch, all VDC and ABLS functions will be
turned off. The ABS will still operate with the VDC
system off. If the ABLS system is activated, the
slip indicator light will blink and you may hear a
clunk noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal.
While the VDC system is operating, you may feel
a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise or
vibration from under the hood. This is normal and
indicates that the VDC system is working properly.
The computer has a built in diagnostic feature
that tests the system each time you start the
engine and move the vehicle forward or in reverse
at a slow speed. When the self-test occurs, you
may hear a clunk noise and/or feel a pulsation in
the brake pedal. This is normal and is not an
indication of a malfunction.
5-29

Me again:
It seems to have been rewritten...if only to confuse....

Oh well, not the first time I have been fooled...
