But Nissan does not offer the VDC and rear E-locker together, a common compliant from owners. All Nissan would need to do is have the E-locker button automatically turn off the VDC.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case. In Mercedes, if you turn off ESP (stability control), then it will only increase the threshold before ESP kicks in. Therefore, it is never totally off. BMW stability system can be turned off completely. Toyota 4runner system can be turned off completely by locking center diff. So, Nissan's system may be similar to Mercedes.

Of course, turning off VDC for E-locker may make Nissan more susceptible to dumbass lawsuits by some idiot who ran his Titan over a cliff because he was testing the locker.
