I have noticed when I am attempting to climb a hill and things are slipping, occasionally the throttle does nothing. Is this the VDC chopping power?

I think it's your traction control which reduces throttle input to regain traction. The VDC is more likely to apply the brakes when the Murano tail end starts to come out to keep it on the intended line.
