Slip indicator light for models

with ABLS (if so equipped)

This indicator light comes on if the active brake

limited slip is activated. If activated, the system

will apply braking to the slipping drive wheel(s),

giving the non-slipping wheel(s) more traction.

Slip indicator light for models

with VDC (if so equipped)

This indicator light will blink when the traction

control system is limiting wheel spin. Slippery

road conditions may exist if the slip indicator

blinks on. If this happens, adjust your driving

accordingly.
The slip indicator light also comes on when you

turn the ignition key to the ON position. The light

will turn off after about 2 seconds if the system is

operational. If the light does not come on or does

not go off, have the traction control system

checked by a NISSAN dealer.
If the battery is removed or discharged, the trac-

tion control system is disabled and the slip indi-

cator light will not turn off after 2 seconds when

the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.

To reset the system, you must perform the reset

procedure. Refer to “Vehicle Dynamic Control

(VDC) system” in the “Starting and driving” sec-

tion of this manual.

If the light does not go off after performing the

reset procedure, have the traction control system

checked by a NISSAN dealer.

Transfer 4LO position

indicator light (

model)

The light should turn off within 1 second after

turning the ignition switch to ON.
This light comes on when the 4WD shift switch is

set in the 4LO position with the ignition switch in

the ON position.
The transfer case may be damaged if you shift the

switch while driving.
Make sure the transfer 4LO position indicator

light turns on when you shift the 4WD shift switch

to 4LO.
The indicator light may blink while shifting

from one drive mode to the other.
The 4LO indicator light must stop blinking and

remain illuminated or turn off before shifting the

transmission into gear. If the shift selector is

shifted from the N (Neutral) position to any other

gear when the 4LO indicator light is blinking, the

vehicle may move unexpectedly.

When you shift between 4H and 4LO, follow the

instructions below:

● For automatic transmission models, stop the

vehicle and shift the shift selector to the N

(Neutral) position with the brake pedal de-

pressed, then depress and turn the 4WD

shift switch to 4LO or 4H.

● For manual transmission models, stop the

vehicle and shift the shift selector to the N

(Neutral) position with the clutch pedal de-

pressed, then depress and turn the 4WD

shift switch to 4LO or 4H.

You cannot move the transfer 4WD shift switch

between 4H and 4LO unless you stop the vehicle

and shift the shift selector to the N position with

the brake pedal (AT models) or clutch pedal (MT

models) depressed.
