WARNING

For 4WD equipped vehicles, do not at-

tempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with the
engine running. Doing so may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.

Do not attempt to test a 4WD equipped

vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer
(such as the dynamometers used by
some states, provinces or territories for
emissions testing), or similar equip-
ment even if the other two wheels are
raised off the ground. Make sure you
inform test facility personnel that your
vehicle is equipped with 4WD before it
is placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.

CAUTION

Do not drive the vehicle in the 4H or 4LO

position on dry hard surface roads. Driv-
ing on dry, hard surfaces in 4H or 4LO
may cause unnecessary noise, tire wear
and increased fuel consumption.

If the 4WD warning light turns on when
you are driving on dry hard surface
roads:

– in the 4H position, shift the 4WD shift

switch to 2WD.

– in the 4LO position, stop the vehicle,

move the shift selector to the N posi-
tion with the brake pedal depressed,
and shift the 4WD shift switch to
2WD.

If the warning light is still on after the

above operation, have your vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.

The transfer case may be damaged if

you continue driving with the warning
light blinking.
