AWD WARNING LIGHT

The AWD warning light located in the instrument
panel illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position. It turns off soon after
the engine is started.

If any malfunction occurs in the AWD system

while the engine is running, or while driving, the
warning light will either remain illuminated or
blink.

High-temperature power train oil due to con-
tinuous operation of the vehicle to free a stuck
vehicle makes the warning light blink rapidly
(about twice per second). The driving mode may
change to the 2WD mode. If the warning light
blinks rapidly during operation, stop the vehicle
with the engine idling in a safe place immedi-
ately. Then if the light goes off after a while, you
can continue driving.

A large difference between the diameters of
front and rear wheels will make the warning light
blink slowly (about once per 2 seconds). Pull off
the road in a safe area, and idle the engine.
Check that all tire sizes are the same, tire
pressure is correct and tires are not worn.
Change the AWD mode switch to the 2WD
mode and do not drive fast.

CAUTION

. If the warning light illuminates while

driving, AWD mode will be changed
to 2WD mode. Reduce the vehicle
speed and have your v ehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible. Be especially
careful when driving.
