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 vehicle 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 or
similar equipment 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 drive-
train
damage or unexpected vehicle
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 for all mode 4WD
vehicles, stop the vehicle and shift
the shift selector to the N (Neutral)
position with the brake pedal de-
pressed and shift the 4WD shift
switch to 2WD.
– in the 4LO position for part time 4WD
vehicles, stop the vehicle and shift
the shift selector to the N (Neutral)
position with the brake pedal de-
pressed 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.
