● When cruising at highway speeds, it is more

economical to use the air conditioner and

leave the windows closed to reduce drag.

● For vehicles equipped with

, use 4H

or 4L position only when necessary. Four-

wheel drive operation lowers fuel economy.

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 for emissions testing), 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 drivetrain damage or unex-

pected vehicle movement which could

result in serious vehicle damage or per-

sonal 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 automatic transmission

shift selector lever to the N position

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.

TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING

PROCEDURES

The part time 4WD system provides 3 positions

(2WD, 4H and 4LO), so you can select the
