AWD WARNING LIGHT

The AWD warning light is located in the meter.

The AWD warning light 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, the warning light will
come on.

The warning light may blink rapidly (about twice
per second) while trying to free a stuck vehicle
due to high powertrain oil temperature. The
driving mode may change to 2WD. AUTO mode
may change to LOCK mode before the warning
light blinks. If the warning light blinks rapidly
during operation, stop the vehicle with the
engine idling in a safe place immediately. Then
if the light turns 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 two 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.

CAUTION

. If the warning light remains on after

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

. If the warning light comes on while

driving there may be a malfunction
in the AWD system. Reduce the
vehicle speed and have your vehicle

checked by a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible.

. The powertrain may be damaged if

you continue driving with the warn-
ing light blinking rapidly.

. Never drive on dry hard surface

roads in the LOCK mode, as this
will overload the powertrain and
may cause a serious malfunction.
