switch is turned to ON. It turns off soon after the
engine is started.
If any malfunction occurs in the 4WD system
when the key switch is ON, the warning light will
either remain illuminated or blink.
High-temperature power-train oil makes the
warning light blink rapidly (about twice per sec-
ond). The driving mode will change to 2WD.
AUTO mode may change to LOCK mode before
the warning light blinks. This is normal. If the
warning light blinks rapidly during operation,
stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately.
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 two seconds).
Change the 4WD mode switch into 2WD and
do not drive fast.
WARNING
Do not attempt to test a 4WD equipped
vehicle with two wheels on a two wheel
dynamometer and the other two wheels
raised. Doing so may result in transmis-
sion damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in serious
vehicle damage or personal injury.
CAUTION
쐌 If the warning light comes on while
driving, 4WD mode will be changed
to 2WD mode. Reduce the vehicle
speed and have your vehicle checked
by a NISSAN dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
쐌 When the warning light comes on,
the 2WD mode may be engaged even
if the 4WD mode switch is in AUTO or
LOCK. Be especially careful when
driving.
쐌 Never drive on dry hard surface roads
in the LOCK mode, as this will over-
load the power-train and may cause a
serious malfunction.
쐌 If the warning light is still on, have
your vehicle checked by a NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.
쐌 The power-train may be damaged if
you continue driving with the warning
light blinking rapidly.
