to the N position with the brake pedal depressed, then depress and turn the 4WD shift switch to 4LO or 4H. You cannot move the transfer 4WD shift switch between 4H and 4LO unless you stop the vehicle and shift the shift selector to the N position with the brake pedal depressed. Part time 4WD (if so equipped) The 4LO indicator light must stop blinking and remain illuminated or turn off before shifting the transmission into gear. If the shift selector is shifted from the N position to any other gear when the 4LO indicator light is blinking, the vehicle may move unexpectedly. When you shift between 4H and 4LO, stop the vehicle and shift the transmission selector lever to the N position with the brake pedal depressed, then depress and turn the 4WD shift switch to 4LO or 4H. You cannot move the transfer 4WD shift switch between 4H and 4LO unless you stop the vehicle and shift the shift selector to the N position with the brake pedal depressed. Both lights flash when the hazard switch is turned on. Vehicle Dynamic Control off indicator light This indicator light comes on when the Vehicle Dynamic Control off switch is pushed to OFF, the transfer case is in the 4LO position ( model), or when the Vehicle Dynamic Control system is not functioning properly. This indicates the Vehicle Dynamic Control system is not operating. Push the Vehicle Dynamic Control off switch again or restart the engine and the system will operate normally. See "Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system" in the "Starting and driving" section of this manual. The Vehicle Dynamic Control light also comes on when you place the ignition switch in the ON position. The light will turn off after about 2 seconds if the system is operational. If the light stays on or comes on along with the SLIP indicator light while you are driving, have the Vehicle Dynamic Control system checked by a NISSAN dealer. If the battery is removed or discharged, the Vehicle Dynamic Control system is disabled and the VDC indicator light will not turn off after 2 seconds when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position. To reset the system, you must perform the reset procedure. Refer to "Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system" in the "Starting and driving" section of this manual. If the light does not go off after performing the reset procedure, have the traction control system checked by a NISSAN dealer. While the Vehicle Dynamic Control system is operating, you might feel slight vibration or hear the system working when starting the vehicle or accelerating, but this is normal. AUDIBLE REMINDERS Brake pad wear warning The disc brake pads have audible wear warnings. When a disc brake pad requires replacement, it makes a high pitched scraping sound when the vehicle is in motion, whether or not the brake pedal is depressed. Have the brakes checked as soon as possible if the warning sound is heard. Key reminder chime A chime sounds if the driver's door is opened while the key is left in the ignition switch. Remove the key and take it with you when leaving the vehicle. Turn signal/hazard indicator lights The appropriate light flashes when the turn signal switch is activated. 2-22 Instruments and controls
