Slip indicator light for models with ABLS (if so equipped) This indicator light comes on if the active brake limited slip is activated. If activated, the system will apply braking to the slipping drive wheel(s), giving the non-slipping wheel(s) more traction. If the light does not go off after performing the reset procedure, have the traction control system checked by a NISSAN dealer. When you shift between 4H and 4LO, follow the instructions below: ● For automatic transmission models, stop the vehicle and shift the shift selector to the N (Neutral) position with the brake pedal depressed, then depress and turn the 4WD shift switch to 4LO or 4H. ● For manual transmission models, stop the vehicle and shift the shift selector to the N (Neutral) position with the clutch 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 (AT models) or clutch pedal (MT models) depressed. Transfer 4LO position indicator light ( model) The light should turn off within 1 second after turning the ignition switch to ON. This light comes on when the 4WD shift switch is set in the 4LO position with the ignition switch in the ON position. The transfer case may be damaged if you shift the switch while driving. Make sure the transfer 4LO position indicator light turns on when you shift the 4WD shift switch to 4LO. The indicator light may blink while shifting from one drive mode to the other. 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 (Neutral) position to any other gear when the 4LO indicator light is blinking, the vehicle may move unexpectedly. Slip indicator light for models with VDC (if so equipped) This indicator light will blink when the traction control system is limiting wheel spin. Slippery road conditions may exist if the slip indicator blinks on. If this happens, adjust your driving accordingly. The slip indicator light also comes on when you turn the ignition key to the ON position. The light will turn off after about 2 seconds if the system is operational. If the light does not come on or does not go off, have the traction control system checked by a NISSAN dealer. If the battery is removed or discharged, the traction control system is disabled and the slip indicator light will not turn off after 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned to 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. Turn signal/hazard indicator lights The appropriate light flashes when the turn signal switch is activated. Both lights flash when the hazard switch is turned on. Instruments and controls 2-21
