The Malfunction Indicator Light may stop blinking and come on steady. Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer. For additional information, see "Security systems" later in this section. Slip indicator light for models with ABLS 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. 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 lever is shifted from the N (Neutral) position to any other gear when the 4LO indicator light is blinking, the vehicle may move unexpectedly. When you shift between 4H and 4LO, follow the instructions below: ● For automatic transmission models, stop the vehicle and shift the shift lever 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 lever 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 lever to the N position with the brake pedal (A/T models) or clutch pedal (M/T models) depressed. CAUTION Continued vehicle operation without having the emission control system checked and repaired as necessary could lead to poor driveability, reduced fuel economy, and possible damage to the emission control system. Slip indicator light for models with VDC This indicator will blink when the VDC system or the traction control system is operating, thus alerting that the vehicle is nearing its traction limits. The road surface may be slippery. Overdrive OFF indicator light (A/T models only) This light comes on when the overdrive function is OFF. The automatic transmission overdrive function is controlled by the overdrive switch. See "Driving the vehicle" in the "Starting and driving" section of this manual. Transfer 4LO position indicator model) light ( 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. Security indicator light (if so equipped) This light blinks when the ignition switch is in the OFF, LOCK or ACC position. The blinking security indicator light indicates that the security systems equipped on the vehicle are operational. 2-22 Instruments and controls
