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. If the battery is removed or discharged, the VDC system is disabled and the VDC 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. If the light does not go off after performing the reset procedure, have the traction control system checked by a NISSAN dealer. While the VDC system is operating, you might feel slight vibration or hear the system working when starting the vehicle or accelerating, but this is normal. The VDC system will be disabled and the VDC light will illuminate when the electronic locking rear differential (E-lock) system switch (if so equipped) is turned on and the E-lock system is engaged. If the E-lock system disengages or the switch is turned off, the VDC system will be enabled and the VDC light will turn off. 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. Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) OFF indicator light This indicator light comes on when the VDC off switch is pushed to OFF, the transfer case is in model), or when the the 4LO position ( VDC system is not functioning properly. This indicates the Vehicle Dynamic Control system is not operating. Push the VDC off switch again or restart the engine and the system will operate normally. For additional information, refer to "Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system" in the "Starting and driving" section of this manual. The VDC 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 stays on or comes on along with indicator light while you are driving, the have the VDC system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
