WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock brake
warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running,
it may indicate the anti-lock brake system is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the anti-
lock function ceases, but the regular braking
system continues to operate.If the light comes on while you are driving,
contact a NISSAN dealer for repair.
The ABS system will be disabled and the ABS
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 ABS system will be
enabled and the ABS light will turn off.
Automatic transmission oil
temperature warning light (if

sion oil temperature is too high. If the light comes
on while driving, reduce the vehicle speed as
soon as safely possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the A/T
oil temperature warning light is on may
damage the automatic transmission.

WARNING
cIf the ATP light is ON, this indicates that
the automatic transmission P (Park) po-
sition will not function and the transfer
case is in neutral.
cWhen parking, always make sure that
the 4WD shift indicator light illuminates
and the parking brake is set. Failure to
engage the transfer position in 2WD, 4H
or 4LO could result in the vehicle mov-
ing unexpectedly, resulting in serious
personal injury or property damage.
cShift the 4WD switch into the 2WD, 4H
or 4LO position again to turn off the ATP
warning light when the automatic trans-
mission selector lever is in the P posi-
tion and the ATP warning light is ON.
(Before shifting the 4WD switch into the
4LO position, move the automatic
transmission selector lever into the N
position once, shift the selector lever
