sible to detect the distance from the
vehicle ahead.
– When the sensor signal is temporar- ily interrupted
● The system may not function properly
under the following conditions:
– A preceding vehicle is with a large amount of ground clearance or pro-
truding freight (including a small ve-
hicle such as motorcycles) .
– When the sensor area of the front bumper gets dirty or it is impossible
to detect the distance from the ve-
hicle ahead.

● Depending on certain road conditions
(curved or beginning of a curve) , vehicle
conditions (steering position or vehicle
position) , or the preceding vehicle’s
conditions (position in lane, etc.) , the
system may not function properly. The
system may detect highly reflective ob-
jects such as guard rails, traffic signs
and other stationary objects on the road
or near the traveling lane and provide
unnecessary warning.
● The system may not function in offset
conditions.
● The system may not function when the
distance to the vehicle ahead is ex-
tremely close. ●
The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality. If the
sensor area of the front bumper is cov-
ered with ice, a transparent or translu-
cent bag, etc., the system may not de-
tect them. In these instances, the
system may not be able to warn the
driver properly. Be sure to check and
clean the sensor area of the front bum-
per regularly.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.

●Keep your engine tuned up.
● Follow the recommended scheduled main-
tenance.
● Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-
sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
● Keep all the wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
● Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
See “Engine oil and oil filter recommenda-
tions” in “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” in this manual. If any malfunction occurs in the AWD system
while the engine is running, the master warning
light will come on.
The master warning light may illuminate while
trying to free a stuck vehicle due to high pow-
ertrain oil temperature. The driving mode may
change to 2WD. AUTO mode may change to
LOCK mode before the warning light illuminates.
If the master warning light illuminates during op-
eration, stop the vehicle with the engine idling in a
safe place immediately.
Then if the light turns off after a while, you can
continue driving.
A large difference between the diameters of the
front and rear wheels will make the warning light
illuminate. Pull off the road in a safe area and idle
the engine. Check that all tire sizes are the same,
tire pressure is correct, and the tires are not worn.CAUTION
●
If the warning light remains on after the
above operation, have your vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.
● If the warning light comes on while driv-
ing, there may be a malfunction in the
AWD system.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have your
vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible.
● The powertrain may be damaged if you
continue driving with the warning light
illuminated.
● Never drive on dry, hard surface roads in
the LOCK mode, as this will overload
the powertrain and may cause a serious
malfunction.

WARNING
●For AWD equipped vehicles, do not at-
tempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with the
engine running. Doing so may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
● Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2–wheel dyna-
mometer (such as the dynamometers
used by some states for emissions test-
ing) or similar equipment even if the
other two wheels are raised off the
ground. Make sure that you inform the
test facility personnel that your vehicle
is equipped with AWD before it is
placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in
drive train damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
