and the transfer gear is correctly set in the 4LO position. If the vehicle is shifted into gear before the indicator is on steady, the transfer gear may grind, not
engage correctly or stay in the (N) Neutral position.
Starting and driving5-45

The transfer case 4WD shift switch is used to
select either 2WD or 4WD depending on the
driving conditions. There are three types of drive
modes available, 2WD, 4H and 4LO.
The 4WD shift switch electronically controls the
transfer case operation. Rotate the switch to
move between each mode, 2WD, 4H and 4LO.
To change into or out of 4LO, the vehicle
MUST be stationary, shift the shift lever to
(N) Neutral, and depress the brake pedal.
The switch must be pushed and turned to
select 4LO.
WARNING
●When parking, apply the parking brake
before stopping the engine and make
sure that the 4WD shift indicator light is
on and the ATP warning light goes off.
Otherwise, the vehicle could unexpect-
edly move even if the automatic trans-
mission is in the P position.
● The 4LO indicator light must stop blink-
ing and remain illuminated or turn off
before shifting the transmission into
gear. If the shift lever is shifted from the
“N” position to any other gear when the
4LO indicator light is blinking, the ve-
hicle may move unexpectedly.
CAUTION
● Never shift the 4WD shift switch be-
tween 4LO and 4H while driving.
● The 4H position provides greater trac-
tion. Avoid excessive speed, as it will
cause increased fuel consumption and
higher oil temperatures, and could
damage drivetrain components. Speeds
over 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4H is not
recommended.
● The 4LO position provides maximum
power and traction. Avoid raising ve-
hicle speed excessively, as the maxi-
mum speed is approximately 31 mph
(50 km/h).
● When driving straight, shift the 4WD
shift switch to the 2WD or 4H position.
Do not move the 4WD shift switch when
making a turn or reversing.
● Do not shift the 4WD shift switch (be-
tween 2WD and 4H) while driving on
steep downhill grades. Use the engine
brake and low automatic transmission
gears (D1 or D2) for engine braking.
● Do not operate the 4WD shift switch
(between 2WD and 4H) with the rear
wheels spinning. ●
Do not drive on dry hard surface roads
in the 4H or 4LO position. Driving on dry
hard surfaces in 4H or 4LO may cause
unnecessary noise and tire wear.
NISSAN recommends driving in the
2WD position under these conditions.
● The 4WD transfer case may not be
shifted between 4H and 4LO at low am-
bient temperatures and the transfer
4LO position indicator light may blink
even when the 4WD shift switch is
shifted. After driving for a while you can
change the 4WD transfer case between
4H and 4LO.
When driving on rough roads, ● Set the 4WD shift switch to 4H or 4LO.
● Drive carefully according to the road surface
conditions.
When the vehicle is stuck, ● Set the 4WD shift switch to 4H or 4LO.
● Place stones or wooden blocks under the
tires to free the vehicle.
Starting and driving5-47

●Use the Electronic Locking Rear Differential
(E-Lock) system (if so equipped) . For addi-
tional information, refer to “Electronic lock-
ing rear differential (E-lock) system” in this
section for further explanation and system
limitations.
● If it is difficult to free the vehicle, rock the
vehicle back and forth between reverse and
drive gears.
● If the vehicle is stuck deep in mud, place
stones or wooden blocks under the tires.
Then try the recovery procedures above. Tire
chains may be effective.
CAUTION
● Do not spin the tires excessively. Tires
will sink deep into the mud, making it
difficult to free the vehicle.
● Avoid shifting gears with the engine
running at high speeds as this may
cause malfunction.4WD shift switch operations
● Shift the 4WD shift switch to either the
2WD, 4H or 4LO position, depending on
driving conditions.
● If the 4WD shift switch is operated
while making a turn, accelerating or
decelerating or if the key switch is
turned off while in the 4H or 4LO, you
may feel a jolt. This is not abnormal.
● You may hear some noise as the sys-
tem shifts or engages. This is not ab-
normal.
CAUTION
● When driving straight, shift the 4WD
shift switch to the 2WD or 4H position.
Do not move the 4WD shift switch when
making a turn or reversing.
● Do not shift the 4WD shift switch while
driving on steep downhill grades. Use
the engine brake and low automatic
transmission gears (D1 or D2) for en-
gine braking.
● Do not operate the 4WD shift switch
with the rear wheels spinning.
● Before placing the 4WD shift switch in
the 4H position from 2WD, ensure the
vehicle speed is less than 62 mph
(100 km/h). Failure to do so can damage
the 4WD system.
● Never shift the 4WD shift switch be-
tween 4LO and 4H while driving.

CAUTION
●If the warning light comes on during
operation or rapidly after stopping the
vehicle for a while, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
● Shifting between 4H and 4LO is not
recommended when the 4WD warning
light turns on.
● When the warning light comes on, the
2WD mode may be engaged even if the
4WD shift switch is in 4H. Be especially
careful when driving. If corresponding
parts are malfunctioning, the 4WD
mode will not be engaged even if the
4WD shift switch is shifted.
● Do not drive the vehicle in the 4H or 4LO
position on dry hard surface roads. Driv-
ing on dry, hard surfaces in 4H or 4LO
may cause unnecessary noise, tire wear
and increased fuel consumption.
If the 4WD warning light turns on when
you are driving on dry hard surface
roads:
– in the 4H position, shift the 4WD shift switch to 2WD. – in the 4LO position, stop the vehicle,
move the automatic transmission
shift lever to the N position with the
brake pedal depressed, and shift the
4WD shift switch to 2WD.
● If the warning light is still on after the
above operation, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
● The transfer case may be damaged if
you continue driving with the warning
message on. The E-Lock system can provide additional trac-
tion and should only be used when a vehicle has
become or is becoming stuck. This system oper-
ates by electronically “locking” the two rear drive
wheels together, allowing them to turn at the
same speed. The system is used when it is not
possible to free a stuck vehicle even when using
the 4LO position (4-wheel drive vehicles) .
When added traction is required, activate the
E-Lock system by pushing the switch on. For
additional information, refer to “Electronic locking
rear differential (E-Lock) system switch” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of this manual.
Once the system fully engages, the indicator light
in the instrument panel will remain on. When the
system is activated, both rear wheels will engage,
providing added traction.
The rear wheels may momentarily slip or move to
engage the system, and the system will only
engage up to approximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
Once the vehicle is free, the system should be
turned off and driving resumed.
The Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) system is disabled
and the ABS light illuminates when the E-Lock
system is on. Also, the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system is disabled and the
light
illuminates when the E-Lock system is on.

5-50Starting and driving

WARNING
●Never leave the E-lock system on when
driving on paved or hard-surfaced
roads. Turning the vehicle may result in
the rear wheels slipping and result in an
accident and personal injury. After us-
ing the E-lock system to free the ve-
hicle, turn the system off.
● Use the E-lock system only in an emer-
gency when it is not possible to free a
struck vehicle even when using 4LO.
Never use the E-Lock system on a slip-
pery road surface such as snow or ice
surface. Using the E-Lock system when
driving in these road conditions may
cause unexpected movement of the ve-
hicle during engine braking, accelerat-
ing or turning, which may result in an
accident and serious personal injury.
● Observe the above warnings. Other-
wise, loss of normal steering control
may result. This may result in an acci-
dent and serious personal injury.
CAUTION
● After using the E-lock system, or during
normal driving, turn the switch off to
prevent possible damage to driveline
components from extended use.
● Avoid quick starts while the E-lock sys-
tem is in operation. Otherwise, the
power train system parts could be
damaged.
● When the E-lock system is in operation,
turning the vehicle becomes difficult.
This can be dangerous, especially at
high speeds. Doing so could damage
drivetrain components.
● Do not operate the E-lock system when
the vehicle is turning or when one side
wheel is rotating. Otherwise, the power
train system parts could be damaged.
● The E-lock system operates only when
the engine is running.
● In 4H mode, the E-lock system does not
operate when the E-lock system switch
is turned to the ON position. (The E-lock
system indicator light will flash.)
● Observe the above cautions. Otherwise,
loss of normal steering control may
result. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position,
ECO management display appears.
