accident.— When it is not possible to keep
the vehicle at a constant speed
— When driving in heavy traffic
— When driving in traffic that var-
ies speed
— When driving in windy areas
— When driving on winding or hilly
roads
— When driving on slippery (rain,
snow, ice, etc.) roads
CAUTION
On Manual Transmission (MT) model,
do not shift to the N (Neutral) position
without depressing the clutch pedal
when the cruise control is operated.
Should this occur, depress the clutch
pedal and turn the Cruise ON/OFF
switch off immediately. Failure to do
so may cause engine damage.
PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CON-
TROL
.If the cruise control system malfunctions, it
will cancel automatically. The CRUISE in-
dicator in the vehicle information display will
then blink to warn the driver.
.If the CRUISE indicator blinks, turn the
Cruise ON/OFF switch off and have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
.The CRUISE indicator may blink when the
Cruise ON/OFF switch is turned ON while
pushing the RES/+, SET/-, or CANCEL
switch. To properly set the cruise control
system, perform the following procedures.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at speeds
above 25 MPH (40 km/h) without keeping your
foot on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control will automatically be canceled
if the vehicle slows down more than approxi-
mately 8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed.
Moving the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position
will cancel the cruise control.

AWD mode Wheels driven AWD LOCK indicator lightUse conditions
AUTODistribution of torque to the
front and rear wheels changes
automatically, depending on
road conditions encountered
[ratio; 100 : 0/?50 : 50].
This results in improved driv-
ing stability.*1-For driving on paved or
slippery roads
LOCK All-Wheel Drive (AWD) *2*3*
For driving on rough
roads
*1: When the rotation difference between the front
and rear wheels is large, the AWD mode may
change from AUTO to LOCK for a while,
however, this is not a malfunction.
*2: The LOCK mode will change to the AUTO mode
automatically when the vehicle has been driven
at a high speed. The AWD LOCK indicator light
turns off.
*3: The LOCK mode will automatically be cancelled
when the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
.The AWD torque distribution between the
front and rear wheels can be displayed in the
vehicle information display. See “Vehicle
information display” (P.2-18) .
.If the AWD LOCK switch is operated while
accelerating or decelerating, or if the ignition
switch is turned off, you may feel a jolt. This
is normal.
.The oil temperature of the powertrain parts
will increase if the vehicle is continuously
operated under conditions where the differ-
ence in rotation between the front and rear
wheels is large (wheel slip) , such as when
driving the vehicle on rough roads, through
sand or mud, or freeing a stuck vehicle. In
these cases, the master warning light
illuminates and the AWD mode changes to
2WD to protect the powertrain parts. Stop
driving with the engine idling and wait until
the warning light turns off and the AWDreturns to the AUTO mode. If the warning
light remains on, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
WARNING
.When driving straight, shift the AWD
LOCK switch to AUTO. Do not oper-
ate the AWD LOCK switch when
making a turn or backing up.
.Do not operate the AWD LOCK
switch with the front wheel spin-
ning.
.Engine idling speed is high while
warming up the engine. Be espe-
cially careful when starting or driv-
ing on slippery surfaces.
.When turning the vehicle in LOCK
mode on paved roads, you may feel
a braking effect. This is a normal
condition of the AWD model.
