2017 NISSAN TITAN engine

When the E-Lock system switch is turned ON,
the indicator light will flash until the system en-
gages. However, if all operation conditions listed
above are not met or the system becomes disen-
gaged, the indicator light will continue to flash.
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 VDC light
illuminates when the E-Lock system is ON.
For additional information, refer to “Electronic
locking rear differential (E-Lock) system” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this manual for
further explanation and system limitations.
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
stuck vehicle even using 4LO. Never use
the E-Lock system on a slippery road
surface such as snow or ice surface.
Using the E-Lock system when driving
in these road conditions may cause un-
expected movement of the vehicle dur-
ing engine braking, accelerating 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 drivetrain
components from extended use.
● 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 drive-
train components 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.)
● Avoid quick starts while the E-Lock sys-
tem is in operation. Otherwise the drive-
train components could be damaged.
● Observe the above cautions. Otherwise,
loss of normal steering may result.
2-66Instruments and controls

To use the outlets for devices that require 120v
power, place the ignition in the ON position and
push the power inverter switch.
The 400W or 150W on the switch will illuminate
according to the mode selected. Only the 150W
is available when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position and the vehicle is being driven.
For additional information, refer to “120v outlets”
in this section regarding using devices that re-
quire the power inverter switch activated.
CAUTION
●Use power outlets with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
● Do not attempt to use this while driving.
● Do not use double adapters or more
than one electrical accessory, doing so
could significantly drain the battery of
your vehicle.
The parking sensor (sonar) system OFF switch
on the instrument panel allows the driver to turn
the parking sensor (sonar) system, Moving Ob-
ject Detection (MOD) , and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA) system on and off. To turn the
systems on and off, the ignition switch must be in
the ON position.
The indicator light on the switch will illuminate
when the systems are turned on.
If the indicator light flashes when the parking
sensor (sonar) , MOD, or RCTA systems are not
turned off, it may indicate a malfunction in one or
more of these systems.

The parking sensor (sonar) , MOD, or RCTA sys-
tems will be turned on automatically under the
following conditions:● When the ignition switch is switched from
the OFF position to the ON position.
● When the shift lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position.
● When the vehicle speed increases to 6 mph
(10 km/h) and decreases.
The automatic turning on function can be turned
on and off for these systems in the vehicle infor-
mation display (if so equipped) . For additional
information, refer to “Settings” in the “Instrument
and controls” section of this manual.
For additional information, refer to “Front and rear
sonar system” or “Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA)” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual, or the “Moving Object Detection
(MOD)” in the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone
and voice recognition systems” section of this
manual. Tow mode should be used when pulling a heavy
trailer or hauling a heavy load. Driving the vehicle
in the tow mode with no trailer/load or light
trailer/light load will not cause any damage. How-
ever, fuel economy may be reduced, and the
transmission/engine driving characteristics may
feel unusual.
Push the tow mode switch to activate tow mode.
The TOW indicator light illuminates when tow
mode is selected. Push the tow mode switch
again to turn tow mode off.
Tow mode is automatically canceled when the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.For additional information, refer to “Tow mode” in

Do not use the outlet located in the truck box with
accessories that exceed 120 volt. Do not use
double adapters or more than one electrical ac-
cessory. When the dual wall bed liner is installed
(if so equipped) , the power outlet is still acces-
sible through the access door in the bed liner.
CAUTION
●Operation of the 120 volt system with
the ignition in the ON position and the
engine not running (idle) will drain the
battery charge. This could lead to a
dead battery or no start condition.
● The outlet and plug may be hot during
or immediately after use.
● Use power outlets with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
● Do not use double adaptors or more
than one electrical accessory.

PERSONAL LIGHTS (if so equipped)
To turn the rear personal lights on, push the
switch. To turn them off, push the switch again.The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
● Will operate most radio frequency devices
such as garage doors, gates, home and of-
fice lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
● Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all program-
ming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (Example: new vehicle purchases) .
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes. For
additional information, refer to “Program-
ming HomeLink®” in this section.
WARNING
● Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982) . A ga-
rage door opener which cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing garage
door and then automatically stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
● During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
● Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver. Do not breathe
exhaust gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
