2019 NISSAN FRONTIER traction control

Operation
The MIL will come on in one of two ways:∙ MIL on steady — An emission control system malfunction has been de-
tected. Check the fuel-filler cap if the
LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears in
the trip computer. If the fuel-filler cap is
loose or missing, tighten or install the
cap and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
light should turn off af ter a
few driving trips. If the
light does
not turn off af ter a few driving trips, have
the vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.
∙
MIL blinking — An engine misfire has been
detected which may damage the emis-
sion control system. To reduce or avoid
emission control system damage:
– Do not drive at speeds above 45 mph (72 km/h).
– Avoid hard acceleration or decelera- tion.
– Avoid steep uphill grades.
– If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed. The MIL may stop blinking and come on
steady. Have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.
Overdrive OFF indicator
light (if so equipped)
This light comes on when the overdrive
function is off.
The automatic transmission overdrive
function is controlled by the overdrive OFF
switch.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on for about
2 seconds. If the light comes on at any
other time, it may indicate the automatic
transmission system is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. For additional information, refer to “Driving
the vehicle” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual.
Security indicator light (if
so equipped)
This light blinks when the ignition switch is
in the OFF, LOCK or ACC position. This func-
tion indicates the security systems
equipped on the vehicle are operational.
For additional information, refer to “Security
systems” in this section.
SET indicator light
The light comes on while the vehicle speed
is controlled by the cruise control system. If
the light blinks while the engine is running,
it may indicate the cruise control system is
not functioning properly. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Slip indicator light
This indicator light will blink when the Ve-
hicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system is op-
erating, thus alerting the driver to the fact
that the road surface is slippery and the
vehicle is nearing its traction limits.
2-22Instruments and controls

The VDC light also comes on when you turn
the ignition key to the ON position. The light
will turn off af ter about 2 seconds if the
system is operational. If the light stays on
or comes on along with the
indicator
light while you are driving, have the VDC
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
If the battery is removed or discharged, the
VDC system is disabled and the VDC indi-
cator light will not turn off af ter 2 seconds
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position. To reset the system, you must
perform the reset procedure. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) system” in the “Start-
ing and driving” section of this manual.
If the light does not go off af ter performing
the reset procedure, have the traction con-
trol system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.
While the VDC system is operating, you
might feel slight vibration or hear the sys-
tem working when starting the vehicle or
accelerating, but this is normal.
The VDC system will be disabled and the
VDC light will illuminate when the elec-
tronic locking rear differential (E-lock) sys- tem 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 VDC system will be enabled
and the VDC light will turn off.
AUDIBLE REMINDERS

The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a disc brake pad requires
replacement, it makes a high pitched
scraping sound when the vehicle is in mo-
tion, whether or not the brake pedal is de-
pressed. Have the brakes checked as soon
as possible if the warning sound is heard.
Key reminder chime
A chime sounds if the driver’s door is
opened while the key is lef t in the ignition
switch. Remove the key and take it with you
when leaving the vehicle.
Light reminder chime
With the ignition switch placed in the OFF
position, a chime sounds when the driver’s
door is opened if the headlights or parking
lights are on.
Turn the headlight control switch off before
leaving the vehicle.

The E-Lock system can help provide added
traction if the vehicle is stuck or becoming
stuck.
To activate the E-Lock system:∙ The 4WD switch must be in the 4LO po- sition (4-Wheel Drive vehicles),
∙ The vehicle must be stopped or moving at 4 mph (7 km/h) or less, and
∙ The E-Lock system switch must be turned on. When the E-Lock switch is turned on, the
indicator light will flash until the system
engages. However, if all operation condi-
tions listed above are not met or the sys-
tem becomes disengaged, the indicator
light will continue to flash.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is dis-
abled 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 “Elec-
tronic locking rear differential (E-Lock) sys-
tem” 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. Af ter using the E-Lock system
to free the vehicle, turn the system off. ∙ Use the E-Lock system only when
freeing a stuck vehicle. Try the 4LO po-
sition before using the E-Lock system.
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 vehicle during engine braking, ac-
celerating or turning, which may re-
sult in an accident and serious per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION
∙ Af ter using the E-Lock system, turnthe switch off to prevent possible
damage to driveline components
from extended use.
∙ Do not drive over 12 mph (20 km/h) when the system is engaged. Doing so
could result in possible damage to the
driveline.
∙ Do not turn on the E-Lock system while the tires are spinning. Doing so
could damage drivetrain
components.LIC0729
