SIC2574
Push the switch on to warn other drivers
when you must stop or park under
emergency conditions. All turn signal
lights will flash.
WARNING
.If stopping for an emergency, be
sure to move the vehicle well off
the road.
. Do not use the hazard warning
flashers while moving on the
highway unless unusual circum-
stances force you to drive so
slowly that your vehicle might
become a hazard to other traffic. .
Turn signals do not work when
the hazard warning flasher lights
are on.
The flasher can be actuated with the
ignition switch in any position.
When an impact that could activate the
supplemental air bags is detected, the
hazard warning flasher lights blink auto-
matically. If the hazard warning flasher
switch is pushed twice, the hazard warn-
ing flashers will turn off.
WARNING
Do not turn the hazard warning
flasher switch to off until you can
make sure that it is safe to do so.
Also, the hazard flasher warning may
not blink automatically depending
on the force of impact.
Some state laws may prohibit the use of
the hazard warning flasher switch while
driving. In the event of a roadside emergency,
Roadside Assistance Service is available
to you. Please refer to your Warranty
Information Booklet (U.S.) or Warranty &
Roadside Assistance Information Booklet
(Canada) for details.
HAZARD WARNING FLASHER SWITCHROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

6-20In case of emergency
This section describes the procedure for
manually shifting the vehicle into the 4WD
mode (4L position) in case of an emer-
gency.
WHEN 4WD WARNING LIGHT ILLU-
MINATES
If the 4WD warning light illuminates while
driving, there may be a malfunction in the
4WD system. Stop the vehicle and have
the vehicle checked as soon as possible. It
is recommended you contact a NISSAN
dealer for this service. (See “NISSAN all-
mode 4WD®” (P.5-123).)
When the vehicle is stuck on an uneven
road (desert, mud, etc.) and the 4WD
warning light is illuminated, be sure to
place the 4WD shift switch in the 4L
position. If only the rear wheels are
spinning, this means that the transfer
has not switched to the 4L position
electrically.
If this situation occurs, contact a dealer or
road assistance service for help. If an
immediate service is not available, per-
form the following procedure to switch to
the 4L position manually and free the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Only perform this procedure in an
emergency.
If the vehicle is driven for a long
period of time over a long distance
with a component detached, foreign
material such as water, sand, etc.
may enter from the opening and this
may cause a malfunction in the
drivetrain system. After freeing a
vehicle that has become stuck, it is
recommended you contact a NISSAN
dealer for inspection and repair.
WARNING
.Ensure your safety before per-
forming the operations. The ve-
hicle may move unexpectedly.
. Place the ignition switch in the
OFF position, apply the parking
brake and let the vehicle cool
down.
. Do not perform the following
procedure immediately after
driving the vehicle. Parts such as
exhaust components, the trans- mission, etc. are very hot and
may cause a burn injury.
. Make sure that the parts that will
be operated as well as related
parts cool down before perform-
ing the operation.
. Burrs or projecting portions of
metal components may cause
unexpected injury to your fingers
or arms. Pay special attention in
regard to your safety while re-
moving and installing these
parts. Wear work gloves and pro-
tective arm covers.
CAUTION
While removing and installing the
parts, prevent the removed parts
from getting dirty with water, dirt or
sand. Protect the parts using a cover
such as a clean cloth, etc.

7-2Appearance and care
In order to maintain the appearance of
your vehicle, it is important to take proper
care of it.
To protect the paint surface, wash your
vehicle as soon as you can:
.after a rainfall to prevent possible
damage from acid rain
. after driving on coastal roads
. when contaminants such as soot, bird
droppings, tree sap, metal particles or
bugs get on the paint surface
. when dust or mud builds up on the
surface
Whenever possible, store or park your
vehicle inside a garage or in a covered
area.
When it is necessary to park outside, park
in a shady area or protect the vehicle with
a body cover.
Be careful not to scratch the paint
surface when putting on or removing
the body cover.
WASHING
Wash dirt off the vehicle with a wet
sponge and plenty of water. Clean the
vehicle thoroughly using a mild soap, a
special vehicle soap or general purpose
dishwashing liquid mixed with clean, lu-
kewarm (never hot) water.
CAUTION
. Do not use car washes that use
acid in the detergent. Some car
washes, especially brushless
ones, use some acid for cleaning.
The acid may react with some
plastic vehicle components, caus-
ing them to crack. This could
affect their appearance, and also
could cause them not to function
properly. Always check with your
car wash to confirm that acid is
not used.
. Do not wash the vehicle with
strong household soap, strong
chemical detergents, gasoline or
solvents.
. Do not wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or while the vehicle body
is hot, as the surface may become
water-spotted.
. Avoid using tight-napped or
rough cloths, such as washing
mitts. Care must be taken when
removing caked-on dirt or other
foreign substances so the paint
surface is not scratched or da-
maged. .
Lock all doors before going
through automatic car wash.
Locking doors helps prevent
fuel-filler door from opening and
becoming damaged.
Rinse the vehicle again with plenty of
clean water.
Inside flanges, seams and folds on the
doors, hatches and hood are particularly
vulnerable to the effects of road salt.
Therefore, these areas must be regularly
cleaned. Make sure that the drain holes in
the lower edge of the door are open.
Spray water under the body and in the
wheel wells to loosen the dirt and wash
away road salt.
Avoid leaving water spots on the paint
surface by using a damp chamois to dry
the vehicle.
WAXING
Regular waxing protects the paint surface
and helps retain new vehicle appearance.
Polishing is recommended to remove
built-up wax residue and to avoid a
weathered appearance before reapplying
wax.
A NISSAN dealer can assist you in choos-
ing the proper product.
