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 mal-
function.
*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 dis-
play” (P.2-19).
. If the Intelligent 4x4 LOCK switch is
operated while accelerating or decel-
erating, 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 condi-
tions where the difference 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
AWD returns 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
Intelligent 4x4 LOCK switch to
AUTO. Do not operate the Intelli-
gent 4x4 LOCK switch when mak-
ing a turn or backing up.
. Do not operate the Intelligent 4x4
LOCK switch with the front wheel
spinning.
. Engine idling speed is high while
warming up the engine. Be espe-
cially careful when starting or
driving on slippery surfaces.
. When turning the vehicle in LOCK

WARNING
.If the engine is not running or is
turned off while driving, the
power assist for the steering will
not work. Steering will be harder
to operate.
. When the electric power steering
warning light illuminates with the
engine running, the power assist
for the steering will cease opera-
tion. You will still have control of
the vehicle but the steering will
be harder to operate.
The electric power steering is designed to
provide power assist while driving to
operate the steering wheel with light
force.
When the steering wheel is operated
repeatedly or continuously while parking
or driving at a very low speed, the power
assist for the steering wheel will be
reduced. This is to prevent overheating
of the electric power steering and protect
it from getting damaged. While the power
assist is reduced, steering wheel opera-
tion will become heavy. When the tem-
perature of the electric power steering
goes down, the power assist level will
return to normal. Avoid repeating such steering wheel operations that could
cause the electric power steering to over-
heat.
You may hear a noise when the steering
wheel is operated quickly. However, this is
not a malfunction.
If the electric power steering warning
light
illuminates while the engine is
running, it may indicate the electric
power steering is not functioning prop-
erly and may need servicing. Have the
electric power steering checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. (See “Electric power
steering warning light” (P.2-12).)
When the electric power steering warning
light illuminates with the engine running,
the power assist for the steering will
cease operation. You will still have control
of the vehicle. However, greater steering
effort is needed, especially in sharp turns
and at low speeds.
The mode of the Power Steering can be
changed to:
. NORMAL
. SPORT
