INDICATOR LIGHTS
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle infor-
mation display” in this section.
Electronic locking reardifferential (E-Lock) system
ON indicator light (if so
equipped)
This light comes on when the electronic locking
rear differential (E-Lock) system clutch is fully
engaged.
The indicator light flashes when the system is first
turned on. When the system fully engages, the
light remains on. If the switch is on and the
indicator light continues to flash, the system is
not engaged.
For additional information, refer to “Electronic
locking rear differential (E-Lock) system switch”
in this section and “Electronic locking rear differ-
ential (E-Lock) system” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
Engine start operationindicator light (if so equipped)
This indicator illuminates when the ignition switch
is in the ACC or ON position with the shift lever in
the P (Park) position. Automatic transmission models:
This indica-
tor means that the engine will start by pushing the
push-button ignition switch with the brake pedal
depressed.
Front fog light indicator light (if
so equipped)
The front fog light indicator light illuminates when
the front fog lights are on. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Fog light switch” in this section.
Front passenger air bag statuslight (if so equipped)
The front passenger air bag status light will be lit
and the passenger front air bag will be off de-
pending on how the front passenger seat is being
used.
For additional information, refer to “Front passen-
ger air bag and status light” in the “Safety —
Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint sys-
tem” section of this manual.
High beam indicator light(blue)
This blue light comes on when the headlight high
beams are on and goes out when the low beams
are selected.
The high beam indicator light also comes on
when the passing signal is activated.
Hill descent control system
ON indicator light (if so
equipped)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, this light comes on briefly and then turns
off.
The light comes on when the hill descent control
system is activated.
If the hill descent control switch is on and the
indicator light blinks, the system may be disabled.
You may feel or hear the system working; this is
normal.
If the indicator light does not come on when the
hill descent switch is on, the system may not be
functioning properly. Have the system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
For additional information, refer to “Hill descent
control system ON indicator light” in this section
and “Hill descent control system” in the “Starting
and driving” section of this manual.
Instruments and controls2-29

To activate the hill descent control system:● activate the 4H or 4LO switch,
● the transmission shift lever must be in for-
ward or reverse gear,
● the hill descent control system switch must
be ON.
The vehicle speed must be kept below 15 mph
(25 km/h).
The hill descent control indicator light will come
on when the system is activated. Also, the
stop/tail lights illuminate while the hill descent
control system applies the brakes to control ve-
hicle speed.
You may hear a noise from under the hood or feel
a vibration from the actuator when it is operating.
This is normal and indicates the HDC system is
working properly.
If the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed
while the hill descent control system is on, the
system will stop operating temporarily. As soon
as the accelerator or brake pedal is released, the
hill descent control system begins to function
again if the hill descent control operating condi-
tions are fulfilled. The hill descent control indicator light blinks if the
switch is on and all conditions for system activa-
tion are not met or if the system becomes disen-
gaged for any reason.
To turn off the hill descent control system, push
the switch to the OFF position.
For additional information, refer to “Hill descent
control system ON indicator light” in this section
and “Hill descent control system” in the “Starting
and driving” section of this manual.
The E-Lock system can help provide added trac-
tion if the vehicle is stuck or becoming stuck.
To activate the E-Lock system:● the 4WD switch must be in the 4LO position
(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.

ELECTRONIC LOCKING REAR
DIFFERENTIAL (E-Lock) SYSTEM
SWITCH (if so equipped)
Instruments and controls2-65

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.

●Use the Electronic Locking Rear Differential
(E-Lock) system (if so equipped) . For addi-
tional information, refer to “Electronic lock-
ing rear differential (E-lock) system” in this
section for further explanation and system
limitations.
● If it is difficult to free the vehicle, rock the
vehicle back and forth between reverse and
drive gears.
● If the vehicle is stuck deep in mud, place
stones or wooden blocks under the tires.
Then try the recovery procedures above. Tire
chains may be effective.
CAUTION
● Do not spin the tires excessively. Tires
will sink deep into the mud, making it
difficult to free the vehicle.
● Avoid shifting gears with the engine
running at high speeds as this may
cause malfunction.4WD shift switch operations
● Shift the 4WD shift switch to either the
2WD, 4H or 4LO position, depending on
driving conditions.
● If the 4WD shift switch is operated
while making a turn, accelerating or
decelerating or if the key switch is
turned off while in the 4H or 4LO, you
may feel a jolt. This is not abnormal.
● You may hear some noise as the sys-
tem shifts or engages. This is not ab-
normal.
CAUTION
● When driving straight, shift the 4WD
shift switch to the 2WD or 4H position.
Do not move the 4WD shift switch when
making a turn or reversing.
● Do not shift the 4WD shift switch while
driving on steep downhill grades. Use
the engine brake and low automatic
transmission gears (D1 or D2) for en-
gine braking.
● Do not operate the 4WD shift switch
with the rear wheels spinning.
● Before placing the 4WD shift switch in
the 4H position from 2WD, ensure the
vehicle speed is less than 62 mph
(100 km/h). Failure to do so can damage
the 4WD system.
● Never shift the 4WD shift switch be-
tween 4LO and 4H while driving.
