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 malfunction.
*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 display” (P.2-21).
. If the Intelligent 4x4 LOCK switch is oper-
ated while accelerating or decelerating, 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 conditions where the dif-
ference 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 Intelligent 4x4 LOCK switch when
making a turn or backing up.
. Do not operate the Intelligent 4x4 LOCK
switch with the front wheel spinning.
. Engine idling speed is high while warm-
ing up the engine. Be especially careful
when starting or driving on slippery
surfaces.
. When turning the vehicle in LOCK mode
on paved roads, you may feel a braking
effect. This is a normal condition of the
AWD model.
