If any malfunction occurs in the AWD sys-
tem, the warning light comes on while en-
gine is running.
The warning light may blink rapidly (about
twice per second) while trying to free a
stuck vehicle due to high power train oil
temperature. The driving mode may
change to 2 wheel drive. If the warning
light blinks rapidly, stop the vehicle with
the engine idling in a safe place immedi-
ately. Then if the light goes off after a
while, you can continue driving.
A large difference between the diameters
of front and rear wheels will make the
warning light blink slowly (about once per
two seconds). Pull off the road in a safe
area, and idle the engine. Check that all
tire sizes are the same, tire pressure is
correct and tires are not worn.
If the warning light is blinking after the
above operation, have your vehicle
checked by an INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
O
For AWD equipped vehicles, do not at-
tempt to raise two wheels off the ground
and shift the transmission to any D
(Drive) or R (Reverse) position. Doing so
may result in transmission damage or
unexpected vehicle movement which
could result in serious vehicle damage or
personal injury.
O
Do not attempt to test an AWD equipped
vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer (such
as the dynamometers used by some
states for emission testing), or similar
equipment, even if the other two wheels
are raised off the ground. Make sure you
inform test facility personnel that your
vehicle is equipped with AWD before it is
placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in
transmission damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in se-
rious vehicle damage or personal injury.
CAUTION
O
If the warning light comes on while
driving, there may be a malfunction in
the AWD system. Reduce the vehicle
speed and have your vehicle checked by
an INFINITI dealer as soon as possible.
O
If the warning light is still on after the
above operation, have your vehicle
checked by an INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible.
O
The power train may be damaged if you
continue driving with the warning light
blinking rapidly.
