WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD and 2018 Nissan Titan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When transfer control unit is set up to 2WD mode, axle disconnect device disengages the rotative power from front tire by actuator in gear carrier of front final drive assembly. So that it disconnects the rotative power transmitted from front tire to front final drive gear, front propeller shaft, and transfer. Therefore rotated friction is reduced.
