Nissan Juke Owners Manual : AWD warning light

The AWD warning light located in the instrument panel illuminates when the ignition


The AWD warning light located in the instrument panel illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. It turns off soon after the engine is started.

If any malfunction occurs in the AWD system while the engine is running, or while driving, the warning light will either remain illuminated or blink.

High-temperature power train oil due to continuous operation of the vehicle to free a stuck vehicle makes the warning light blink rapidly (about twice per second). The driving mode may change to the 2WD mode. If the warning light blinks rapidly during operation, stop the vehicle with the engine idling in a safe place immediately.

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 2 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.

Change the AWD mode switch to the 2WD mode and do not drive fast.

CAUTION

• If the warning light illuminates while driving, AWD mode will be changed to 2WD mode. Reduce the vehicle speed and have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. Be especially careful when driving.

• The power train may be damaged if you continue driving with the AWD warning light blinking rapidly.
