Is the Nissan Rogue AWD?

For extra grip and traction on slippery roads in Tinley Park and Mokena, or on rugged wilderness trails up north, nothing beats having Nissan Rogue AWD. This intelligent all-wheel drive system will help you get the extra protection you want in unpredictable conditions. Learn about the Nissan Rogue AWD lock, and what to do if you get an AWD error on a Nissan Rogue. Once you feel good about your AWD knowledge you can start shopping for a new or pre-owned Nissan Rogue SV AWD from Zeigler Nissan of Orland Park.

How Does Nissan Intelligent AWD Work?

The Nissan Rogue Intelligent AWD is a state-of-the-art drivetrain that distributes power as needed to maximize traction. When driving in normal conditions, the new Rogue conserves power by redirecting torque to the front wheels to improve efficiency. If the Rogue encounters slippery conditions in Mokena, the Intelligent AWD system redistributes power to the wheels needed to maintain traction and stability. 

Nissan Rogue AWD Configurations

The Nissan Rogue offers Intelligent AWD throughout the lineup, including the following trims: 

• Nissan Rogue S AWD
• Nissan Rogue SV AWD
• Nissan Rogue SL AWD
• Nissan Rogue Platinum AWD

Nissan Rogue AWD Lock Button

Depending on your model, you may have a Nissan Rogue AWD lock. The Nissan Rogue AWD lock is a unique feature that offers a low-speed regulator button that locks all four wheels for better traction in snow or while off-roading. It does this by splitting the power between the front and rear wheels for better control, no matter the conditions. 

AWD Error on Nissan Rogue

The AWD error on the Nissan Rogue can indicate a range of issues, all of which will require a visit to a local Chicago Nissan service center. See what each Nissan Rogue AWD error light message means below:

• AWD Error: There’s a malfunction in the AWD system. Schedule a time for service at a local service center.
• AWD High Temp: The powertrain oil temperature is rising exponentially out of range. Pull your vehicle over and put your car in park to idle your engine and allow it to cool down. The error should turn off once the powertrain is cool.
• AWD Tire Size Incorrect: If there’s a large difference between the diameters of the front and rear wheels, this AWD error on the Nissan Rogue will occur. Pull your vehicle over and allow the car to idle in park. The blinking may stop after a while and you can resume driving. If it doesn’t, take your Rogue to our tire center for inspection. 

Whenever the AWD error on the Nissan Rogue appears, it’s a good idea to schedule maintenance with Zeigler Nissan of Orland Park. Even if the light turns off, it’s worth having the system checked for any underlying issues.
