AWD High Temp Is Displayed On Information Display: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Infiniti QX60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

While driving, AWD warning icon/display (AWD High Temp. Stop vehicle) is displayed on information display and it turns OFF after 1 minute.

This symptom protects drivetrain parts when a heavy load is applied to the electric controlled coupling and multiple disc clutch temperature increases. Also, optional distribution of torque sometimes becomes rigid before icon/display is displayed. Both cases are not malfunction. Refer to PROTECTION FUNCTION .
When this symptom occurs, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some times. Displays will stop and system will be restored.
