CVT Versa in Snow - Throttle cutoff experience?

[williamk10]

I didn't see this mentioned in any of the other snow threads. We got quite a bit of snow in Vancouver (about 10 inches). Has any owners experienced the Versa CVT cutting throttle automatically when stuck in the snow? I was stuck in an unplowed side street. While I was stuck, when I went over 3000 RPM without moving (slipping tires), the Versa automatically cut the throttle down to 2000 RPM and stayed there, no matter what I did, even at full throttle. Is this some sort of traction control? If it is, it is quite stupid as the wheels weren't even moving. I have to go from N to D back and forth to get the car rocking back and forth to get enough momentum to get out of the street.

Any other owners experience something similar?

If you read at your manual 5-19 this will tell you about CVT. This apply to Rogue with CVT.

I try to avoid spinning the wheels. I'd be going back/forth gently between L and R to try and get momentum going one way or the other.

Do what they say first, read the manual, and see what do the manual say!

I would recommend you to try to play around with the OD button, D&L position to see what have you find.

if your car basically will not move at all.... get a can of those cat sand, and put some in front of the wheels, and try it again....
