It resets back to normal mode. You have to switch it to the mode you want when you start it each time.

 

I believe that the Juke as a standard setting across the models with ICON go back to Normal mode when the engine turns off.
I am unsure if it varies by year or place of manufacture, though it would be a bit odd if it changed.

 

If i select ECO or NORMAL or SPORT mode before take off.

When i start the engine my juke still is mode that last my select.(Japan model)

 

Mine (EU Juke) stays in the mode (Normal or Eco) it was left in, so the same as Iamgodmo2, above.

I've not tried leaving him in Sport though, as reversing off my drive in that mode would end me up in my neighbour's front wall in a microsecond .

 

Mine (us version) always reverts to normal mode on restart.

 

This thread is starting to get interesting.
Seems like US Jukes revert back to Normal mode when you restart the car and JDM and UK Jukes stays on last ICON setting when when restarted.
My US model reverts back. It's a hassle but I'm used to it now.

 

Quick question, how can you tell where your Juke was made, by the vin number? The dealer told me mine was made in Japan but now I'm questioning that based on what I'm seeing here.

 

It should tell you on the Monroney/Dealer Window sticker.


If the 11th letter/digit is a "T" on your VIN number, it was made in Oppama Japan.

 

Ha, yea the dealer was wrong and all this time I thought it was made in Japan.

 

The US Jukes are made in japan, at least mine is since the first VIN start with J and my EPA sticker has 100% japan made written on it

Ok, just found this online and it may be of some interest.

I've been trying to find a Juke specific one. It's hard but this one is close.

I think I was confused by your statement. Yes I live in Vegas and it was made and imported from Japan. I thought you said it might have been made in the US but as I see now that is not possible. Sorry for the confusion on my part, I didn't get much sleep last night.

 

LOL...no problem.

If you work in an office buy these...just kidding of course.

 

Thanks y'all for the response.
I'm just curious as to why Nissan would alter this little detail. (I would understand say if they uses different spring rates for different regions to matches road conditions, etc)

Furthermore, is there anything else different? I'm just a bit concerned that if I order some mods from the US would it play nice with my Japanese Juke?
Like that Tanabe situation. When they had a Japanese Tanabe exhaust and it wouldnt fit with the US Juke (without some modification).

 

The Juke will always default back to normal mode when restarting the vehicle. After that, you can put it in whatever mode you want. Keep in mind that if you decide to keep the Juke in sport mode, your milage will drop significantly. Eco is great for traveling the interstate or roads where you don't have a lot of stop & start. Normal is the best of both worlds with very good fuel milage as long as you know how to work the gas pedal. When starting out, try keeping the RPM's under 3000.

 

Your Juke is a US juke. All US jukes are made in Japan. Nissan doesn't have a plant in the US producing Jukes. Not enough sales volume yet for that. So yes, all parts made for the US version will fit just fine on yours.

 

That's a little presumptious. The US-spec Scion xB (1st generation) and Toyota bB were both made in Japan, yet the ECU, bumper, exhaust and a few other bits were different to meet US emission and crash test standards. They even changed ECU's between the 2005-2006 model year, and neither work on the Yaris w/ the same engine / transmission combo.

Wouldn't suprise me a bit that the Juke has different configurations depending on destination region, all being built in the same plant.

 

No no, you misunderstood me

You are right. A Japan manu Juke made for the JDM market is going to be different then a japan manu Juke for the US market.

What I was saying is that all USDM Jukes are made in Japan and that bits made for the USDM version will fit the vehicle he purchased regardless of the fact that it was made in Japan.
