• Under certain conditions, such
as repeated stop-and-go launch-
es on steep grades, the trans-
mission clutches may overheat.
When the clutches are overheat-
ed, the transmission safe pro-
tection mode logic is enabled.
If the safe protection mode logic
is enabled, the gear position
indicator on the cluster blinks
with a chime sound. At this time,
a warning message will appear
on the LCD display and driving
may not be smooth. If you ignore
this warning, the driving condi-
tion may become worse. If this
occurs, stop the vehicle, apply
the brakes or shift the vehicle to
P (Park), and allow the transmis-
sion to cool.
• If the Ecoshift dual clutch trans-
mission starts to become over-
heated, the gear shift character-
istics may change. Gear shifts
may become more abrupt. If
continued operation includes
frequent and continuous
upshifts and downshifts, the
overheat warning message on
the cluster LCD display may illu-
minate. If this occurs, stop the
vehicle, apply the brakes or shift
the vehicle to (P) Park, and allow
the transmission to cool.
When possible, continue to
drive the vehicle smoothly while
trying to avoid frequent upshift-
ing and downshifting.
• Gear shifts may be more notice-
able than a conventional auto-
matic transmission. This is a
normal characteristic of this
type of Ecoshift dual clutch
transmission.
• During the first 1000 miles, you
may feel that the vehicle may not
be smooth when accelerating at
low speed. During this break-in
period, the shift quality and per-
formance of your new vehicle is
continuously optimized.
• Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
• Do not put the shift lever in N
(Neutral) while driving.
