AT Oil Temperature Warning Light
The warning light is provided for the purpose of preventing
overheating of torque converter fluid in case of repeated
start·off operations in sand or on a snowy road, or when the
car is operated at very low speed (near the stall speed) con·
tinuously under heavily loaded conditions.
If the temperature of the fluid at the torque converter outlet
exceeds 150°C (302°F), the warning lamp "AT
01
L TEMP"
will illuminate and warn the driver of high oil temperature.
In such a case, the driver need not stop the car, but should
avoid undue operation. The warning light will go out as the
fluid temperature drops.
