300 STARTING AND OPERATING
Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel economy has been
added to the automatic transmission of this vehicle. A
clutch within the torque converter engages automatically
at calibrated speeds. This may result in a slightly differ-
ent feeling or response during normal operation in high
gear. When the vehicle speed drops or during accelera-
tion, the clutch automatically and smoothly disengages.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
The transmission is monitored for abnormal conditions.
If a condition is detected that could cause damage, the
transmission shifts automatically into second gear if the
vehicle speed is appropriate. If not, it will wait until the
conditions are appropriate and then it will shift into
second gear. The transmission will then remain in second
gear despite the forward gear selected. PARK, REVERSE,
and NEUTRAL will continue to operate.
A Reset feature allows the vehicle to be driven to an
authorized dealer for service without damaging the
transmission. To reset the transmission, perform the
following procedure:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Move the shift lever to the PARK position.
3. Turn off the engine; be sure to turn the key to the
LOCK position.
4. Wait approximately 10 seconds, and then restart the
engine.
5. Move the shift lever to the desired gear range.
If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will
return to normal operation. If the problem persists,
