Oil temperature
Normal working temperature for the gearbox is
approx. 80–95 °C. When driving at full throttle for
long periods with the torque converter working, the oil
temperature may rise and result in overheating.
Continuous retarder operation will also have this
effect. If the oil temperature becomes too high in
operation, the yellow warning lamp will light and the
associated symbol will be shown in the display. If the
yellow warning lamp lights while the retarder is
engaged, the retarder's braking effect is reduced. If the
temperature rises more, the red stop lamp will light
and the retarder will be turned off to protect the
gearbox.
Slow down when the yellow warning lamp comes on
and engage a lower gear until the gearbox has returned
to its normal operating temperature.
If the oil temperature becomes too high in normal
operation, check the oil level in the gearbox and
replace the filter.
Retarder temperature
If the temperature in the retarder exceeds 140 °C, the
yellow warning lamp will light and a symbol will be
shown in the display. The retarder braking effect is
reduced. If the temperature rises more, the red stop
lamp will light and the retarder will be turned off to
protect the gearbox.
Slow down when the yellow warning lamp comes on
and engage a lower gear until the gearbox has returned
to its normal operating temperature.
