Driving
the indicator light will illuminate
again.
NOTE:
The gearshift indicator will only work
when the transmission is set in M +/-
(Manual) mode.
Transmission Malfunction and
Overheating Conditions
Transmission Emergency Control
Transmission function is electronically
monitored to detect abnormal
conditions. If a condition that could
result in transmission damage is
detected, "Transmission Limp Home
Mode" will be activated. In this
5
situation, the transmission may
operate only in certain gears, or may
not shift at all. Vehicle performance
may be severely degraded and the
engine may stall. In some situations,
the transmission system may not
re-engage if the engine is turned off
and restarted.
A message in the instrument cluster
will inform the driver about the
more serious transmission conditions,
and indicate what actions may be
necessary.
Transmission Oil Over Temperature
If the transmission oil temperature
exceeds the operating limit, the
240
red warning light illuminates on the
instrument cluster
In this case, slow down until
temperature returns to normal level
(the light will turn off).
If this is not sufficient, we recommend
to stop the vehicle, shift the lever
to position P (Park) or N (Neutral)
and keep the engine idle until the
temperature warning light
off and the message disappears from
the display. Resume driving without
demanding high engine performance.
If the warning light
and the
related message turns on again,
it is advisable to stop the vehicle,
turn off the engine and wait for the
engine/transmission assembly to fully
cool down.
If the instrument cluster message
indicates that the transmission may
not re-engage after engine shutdown,
perform the following procedure
preferably at a Service Center.
In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps.
• Stop the vehicle.
• Shift the transmission into P (Park), if
possible.
• Turn the engine off.
• Wait approximately 30 seconds.
• Restart the engine.
• Shift the transmission into D (Drive)
and then into the desired gear range.
If the problem is no longer detected,
the transmission will return to normal
operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset,
we recommend that you visit the
turns
Service Network at your earliest
possible convenience, which has
diagnostic equipment to determine if
the problem could recur.
