Driving your vehicle
• If the vehicle is held on a hill by
applying the accelerator pedal or
by creeping with the brake pedal
disengaged, the clutch and trans-
mission may overheat which can
result in damage. At this time, a
warning message will appear on
the LCD display.
• If the LCD warning is active, the
foot brake must be applied.
• Ignoring the warnings can lead to
damage to the transmission.

Transmission high temperature
• Under certain conditions, such as
repeated stop-and-go launches on
steep grades, sudden take off or
acceleration, or other harsh driving
conditions, the transmission clutch
temperatures will increase exces-
sively.
• When the clutch is overheated, the
safe protection mode engages and
the gear position indicator on the
cluster blinks with a chime. At this
time, "Transmission temp. is high!
Stop safely" warning message will
appear on the LCD display and
driving may not be smooth.
• If this occurs, pull over to a safe
location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes
and shift the vehicle to P (Park)
with engine on, and allow the
transmission to cool.
• If you ignore this warning, the driv-
ing condition may become worse.
You may experience abrupt shifts,
frequent shifts, or jerkiness. To
return to the normal driving condi-
tion, stop the vehicle and apply the
foot brake or shift into P (Park).
Then allow the transmission to cool
for a few minutes with engine on,
before driving off.
• When possible, drive the vehicle
smoothly.
