Transmission Fluid Hot Message; Hot Coolant Temperature Warning Message - Cadillac 2006 CTS Owner's Manual

Transmission Fluid Hot Message

To acknowledge this warning, press either button on
the outboard switch on the left spoke of the steering
wheel. After you press this button, the warning will
redisplay every 10 minutes until the temperature
returns to the normal operating range. If this message
appears, you may continue to drive at a slower speed
while monitoring the transmission fluid temperature.
Ideally, the transmission oil temperature should not rise
above 265°F (129°C). If you regularly experience
temperatures above this limit due to high performance
operation, it is recommended to use an auxiliary fluid
cooler for the transmission and differential. See your
dealer for details. If this warning is displayed during
normal vehicle operation on flat roads, your vehicle may
need service. See your dealer for an inspection. See DIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-61 and Manual
