Risk of damage to the transmission when speeding up the warming up
procedure!
When the wheels are locked, the full engine output may only be applied in
transmission mode D or
R for a maximum of 30 seconds. If this duration is
exceeded, the transmission could become overheated and be damaged.
G
Risk of scalding from escaping coolant

coolant then leak
s from the expansion tank.
