4 If a warning lamp illuminates
•
Transmission fluid temperature warning
lamp
This lamp illuminates if the automatic transmission
fluid becomes excessively hot. If the lamp illumi-
nates while the vehicle is in motion, pull over at the
nearest safe place, put the range selector lever in
the “P” position, and run the engine at slightly
higher than idling speed to cool down the transmis-
sion.
If the warning lamp goes out, it is safe to continue
driving.
If the warning lamp does not go out, or if it repeat-
edly lights up, you must have your vehicle repaired
by an authorized dealer.
While cooling the transmission, check the automatic
transmission for fluid leakage. If any leakage is
found, call an authorized dealer for repair.
• Transmission warning lamp
• This lamp illuminates when there is something
wrong in the transmission’s electronic control
system.
If it illuminates when the starter key is moved to
the “ON” position, but then goes out after a few
seconds, this means the electronic control sys-
tem is working properly.
If the lamp illuminates while the vehicle is mov-
ing, drive to a safe place and stop.
• If the electronic control system fails, the fail-safe
feature kicks in and the vehicle goes into back-
up mode. In this mode, the vehicle can still be
driven to a safe place. If it is not possible to shift
between gears, do it manually as follows to drive
the vehicle to a safe place.
• Manually driving the vehicle to a safe place
If a failure in the electronic control system dis-
ables gear shifting, remove the 2 “A/T” fuses in
the fuse box. This will enable driving using the
range selector lever as follows.
For the locations of the “A/T” fuses, refer to the
decal on the back of the glove box lid.
