AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING

• During sustained high speed driving or trailer towing up long grades on hot days,

the automatic transmission oil may become too hot.

• When the transmission overheat warning light

turns on, you will experience

reduced performance until the automatic transmission cools down. Once the

transmission has cooled down and the light turns off, you may continue to drive

normally. If the high speed is maintained, the overheating will continue to occur.

• If the overheating continues, it may become necessary to stop the vehicle and run

the engine at idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the light turns off.
