sion

*

NOTE Risk of transmission damage due

to excessive transmission oil temperature

If the indicator lamp 

Ù

 flashes or lights up

while driving, the temperature of the trans‐

mission oil or coolant is too high. This can be

caused by the transmission oil level being too

high or too low. There is a risk of damage to

the transmission if the transmission oil tem‐

perature rises to increased levels relatively

frequently.

Check the oil level only when the automatic

transmission is at normal operating temperature.

#
