MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
Service Transmission When the ignition key is turned to ON/RUN/MAR, the Transmission Fault Indicator light turns on and
should go off after a few seconds.
The Transmission Fault Indicator illuminates either steady or blinking (together with this message and a
buzzer) to indicate a transmission fault.
Contact your authorized dealer if the message continues to appear.
Reduce Gear Changes This message indicates that the driver is operating the transmission incorrectly.
Incorrect use (by the driver) could automatically activate a procedure for protecting the system.
Contact you authorized dealer if the message continues to appear.
Manual Unavailable MANUAL (M) mode is not available, due to a fault or other condition. Use the DRIVE (D) position to op-
erate the vehicle.
Contact your authorized dealer if the message continues to appear.
Automatic Unavailable Automatic (DRIVE) mode is not available due to a fault or other condition. Use MANUAL (M) mode to
operate the vehicle.
Contact your authorized dealer if the message continues to appear.
Transmission Temperature High This message appears, together with a buzzer, when the clutch overheats.
In this situation, limit stop and go driving and gear shifts or if necessary stop the vehicle and turn the
engine off to allow the clutch to cool.
If the message continues to appear, contact your authorized dealer.
To avoid clutch malfunction, do not use the accelerator to keep the vehicle at a standstill (for example
holding on a hill); the clutch could be damaged by overheating. Use the brake pedal instead and operate
the accelerator only when you are ready to drive away.
Press Brake Pedal / Startup Delayed This message appears when the key is first turned ON, if the brake pedal is not depressed and/or the
gear selector is not in NEUTRAL (N). The gear selector must be in the NEUTRAL (N) position, and the
brake pedal must be pressed, to allow engine cranking. Place the gear selector in NEUTRAL (N) and
apply the brake pedal BEFORE turning the key to the START/AVV position; otherwise, the engine will not
crank and the key must be cycled OFF, then back on, before cranking is allowed.
