Automatic transmission malfunction

Introduction
Emergency shift program
If all selector lever position indicators in the instrument cluster
When stopping on hills with the transmission in a drive gear,
do not use the accelerator to help prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards. This can cause the automatic transmission
to overheat and be damaged.
Never let the vehicle coast or roll down a hill in Neutral (N),
especially when the engine is not running. The transmission
will not be lubricated and will be damaged.
Launch Control acceleration uses the maximum acceleration
capability of the vehicle but places significant loads on the
drive train and related parts. If you do use the Launch Control
feature, do not use it regularly or often to help prevent
unnecessary wear on the vehicle and its systems.
