engine torque is
momentarily limited if
excessive manual
transmission clutch slip is
detected while the clutch
pedal is fully released. This
could be caused by a hot
clutch. Apply less pressure
on the accelerator pedal
when accelerating from a
stop. Also, fully release the
accelerator pedal during

prevent further clutch slip
while the clutch pedal is fully
released. If this message
displays repeatedly, see
your dealer. Repeated clutch
slip could cause permanent
damage.
