Q&As

What transmission messages are shown on the Driver Information Centre (DIC)?

If there is a transmission issue that requires immediate attention, the DIC may display one of the following messages:

SERVICE TRANSMISSION
This message displays if there may be a problem with the transmission. See your dealer for transmission service.

SHIFT TO PARK
This message displays when the transmission needs to be shifted to “P” (PARK). This may appear when attempting to remove the key from the ignition if the vehicle is not in “P” (PARK).

TRANSMISSION HOT — IDLE ENGINE
This message displays and a chime sounds if the transmission fluid in the vehicle becomes hot. Driving with the transmission fluid temperature high can cause damage to the vehicle. Stop the vehicle and let it idle to allow the transmission to cool. This message clears when the fluid temperature reaches a safe level.

To find out if your vehicle has this feature, contact your dealer or refer to your vehicle’s equipment list. Please check your Owner’s Manual for more information about features.
