direct gears only. Normal operation will resume once the

transmission temperature has risen to a suitable level.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored electronically for

abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could

result in transmission damage, Transmission Limp Home

Mode is activated. In this mode, the transmission remains

in direct gear regardless of which forward gear is se-

lected. PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue to

operate. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may be

illuminated. Limp Home Mode allows the vehicle to be

driven to an authorized dealer for service without dam-

aging the transmission.
In the event of a momentary problem, the transmission

can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the

following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no

longer detected, the transmission will return to normal

operation.

NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-

mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your

earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has

diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could

recur.
If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer

service is required.
