This warning message appears when the vehicle’s
engine power is reduced. If this happens during driving
conditions, such as climbing a steep hill, the transaxle

this message is displayed. Press the set/reset button
to acknowledge this message and to clear it from
the screen.

This message will continue to display if it has not been
acknowledged when the engine is turned off. It will

If the condition still exists, the message will re-appear
when the engine is turned on.
