Transmission Temperature Gauge

• Select the trip computer mode on the LCD display and go to the transmission temperature screen to view the dual clutch transmission temperature.
• Drive so that the temperature gauge does not show High/Overheat. When the transmission overheats, a warning message will appear on the LCD display. Follow the displayed message.

CAUTION

• A rise (high temperature) of the transmission temperature gauge usually occurs on a slope when the vehicle is held stationary for a long time using the accelerator pedal without depressing the brake pedal.
• To maintain optimal transmission operation, drive so that the white marks are not exceeded (if equipped).

Normal (below 10 mark)

• To maintain optimal shift efficiency, drive so that the temperature gauge stays below the mark (below 10 mark).

Information

The temperature gauge may increase quickly if excessive clutch slip occurs due to repeated driving with frequent stops on steep slopes, or holding the vehicle on an incline for a long time. To avoid excessive temperature rise, use the brake when driving at low speed or when stopping the vehicle on a slope.

Before High/Overheat (10 to 14 marks)

• This zone indicates that the DCT dual clutch temperature is approaching the High/Overheat zone. When the clutch temperature is within this zone (10 to 14 marks), the drive minimizes clutch slip so that the temperature gauge stays below the mark (10 mark).
• If the dual clutch temperature continues to rise and reaches the 14 mark, a warning chime sounds and the temperature gauge appears on the instrument panel. The DCT warning message is not displayed.

High/Overheat (15 to 16 marks)

• This zone indicates that the DCT dual clutch temperature has reached the High/Overheat zone. The DCT warning chime sounds, a warning message appears on the cluster, and the temperature gauge disappears from the cluster. Follow the displayed warning message.
• To check the dual clutch temperature status when overheated, move to the temperature gauge screen by selecting the trip computer mode. Then you can check the DCT temperature status.
