DCT Warning Messages

This warning message appears when the vehicle is moving slowly up a slope and the vehicle detects that the brake pedal is not being depressed.

Steep Slope

Driving uphill or on a steep slope:

• To hold the vehicle on a slope, use the foot brake or the parking brake.
• When driving with frequent stops on an incline, allow a gap to form in front of you before moving the vehicle forward. Then hold the vehicle on the incline with the foot brake.
• If the vehicle is held or creeps forward on a slope by applying the accelerator pedal, the clutch and transmission may overheat, which may cause damage. At this time, a warning message will appear on the LCD display.
• If the LCD warning is active, you must apply the foot brake.
• Ignoring warnings may result in transmission damage.

High Transmission Temperature

• Under certain conditions, such as repeated stop-and-go driving on steep hills, sudden take-offs or acceleration, or other aggressive driving conditions, the clutch temperature will rise excessively.
• When the clutch temperature is too high, the warning message "Transmission Hot! Stop Safely" will appear on the LCD display, a chime will sound, and gear shifting may not be smooth.
• In this case, stop in a safe place, stop the vehicle with the engine running, depress the brake pedal, shift the vehicle into P (Park), and allow the transmission to cool down.
• If you ignore this warning, driving conditions may deteriorate. You may experience harsh shifts, frequent gear changes, or jerking.
• When the message "Transmission Cooled Down. Resume Driving" appears, you may continue driving your vehicle.
• Drive the vehicle smoothly whenever possible.

Transmission Overheated

• If the vehicle continues to be driven and the clutch temperature reaches the maximum temperature limit, the warning "Trans Hot! Stop Safely with Engine On" will be displayed. When this occurs, the clutch is disengaged until the clutch cools to normal temperature.
• The warning will display the time to wait until the transmission cools down.
• In this case, stop in a safe place, stop the vehicle with the engine running, depress the brake pedal, shift the vehicle into P (Park), and allow the transmission to cool down.
• When the message "Transmission Cooled Down. Resume Driving" appears, you may continue driving your vehicle.
• Drive the vehicle smoothly whenever possible.

If any of the warning messages on the LCD display continues to flash, for your safety, we recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the system inspected.
