DCT Warning Messages

Steep Grade

This warning message is displayed when the vehicle is moving slowly on a slope and the vehicle detects that the brake pedal is not depressed.

Driving uphill or on a steep slope:

• To hold the vehicle on a slope, use the foot brake or parking brake.
• When driving with frequent stops on a slope, allow a gap to form in front of you before moving forward. Then hold the vehicle on the slope with the foot brake. • If the vehicle is held or creeps forward on a slope by pressing 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 display warning is active, the foot brake must be applied.
• Ignoring warnings may cause damage to the transmission.

NOTICE

To hold the vehicle on a slope, use the foot brake or the parking brake. If the vehicle is held on a hill by pressing the accelerator pedal, the clutch and transmission will overheat, which may cause damage.

High Transmission Temperature

• Under certain conditions, such as repeated starts with stops on steep slopes, sudden take-offs or acceleration, or other severe driving conditions, the temperature of the transmission clutch may increase excessively.
• When the clutch temperature becomes too high, the warning message "High Transmission Temperature! Stop Safely" will appear on the LCD display, a warning 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. Abrupt shifts, frequent shifting, or jerking may occur.
• When the message "Transmission Cooled Down. Continue Driving" appears, you may continue operating your vehicle.
• If possible, drive the vehicle smoothly.

Transmission Overheated

• If the vehicle continues to be driven and the clutch temperature reaches the maximum temperature limit, the warning "Transmission Hot! Park with Engine Running" will be displayed. When this occurs, the clutch is disengaged until the clutch cools to normal temperature.
• The warning will display the time remaining for the transmission to cool 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. Continue Driving" appears, you may continue operating your vehicle.
• If possible, drive the vehicle smoothly.

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