It's normal for the transmission fluid temperature to vary, depending on the type of driving you do and weather conditions. If you drive on long grades onhot a day, the transmission fluid temperature will be higher than normal driving on a cold day. If you drive your Corvette at high speeds with a lot of stop-and-go or fast accelerations, your transmission fluid temperature may also be higher. If the transmission fluid exceeds 280°F (138"C), the CHECK GAUGES light will come on and HI AUTO will be displayed next to the transmission fluid temperature when you toggle through the GAUGES button. You should move the shift lever to DRIVE (D) and continue driving at a slower, constant speed. Monitor the transmission fluid temperature and allow it to cool to 180°F(82°C) to 200°F (93°C). Then, you should check the transmission fluid level for low fill or a overfill condition and bring your Corvette in for service as soon as possible (see "Automatic Transmission Fluid" in the Index). Also, check the engine coolant temperature. If it's too hot, see "Cooling System" in the Index. Check Gauges Light This red light will come on briefly when you are starting the engine.If the light comes on and stays on while you are driving, check your gauges to seeif they are in the warning areas.
