HIGH TRANS TEMP (Automatic Transmission Only): You will hear four chimes when this message is displayed. To acknowledge this warning, press the RESET button. After you press the RESET button, the message will be displayed every 10 minutes until the condition changes. If you do not press RESET, the message remains on the display until the condition changes. If the transmission fluid temperature rises above 270_F (132_C) or rises rapidly, this message is displayed. The transmission may shift gears or apply the torque converter clutch to reduce the fluid temperature. Driving aggressively or driving on long hills can cause the transmission fluid temperature to be higher than normal. If this message appears, you may continue to drive at a slower speed. You should also monitor the transmission fluid temperature and allow it to cool to at least 230_F (110_C). The transmission fluid temperature can be monitored with the GAGES button on the DIC. See "Automatic Transmission Fluid" in the Index. You should also check the engine coolant temperature. If it is also hot, see "Engine Overheating" in the Index. If the HIGH TRANS TEMP message is displayed during normal vehicle operation on flat roads, your vehicle may need service. See your dealer for an inspection. SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING: If the SERVICE ACTIVE HNDLG message is displayed, there is a problem with your Active Handling System and your vehicle needs service. The instrument cluster light will also be on and a chime will sound. When this message is displayed, the system is not working. Adjust your driving accordingly. ACTIVE HANDLING: Your vehicle is equipped with a computer controlled system to assist the driver in controlling the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. You may feel or hear the system working and see the ACTIVE HANDLING message displayed in the DIC. This is normal when the system is operating. Also see "Anti-Lock Brakes" in the Index. 2-110
