TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE: 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 the RESET button, 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 on page 5-28. You should also check the engine coolant temperature. If it is also hot, see Engine Overheating on page 5-32. If the TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE message is displayed during normal vehicle operation on flat roads, your vehicle may need service. See your GM dealer for an inspection. If driving in a performance or competitive manner, the use of (S) Sport Automatic Mode or (S) Sport Manual Paddle Shift gear selection is recommended. See Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-26 for more information. TURN SIGNAL ON: If a turn signal is left on for three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km), this message will appear on the display and you will hear a chime. Move the turn signal/multifunction lever to the off position. To acknowledge this message, press the RESET button. UNLATCH HEADER TO MOVE TOP: This message will display and a chime will sound if you try to lower the convertible top without first unlocking the top. Move the latch handle to unlock the convertible top. See Convertible Top (Manual) on page 2-60 or Convertible Top (Power) on page 2-67. 3-66
