Instrument Cluster Messages
Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster (if equipped with an EVIC/DID) to
alert the driver when certain conditions occur. These messages are described below.
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
GEAR NOT AVAILABLE In AutoStick mode, the gear selected by the
driver is not available due to a fault condi-
tion. See your authorized dealer for diagno-
sis and service.
SHIFT NOT ALLOWED The gear position requested by the driver is
currently blocked. This occurs if NEUTRAL
is requested while moving, if REVERSE is
requested while moving (at 6 mph
[10 km/h] or faster), if DRIVE is requested
while moving backwards (at 6 mph
[10 km/h] or faster), or if 3rd gear or higher
is requested at a stop. Make sure the ve-
hicle is stopped before engaging DRIVE or
REVERSE.
SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN D or R The transmission has shifted itself into
NEUTRAL (due to a fault condition, or over-
heat due to excessive idling when stopped
in DRIVE with the brakes released), but the
shift lever remains in gear. Shift into NEU-
TRAL and then back into gear for continued
driving. If the transmission will not reen-
gage, see your authorized dealer.
AUTOSTICK NOT AVAILABLE AutoStick mode is unavailable due to a shift
lever fault. See your authorized dealer for
diagnosis and service.
AUTOMATIC MODE NOT AVAILABLE The transmission is unable to shift itself
automatically, due to a fault condition. Use
the AutoStick mode to shift the transmis-
sion manually. See your authorized dealer
for diagnosis and service.
REDUCE GEAR CHANGES The transmission pump is overheating. In
AutoStick mode, try to drive in one specific
gear as much as possible, avoiding frequent
gear changes. In DRIVE, the transmission
will automatically modify its shift schedule
to reduce the number of shifts.
TRANS. GETTING HOT PRESS BRAKE The transmission driving clutch is overheat-
ing, usually due to repeated launches in
stop-and-go traffic. Pull over and allow the
transmission to cool in NEUTRAL until
“TRANS. COOL READY TO DRIVE” is dis-
played.
