Acura 2008 MDX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 72)

This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position.
This indicator has two functions:
This indicator monitors the
temperature of the automatic
transmission fluid. It should come on
for a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. If it comes on while driving,
it means the transmission fluid
temperature is too high. Pull to the
side of the road when it is safe, shift
to Park, and let the engine idle until
the indicator goes out.
You will also see an ‘‘A/T TEMP
HIGH’’ message on the multi-
information display (see page ).
If this happens, pull to the side of
the road when it is safe, check
which tire has lost pressure on the
multi-information display, and
determine the cause. If it is
because of a flat tire, have the flat
tire repaired as soon as possible. If
two or more tires are
underinflated, call a professional
towing service. For more
information, see page .
If this indicator begins to flash,
there is a problem with the tire
pressure monitoring system
(TPMS). You will also see a
‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’
message on the multi-information
display. The indicator continues to
flash for a while (approximately 1
minute), then stays on. If this
happens, have your dealer check
the system as soon as possible.
For more information, see page
.
Check the tire pressure monitor on
the multi-information display and
determine the cause (see page ).
You will also see a ‘‘CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE’’ message on the multi-
information display (see page ).
If it comes on while driving, it
indicates that one or more of your
vehicle’s tires are significantly low
on pressure.
