Overdrive can be locked out by pressing the O/D OFF
switch located on the center console. A indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illuminate to show that the
switch has been activated. When the indicator light is on,
Overdrive is locked out. Pressing the switch a second

time restores the Overdrive function. The lockout feature
is useful when towing a trailer or carrying a heavy load.

If the transmission overheats, a “HOTOIL” message may
be displayed in the odometer (accompanied by a chime
sound). If the “HOTOIL” message turns on, stop the
vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster, with the
transmission in NEUTRAL until the message turns off.

WARNING!

If the Transmission Temperature “HOTOIL” Warn-
ing Message is illuminated and you continue operat-
ing the vehicle, in some circumstances you could
cause the fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot
engine or exhaust components and cause a fire.
