Clutch Over Heated

This warning light indicates that the clutch is overheat. It appears for a while when the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button is turned ON. The indicator light illuminates when the Clutch’s estimated temperature rises up to limited value.

NOTE

The AMT warning lamp may come on when clutch slip occurs excessively due to repeated stop-and-go driving on steep grades and when Hill Hold is maintained for a long time. In order to prevent warning lamp ON, use the brake during low speed driving on hill or when stopping the vehicle on an Uphill slope.

  • If the vehicle is held on a hill by using only the accelerator pedal or by creeping with brake pedal disengaged, the clutch may overheat which can result in damage. At this time, a warning lamp will appear on the cluster.

  • If the warning lamp is active, the foot brake must be applied.

  • Ignoring the warnings can lead to damage to the clutch and transmission.
