AT OIL TEMP warning light (AT and CVT models)
The AT oil temperature warning light “AT OIL TEMP” illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and turns off after approximately 2 seconds. If this light illuminates when the engine is running, it may indicate that the transmission fluid temperature is too hot. If the light illuminates while driving, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and let the engine idle until the warning light turns off.
