4. LIMP HOME MODE
In case of transmission malfunction ▶
If a serious fault occurs in the automatic transmission, the TCU enters the limp home
mode to secure safe driving and protect the automatic transmission.
As power is no longer supplied to the solenoid, the current basic function (P, R, N, D) is
maintained and the 4th gear can be maintained only by the operation of the hydraulic
system without electrical operation.
The ECU communicates with other electric modules with CAN. If a serious fault occurs, the
transmission automatically enters the limp home mode for service.
The TCU monitors all factors which can affect to the performance of the transmission and
diagnose the system according to OBD II regulation. 1.

4.
In case of overheated transmission ▶
The TCU enters the limp home mode when the batter voltage drops below 8 V.
If the transmission is overheated, the shift pattern is changed to the hot mode to cool the
transmission more efficiently.
While the transmission is overheated, the selector lever symbol and engine temperature
warning lamp on the instrument cluster blink until the transmission is cooled down to the
normal operation temperature. If the transmission is excessively overheated, the gear
cannot be shifted but remains in the neutral position. 1.

3.
Towing the vehicle with A/T ▶
The best way to transport the vehicle is to load it to a truck and transport it, especially if the
vehicle is 4WD.
If towing the vehicle with the propeller shaft connected, the transmission or oil pump of
transfer case may malfunction, resulting in internal damage due to poor lubrication. -

01-213680-01
Pressure Modulation ▶
To provide a higher level of shift comfort and durability, the hydraulic pressure in the shift related
friction elements of the transmission must be matched accurately to the input torque to
transmission. This hydraulic pressure is composed of a hydraulically pre-set basic pressure and a
control pressure which is set by one of the variable bleed solenoids.
The transmission input torque can be directly calculated from the following operating parameters:
engine torque signals
engine speed or any signal transmitted from ECU through CAN lines
converter slip -
-
-
Separate pressure characteristics for each gear change make it possible to adapt precisely to the
particular shift operation.
5) Shift Mode Selection by TCU
The driver can select Standard (S) or Winter mode (W) with the mode switch. TCU automatically
changes the shift mode according to the transmission oil temperature, uphill or downhill gradient,
and altitude to keep the good driving conditions.
Standard Mode (S) ▶
Uphii and Downhill Mode ▶
Altitude Mode ▶ Standard Mode is selected when setting the mode switch in Standard (S) position with the gear

timing provides the optimized fuel economy and good driving conditions.
In this mode, the operating points of torque converter lock-up clutch and the shifting points are
adjusted according to the vehicle weight.
In this mode, the shifting points are automatically adjusted according to the altitude to compensate
the engine torque changes due to barometric pressure and temperature.

3. DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL (DMF)
The dual mass flywheel (DMF) is of having a mass divided into two halves.
While one mass is connected to the engine crankshaft, which is affected by the mass moment of
inertia of the engine, the other mass is affected by one of the transmission.
The divided dual masses are connected to the coil spring and damping system internally.
The DMF has the following benefits: ▶
Reducing fuel consumption by lowering engine speed
Reducing rattling noise and vehicle vibration in all driving ranges
Reducing synchronization wear
Facilitating gear change
Protecting power train parts by preventing excessive load from being delivered -

The water in the brake fluid has an adverse effect to the brake system. If the fluid contains
around 3% of water, the boiling point of the brake fluid goes down by 25%. It will cause
the vapor lock frequently.
Water content in fluid: around 3% after 18 months, around 7~10% after few years
The water ib fluid makes the corrosion in the brake lines, deforms and deteriorates the
rubber components, brake calipers and pistons. -
DOT4: Brake fluid for premium vehicle. Lower water absorbing rate AND higher boiling point
than DOT3
Brake Fluid Level Check ▶
The brake fluid level should be between "MAX"
and "MIN" on the reservoir. If it is below "MIN"
mark, check for oil leaks and refill the reservoir
with the specified fluid.

12-114610-01
Oil Change ▶
Open the power fluid reservoir cap and
drain the fluid completely with oil suction
device. To make it easy, turn the steering
wheel to its both ends several times.
Fill up the specified fluid into fluid reservoir
and bleed air from the steering system. 1.
2. Oil Level Check ▶
Place the vehicle on a level ground and
start the engine and let it run at idle speed.
Turn the steering wheel several times so
that the oil temperature reaches to normal
operating level (75~85˚C).
Place the steering wheel at straight ahead
direction.
Check the oil level in the power steering oil
reservoir. Adjust the oil level between MAX
and MIN. 1.

If the difference between two
measurements is below 5 mm and the level
is between MAX and MIN level, it's normal.
If it is over 5 mm, bleed air from the
system. Check the fluid level on a level ground with
the engine turned off. The fluid level should
be between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir cap gauge.
