154 Driving and Operating
Each time the engine is started,
or when the shift lever is shifted to
any position other than D (Drive),
the Overdrive off mode will be
automatically turned off.
Accelerator Downshift in D
Position
For passing or hill climbing, press
the accelerator pedal to the floor.
This shifts the transmission down
into a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed.
High Fluid Temperature
Protection Mode
If the fluid temperature becomes too
high from climbing a steep grade in
high temperatures, such as towing a
trailer. Engine power and vehicle
speed will be decreased
automatically to reduce the chance
of transmission damage. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the
accelerator pedal but the engine
and vehicle speed may be limited.Fail Safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs,
the CVT will not be shifted into the
selected driving position.
If the vehicle is driven under
extreme conditions, such as
excessive wheel spinning and
subsequent hard braking, the
fail-safe system may be activated.
The malfunction indicator lamp may
come on to indicate the fail-safe
mode is activated. See
Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (Check Engine
Light) 091. This will occur even if all
electrical circuits are functioning
properly. In this case, place the
ignition switch in the OFF position
and wait for 10 seconds. Then place
the ignition switch back in the ON
position. The vehicle should return
to its normal operating condition. If it
does not return to its normal
operating condition, have a dealer
check the transmission and repair if
necessary.
{Warning
When the high fluid temperature
protection mode or fail-safe
operation occurs, vehicle speed
may be gradually reduced. The
reduced speed may be lower than
other traffic, which could increase
the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving.
If necessary, pull to the side of
the road at a safe place and allow
the transmission to return to
normal operation, or have it
repaired if necessary.

Vehicle Care 191
Engine power and under certain
conditions, vehicle speed will
decrease. Vehicle speed can be
controlled with the accelerator
pedal, but the vehicle may not
accelerate at the desired speed.
The transmission will downshift or
upshift as it reaches prescribed shift
points. You can also shift manually.
As driving conditions change and
engine coolant temperature is
reduced, vehicle speed can be
increased using the accelerator
pedal, and air conditioning cooling
function will automatically be turned
back ON.
If:1. The engine coolant temperature is not reduced.
2. The air conditioning cooling function does not turn
back ON.
3. The engine oil pressure low/ engine coolant temperature
high warning light illuminates,
this may indicate a malfunction.
Move the vehicle off the road in
a safe area and allow the engine to cool. If after checking
the oil and coolant, the oil
pressure low/engine coolant
temperature high warning light
remains on, do not continue to
drive. Call your dealer.
The malfunction indicator light may
also come on. If only it remains on,
you do not need to have the vehicle
towed, but have it inspected soon
by your dealer. For additional
information, see Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (Check Engine
Light) 091.
Washer Fluid
What to Use
When the vehicle needs windshield
washer fluid, read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If operating the vehicle in an
area where the temperature may fall
below freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid until
the reservoir is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0181 for
reservoir location.
Caution
. Do not use washer fluid that
contains any type of water
repellent coating. This can
cause the wiper blades to
chatter or skip.
