A transmission hot message may
display if the manual transmission
fluid is too hot. Driving at high
speed under this condition can
damage the vehicle. Drive at a

engine to cool the manual
transmission fluid. The message
clears when the vehicle has slowed
and the transmission fluid has
cooled sufficiently.
