Have You Seen This Warning??

Yes if you have a CVT that message means its over heating

 

haha...awesome. my car needs one of those

 

I would have never thought that our lancers, especially the cvt, would give a warning for being toooooooo fast !!!!!!

 

I got one too, it's call passenger seat driver. :drunken:

 

what did you really do to make that warning appear? going really fast for long period of time, al lot of hard accel and slow downs?

 

ive pushed mine at 115 for like a minute straight and accelled and stopped fast all the time and messed around with b4 b4 pushing it at 115...i nevver got the wanring.
maybe i got the fast one and u guys got all the slow ones lol

 

thats so awesome... i didnt think it was possible to go tooo fast in the spedy lancerof ours.. ima try to make that happen now lol

 

wow...ive pushed mine to 110-120 on manual and never got that...i think its because your doing it icy road...the only warning i got was "take a break" the one with a coffee cup on it...

 

Same here "^" i pushed mine to almost 125 and never got the warning either!

 

Can't say I have ever got that warning.... and I push my car hard on these farm and mountain roads here in CT

 

I've had mine up to 120 and drive pretty fast most of the time and I've never seen this warning.
I was wondering if they actually had this warning on our car though.
I had a 2006 chevy malibu that I got from enterprise that displayed that message when you got to 110.

 

i think theres an option in the menu if you want the warnings to be on or off...i think i turn my off for all of them except for that regular checkup deal...

 

lol
ive driven at 137 for like 3-5 minutes before and no warnings here

 

Yeah Ive driven close to 140 myself a couple of times and have never seen it, have also gone through some pretty curvy back roads very hard before too (now I get a funny noise from the power steering pump sometimes becuase of that). Maybe its only CVT related. My car is a manual.

 

LuvMyLancer,

The reason for this warning is that the CVT gearbox oil is getting too hot.

We get this a lot here in South East Asia when running on the Malaysian North/South highway, especially when at constant speeds around 180Km/h (120mph) for a couple of hours.

Only way to prevent it is to remove the stock CVT oil cooler and install an aftermarket version in front of the radiator.
