RPM’S (Revolutions Per Minute)
This message displays when your vehicle is in an
overheated engine operating mode. If this
message appears, the vehicle has determined that
continued operation at the existing engine speed
may lead to engine overheating. The vehicle

overheating. You may notice the vehicle upshifting
early or reduced speeds while this message is
displayed. When the engine oil returns to a
safe operating temperature, this message clears
from the DIC and the vehicle returns to normal
operation. Your vehicle does not require service
when this message is displayed.
