REDUCED ENGINE POWER
This symbol comes on
with this message.
This message displays when the vehicle’s engine power
is reduced. If this happens during driving conditions,
such as climbing a steep hill, the transmission may
overwork in a gear that may cause damage to
the vehicle’s engine or transmission. Reduced engine
power can affect the vehicle’s ability to accelerate. If this
message is on, but there is no reduction in performance,
proceed to your destination. The performance may
be reduced the next time the vehicle is driven.
