Thanks for your comment Dave,
I didn't know that was a feature, it does make sense though... it certainly behaves as you described, it is stuck in 2nd gear (or maybe
3rd), revs stay at around 3000 when you are expecting the automatic to shift to 4th... It's then trying to warm up the catalyst as quick as possible.That was the behaviour during the last couple of days, but today I wanted to check if it was jumping a gear or what was going on so I switched to sport +/-(manual mode), I tried to go to fourth gear manually and didn't allow me, or maybe it did and just stopped (can't remember exactly), the engine was idling, but not pulling forward, the gearbox was not engaged at all... and suddenly I got the gearbox warning light and started running in the "emergency-run program".
Is that behaviour expected or might it be the indication of some problem with the automatic transmission?
I have also noticed that the antifreezer is at minimum level and the car is four years and a few months old so tomorrow is getting changed...
Regards,
U. Hernandez
