- aggressive driving on the street, or lots of high RPM e.g., 1st/2nd/3rd in traffic
- driving over very steep gradients, 6+ degree continuous
- driving in very hot temperatures, 110+F
- manual transmission

The last one is controversial with some folks, but as it turns out if you have a manual transmission, you're much more likely to experience overheating... See data below from our forum survey.... We have basically zero reports of limp mode on the street with automatic transmissions, and very few reports of temps over 260F
