That would be just great while attacking a turn, and the engine cuts off

well first it goes to yellow when it gets warm, so its warning you to relax a bit and not push the car harder so it avoids turning RED and then cuts off, so you shouldn't be attacking a turn if the indicator has turned yellow...don't want to risk it cutting off at the wrong moment...great safety feature so more harm isn't done

System Limitations
-- The M-DCT is equipped with an overheating protection system that protects the clutch against extreme loads. The indicator lamp lights up yellow when the transmission becomes too warm. Avoid high engine loads and driving off frequently. When the transmission is overheated, the indicator lamp lights up red and the fuel supply to the engine is cut off. You cannot continue driving until the transmission has cooled down.
