SECOND GEAR
(2):
This position gives you more
power but lower fuel economy.
You
can
use
SECOND
(2)
on
hills. It can help control your speed as you go down
steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use
your brakes
off
and on.
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in SECOND
(2)
for more than
5
miles
(8
km), or
at
speeds over
55
mph
(88
kmk), or you can damage your transaxle.
Use OVERDRIVE
@
DRIVE
(D)
(if your vehicle
has Overdrive) as much as possible.
Don’t shift into
SECOND
(2)
unless you are going
slower than
65
mph
(105
kh),
or you can
damage your engine.
FIRST GEAR
(1):
This position gives you even more
power (but lower fuel economy) than
SECOND
(2).
You
can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever
is
put
in
FIRST (l), the transaxle
won’t shift into first gear until the vehicle is going
slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If
your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to
drive. This might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand
or
mud or were
up
against
a
solid
object.
You
could damage your transaxle.
Also,
if
you stop when going uphill, don’t hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could overheat and damage the
transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in
position
on
a
hill.
