SECOND
(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
25
miles
(41
km),
or at speeds over
55
mph
(88
km/h), or you can damage your transaxle.
Use AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@)
or
THIRD
(3)
as much as possible.
Don’t shift into SECOND
(2)
unless you are going
slower than
65
mph
(105
km/h), or you can
damage your engine.
FIRST
(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
shift lever is put in
FIRST
(1)’
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 or shift into
PARK
(P)
to hold your vehicle in position on
a
hill.
