AUTOMATIC OVERDRIn
(0):

for normal driving.
If
you need more power for passing,
and you’re:

35
mph
(56
km/h), push your
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
0
Going about
35
mph
(56
km/h) or more, push the
accelerator all the way down.
You’ll shift down to the next gear and have more power.
THIRD
(3):
This position
is
also used for normal
driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel
economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@).
Here are some times you might choose THIRD
(3)
instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@):
0
When driving on hilly, winding roads
0
When towing a trailer,
so
there is less shifting
between gears
0
When going down a steep hill
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
5
miles
(8
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 selector
lever is put
in
FIRST
(l),
the transaxle won’t shift into
fiist gear
until
the vehicle is going slowly enough.
