DRIVE (D): This position is for normal driving.
It provides the best fuel economy for your vehicle.
If you need more power for passing, and you are:
• Going less than 35 mph (56 km/h), push your
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
• Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or more, push
the accelerator all the way down.
Notice: If your vehicle seems to start up
rather slowly or not shift gears when you go
faster, and you continue to drive your vehicle
that way, you could damage the transaxle.
Have your vehicle serviced right away. You can
drive in LOW (L2) when you are driving less
than 35 mph (56 km/h) and DRIVE (D) for higher
speeds until then.
LOW (L): This position gives you access to
FOURTH, THIRD, SECOND and FIRST gear
ranges. This provides more engine braking
but lower fuel economy than DRIVE (D). You can
use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or
mud. If the electronic range select is put in LOW
(L), the transaxle will not shift into lower gears until
the vehicle is going slow enough.
Electronic Range Select Mode
This feature allows you
to limit higher gears by
selecting a maximum
gear range when the
shift lever is in LOW (L).
The button for this mode
is located on the left of
the shift lever knob.
When the shift lever is first moved into LOW (L),
the display in the instrument panel shows L3.
Press the minus (−) end of the button on the shift
lever once for L2 and once more for L1. Press
the plus (+) end of the button once each to return
to L2, L3 and L4. The shift lever must be moved
back to DRIVE (D) to turn off the electronic range
select mode.
