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 will not shift into first gear until
the vehicle is going slowly enough.
Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the
vehicle in one place on a hill using only the
accelerator pedal may damage the transaxle.
If you are stuck, do not spin the tires. When
stopping on a hill, use the brakes, or parking
brake to hold the vehicle in place.
If there is a malfunction with the automatic
transaxle, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or
the HOLD indicator light will turn on or flash. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 181 or Hold
Mode Light on page 181.
Have your vehicle fixed as soon as possible.
Hold Mode
If your vehicle’s transaxle has hold mode, you can
select this mode to drive with some characteristics
of a manual transaxle. With hold mode turned
on, the automatic transaxle will stay in a specific
gear range.
Press the HOLD button on the shift lever console
to turn on hold mode. Press the button again
to turn off hold mode, and return to normal
automatic transaxle operation.
