AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D): This position is for
normal driving with the automatic transaxle. If you need
more power for passing, and you are:
• Going less than about 35 mph (55 km/h), push your
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
• Going about 35 mph (55 km/h), push your
accelerator all the way down.
INTERMEDIATE (I): This position is also used for
normal driving, however, it offers more power and lower
fuel economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D).
Here are some times you might choose
INTERMEDIATE (I) instead of AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (D):
• When driving on hilly, winding roads.
• When going down a steep hill.
LOW (L): This position gives you more power but lower
fuel economy. You can use LOW (L) 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: If you drive in LOW (L) for more than
25 miles (40 km) or at speeds over 55 mph (90 km/h),
you could damage your engine and/or transaxle.
Use DRIVE (D) or INTERMEDIATE (I) as much
as possible. Shift into LOW (L) only if your vehicle
is going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h).
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 to hold the vehicle in place.
Shift Lock Release
If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still cannot
shift out of PARK (P), try this:
1. Turn the ignition to OFF and remove the key.
2. Carefully pry the shift lock override cover from the
floor shift console.
