accelerator all the way down.
This is like
@,
but you never
go
into Overdrive.
Here are some times you might choose
“D
or
3”
instead
of
@:
-
When driving on hilly, winding roads
-
When towing a trailer,
so
there is less shifting
between gears
-
When going down

hill
2
(Second Gear)
This position gives you more power but lower fuel
economy. You can use
“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
“2”
(Second Gear) for more than
5
miles
(8
km), or at speeds over
55
mph
(88
km/h),
or
you can damage your transaxle. Use “@”or
“D
or
3’’
as much
as
possible.
Don’t shift into
“2”
unless you are going slower
than
65
mph
(105
km/h), or you can damage your
engine.
1
(First Gear)
This position gives you even more power (but lower
fuel economy) than
“2.”
You
can use
it
on very steep
hills, or
in
deep
snow
or mud.
If
the selector lever
is
put
in
“1
,”
the transaxle won’t shift into first gear
until
the
vehicle is going slowly enough.
