AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(a):
This position is for
normal driving. If you need more power for passing,
and you’re:
Going less than approximately
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.
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
(a).
Here
-are some times you might choose THIRD
(3)
instead of
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@):
When driving on hilly, winding roads,
between gears, or
When towing a trailer,
so
there is less shifting
When going down a steep hill.
SECOND
(2):
This
position gives you more power but
lower fuel economy than AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE
(@)
or
THIRD
(3).
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
25
miles
(41
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.
