SECOND GEAR
(2):
This position gives you
more power but lower
fuel
economy.
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
5
miles
(8
km), or at speeds over
55
mph
(88
km/h), or you can damage your transaxle.
Use
@
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.
FIRST GEAR
(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 selector lever is put in
FIRST
(I),
the transaxle
won’t shift into first gear until the vehicle
is
going
slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If
your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try
to
drive. This might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid
object.
You
could damage your transaxle.
Also,
if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your
vehicle there with
only
the accelerator pedal. This could
overheat and damage the transaxle. Use your brakes or
shift into
PARK
(P)
to hold your vehicle
in
position
on
a
hill.
