SECOND
(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
kdh), 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.
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 selector lever is put in
FIRST
(l),
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.
