SECOND
(2):
This position gives you
more
power.
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 five miles
(8
km),
or
at speeds over
55
mph
(88
km/h), otherwise 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 siower man
65
mph
(105
km/h),
or
you
can damage your engine.
FIRST
(1):
This
position gives you even more power than
SECOND
(2).
You
can
use
it
on
very
steep
hills, or
in
deep snow or
mud.
(If
the
shift
lever is put
in
FIRST
(I),
the transaxle won’t
shift
into
FIRST
(1)
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 cause overheating
and damage the transaxle. Use your brakes to
hold
your vehicle
in position on a
hill.
