OVERDRIVE
(@):
This position is for normal driving.
If you need more power for passing, and you’re:
0
Going less than
35
mph
(55
M),
push the
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
0
Going about
35
mph
(55
km/h)
or more,
push
the
accelerator all the way down.
The transaxle will shift down to the next gear and
have more power.
NOTICE:
If
your vehicle seems to
start
up rather slowly, or
if
it
doesn’t seem to shift gears
as
you accelerate,
something may
be
wrong with a transaxle system
sensor. If you drive very far that
way,
your
vehicle can
be
damaged.
So
if
this
happens, have
your vehicle serviced right away. Until then, you
can use SECOND
(2)
when you are driving less
than
35
mph
(55
km/h)
and
OVERDRIVE
(0)
for higher speeds.
THIRD
(3):
This position is also used for normal
driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel
economy than OVERDRIVE
(@).
Here
are
examples for using THIRD
(3)
instead of
OVERDRIVE
(a):
When driving on hilly, winding roads.
0
When towing a trailer,
so
there
is
less shifting
between gears.
0
When going down a steep hill.
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:
r
Don’t shift into
SECOND
(2)
unless you are going
slower than
65
mph
(105
km/h),
or you can
damage your engine.
