When to use D (Drive) or press the O/D OFF switch
You will notice that there is only one
drive position on your gearshift
indicator (instead of Drive and
Overdrive). However, you will find a
control labeled OVERDRIVE located
on the gearshift lever. Push in the
switch and the O/D OFF light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
With the O/D OFF light illuminated,
the transaxle will operate in first,
second and third gears and will not
shift into fourth gear. Operating in D
(O/D OFF) provides more engine
braking than Overdrive for
descending hills or city driving.
To return the transaxle to the normal Overdrive operation, press the O/D
OFF control again. Use this control to select between Overdrive or D
(O/D OFF) whenever you drive your vehicle.
If the O/D OFF indicator light is flashing on and off repeatedly when the
vehicle is started or does not come on when the O/D OFF control is
pressed, there may be a transaxle electronic system malfunction. You
should contact your dealer as soon as possible or damage to the
transaxle could occur.
2 (Second)
Use 2 (Second) for start-up on
slippery roads or to give you more
engine braking to slow your vehicle
on downgrades.
Do not go faster than 108 km/h
(68 mph) when in this gear. You can
upshift from 2 (Second) to
overdrive at any time.
