AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(0):
This position is
for normal driving.
If
you need more power
for
passing,
and you’re:
Going less than about
35
mph
(56
km/h), push your
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
Going about
35
mph
(56
km/h) or more, push the
accelerator all the way down.
You’ll shift down to the next gear and have
more power.
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@)
can be used
when
towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, driving on steep
hills or for off-road driving. You may want to shift the
transmission to THIRD
(3)
or,
if
necessary,
a
lower gear
selection
if
the transmission shifts too often.
THIRD
(3):
This position
is
also used for normal
driving, however,
it
offers more power and lower fuel
economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@).
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
ct
r
I
so
want
to
use
your brakes
off
and
on.
If
you manually select SECOND
(2),
the transmission will
drive
in
second gear. You may use this feature for reducing
torque to the rear wheels when you are trying to start your
vehicle
from
a stop on slippery road surfaces.
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
(1)
while the vehicle is
moving forward, the transmission won’t shift into first
gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your rear 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 transmission.
Also,
if
you stop when going uphill, don’t hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could overheat and damage the
transmission. Use your brakes or shift into
PARK
(P)
to hold your vehicle in position on
a hill.
