Use 1 (Low) to provide maximum
engine braking on steep
downgrades. Upshifts can be made
by shifting to 2 (Second) or to
(Overdrive). Selecting 1 (Low) at
higher speeds causes the transaxle

shift to 1 (Low) after vehicle
decelerates to the proper speed.
Forced Downshifts
To gain acceleration in (Overdrive) or Drive (O/D OFF) when
passing another vehicle, push the accelerator to the floor. The transaxle
will downshift to the appropriate gear: third, second or first gear.

transaxle have a starter interrupt
interlock that prevents cranking of
the engine unless the clutch pedal is
depressed.
