Forward
Gears
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@):
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.
0
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.
NOTICE:
If
your vehicle seems to start up rather slowly, or
if
it seems not to shift gears as you go faster,
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
(56
km/h) and
OVERDRIVE
(a)
for higher speeds.
THIRD GEAR
(3):
This is like OVERDRIVE
(a),
but
you never
go
into Overdrive. Here are some times
you
might choose THIRD
(3)
instead of OVERDRIVE
(@):
0
When driving on hilly, winding roads.
When towing
a
trailer,
so
there is
less
shifting
between gears.
0
When going down a steep hill.
SECOND GEAR
(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
also want to use your brakes
off and on.
I
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in
SECOND
(2)
for more than
5
miles
(8
km), or at speeds over
55
mph
(88
kndh), or you can damage your transaxle.
Use
OVERDRIVE
(@)
or
THIRD
(3)
as much
as possible.
Don’t shift into
SECOND
(2)
unless you are going
lower than
65
mph
(105
kmh),
or
you can
damage your engine.
