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 also want to use
your brakes
off
and on.
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in SECOND
(2)
for more than
25
miles
(41
km),
or
at
speeds over
55
mph
(88
kmh), or you can damage your transaxle.
Use DRIVE (D) or THIRD
(3)
as
much as
possible. Don’t shift into SECOND
(2)
unless
you are going slower than
65
mph
(105
km/h)
or you can damage your engine.
SECOND
(2)
will select either first or second gear
depending on vehicle speed.
If
your vehicle is slowing,
the transaxle will downshift to first gear at
20
to
25
miles per hour
(32
to
40
km/h)
for
engine braking.
You may notice some variation in shift speed in
SECOND
(2)
when accelerating or braking.
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
(l),
the transaxle
won’t shift into fiist gear until the vehicle
is
going
slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If
your front 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 can damage your transaxle.
Also,
if
you stop when going uphill, don’t hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could overheat and damage the
transaxle. Use your brakes or shift into PARK
(P)
to hold your vehicle in position on
a
hill.
