AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D):This position is for
normal driving.
If
you need more power for passing,
and you’re:
Going less than
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.
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
kmh)
and AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE
(D)
for higher speeds.

THIRD
(3):
This position is also used for normal
driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel
economy
than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE

Here
are some times you might choose THIRD
(3)
instead of
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D):
When driving on hilly, winding roads.
When towing a trailer,
so
there is less shifting
When going down a steep hill.
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.
