THIRD
(3):
This position is also used for normal driving,
however,
it
offers more power and lower fuel economy
than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(a).
Here are
some times you might choose THIRD
(3)
instead of
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@
):
When driving on hilly, winding roads,
when towing a trailer,
so
there is less shifting
when going down a steep hill.
between gears, or
SECOND
(2):
This position gives you more power but
lower fuel economy than AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE
(0
or THIRD
(3).
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.
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
shift lever is put in FIRST
(I),
the transaxle won’t shift
into FIRST
(1)
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
Notice:
If your front wheels won’t turn, 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 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
to hold your vehicle
in
position on a hill.
