2–8 STARTING AND OPERATING
Drive Range 2
2 = The drive position prevents the trans-
mission from shifting into third or fourth
gear.
Select drive range 2 for more power when
climbing hills, for engine braking effects
when driving down steep hills.
Drive Range 3
3 = The drive position for driving conditions
in first, second and third gear.
You might choose 3 instead of D under the
following conditions:
• When driving on long hilly roads
• When driving in heavy city traffic
• When going down a steep hill
Drive Range “D”
D = The drive position for normal driving
conditions in first to fourth gear.
Fourth gear (the overdrive gear) reduces
engine speed, fuel consumption and the en-
gine noise level.
After the engine has been started and “D”
selected, the economy driving program is al-
ways operative.
