THIRD
(3) or
DRIVE
(D):
If your automatic transaxle
does not have AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@),
DRIVE (D) is for normal driving, at all speeds, in most
street and highway situations.
If your automatic transaxle has overdrive, THIRD (3) 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 THRD (3) or
DRIVE (D) instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(a):
- When driving on hilly, winding roads.
- When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting
between gears.
-
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.
