FIRST (1) (3-Speed Transaxle Only): 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
(l), the transaxle won't shift into first gear until the
vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
I f 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 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.
Parking Brake
To set the parking brake,
hold the regular brake pedal
down with your right foot.
Push down the parking
brake pedal with your left
foot. If the ignition is on,
the brake system warning
light will come
on.
The parking brake uses the brakes on the rear wheels.
