402 STARTING AND OPERATING
The automatic transaxle fluid and filter should be
changed if you REGULARLY tow a trailer for more than
45 minutes of continuous operation. Refer to "Mainte-
nance Schedule" for the proper maintenance intervals.
NOTE:
• Check the automatic transaxle fluid level before tow-
ing.
• The six-speed automatic transaxle is sealed and re-
quires an authorized dealer to check the transaxle
fluid.
Electronic Speed Control – If Equipped
• Do not use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.
• When using the speed control, if you experience speed
drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disengage until
you can get back to cruising speed.
• Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to
maximize fuel efficiency.
Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and transaxle overheating,
take the following actions:
• City Driving
When stopped for short periods of time, shift the trans-
axle into NEUTRAL but do not increase engine idle
speed.
• Highway Driving
Reduce speed.
• Air Conditioning
Turn off temporarily.
