DRIVE (D): This position is for normal driving. It is the
Overdrive position. If you need more power for passing,
and you're:
-
Going less than 35 mph (56
M),
push your
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
-
Going about 35 mph (56 k m h ) or more, push the
accelerator pedal all the way down.
You'll shift down to the next gear and have more
power.
NOTICE:
If your vehicle seems tb start up rather slowly, or
if it seems not to shift gears as you go faster,
something may be wrong with a transaxle system
sensor. If you drive very far that way, your
vehicle can be damaged. So, if this happens, have
your vehicle serviced right away. Until then, you
can use SECOND
(2)
when you are driving less
than 35 mph (56
km/h)
and DRIVE (D) for
higher speeds.
THIRD (3): THIRD ( 3 ) is like DRIVE (D), but you
never go into Overdrive.
Here are some times you might choose THIRD ( 3 )
instead of DRIVE (D):
-
When driving on hilly, winding roads.
-
When towing a trailer,
so
there is less shifting
- 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
between gears.
lr brakes off and on.
NOTICE:
Don't drive in SECOND
(2)
for more than
5
miles (8
km), or
at
speeds
over 55 mph
(88
km/h),
or you
can
damage your transaxle. Use
DRIVE
@)
or THIRD (3) as much aspossible.
Don't shift into SECOND
(2)
unless you are going
slower than
65
mph (105
km/h),
or you can
damage your engine.
