Cold Weather Automatic
Transaxle Shifting
When operating your vehicle in severe
cold conditions, the transaxle may be
prevented from shifting into 4th gear
until the transaxle fluid has warmed up
to its operational temperature. It may
take several miles of driving to warm up
the fluid and enable the 4th gear upshift.
While the fluid is warming up, your
vehicle will shift normally between 1st,
2nd and 3rd gear.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Opening the Hood
To open the hood, pull the hood release
handle (shown above) located on the
lower-left side of the instrument panel.
At the front of the vehicle, feel under
the front-center lip of the hood for the
secondary hood release (see above
right) and push the lever up, using a
squeezing motion.
Lift the hood and release the hood prop
from its retainer on the underside of the
hood. Place the hood prop into the slot
on the inner fender.
To close the hood, lift up on it to relieve
pressure on the hood prop.
Remove the hood prop from the slot in
the inner fender and return the prop to
its retainer on the underside of the hood.
Lower the hood to 8–10 inches above
the vehicle and release it to latch it fully.
Check to ensure that it is latched prop-
erly and repeat if necessary.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
