2 (Second Gear)
This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy. You can
use "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.
NOTICE:
Don't drive in
"2"
(Second Gear) for more than 5 miles (8
km),
or at speeds over
55
mph (88 km/h), or you can damage your
transaxle. Use
"@"
or "3" as much as possible.
Don't shift into "2" unless you are going slower than 65 mph
(105 km/h), or you can damage your engine.
1 (First Gear)
This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy)
than "2." You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever is put in "1," the transaxle won't shift into first gear
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If 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.
