NOTICE:
I
Damage to your transaxle caused by
shifting out of "P" (Park) or "N"
(Neutral) with the engine racing
isn't covered by your warranty.
Forward Gears
Automatic Overdrive: Your
automatic transaxle has automatic
overdrive. This position is for normal
driving. If you need more power for
passing, and you're:
Going less than 35 mph
(56
km/h),
push your accelerator pedal about
halfway down.
Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or
more, push the accelerator all the way
down.
You'll automatically shift down to the
next gear and have more power.
NOTICE:

If your vehicle seems to 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 2
(Second Gear) when you are driving
less than
35
mph
(56
km/h) and
@
(Overdrive) for higher speeds.
D (Third Gear):
D
is like
@,
but you never go into
Overdrive.
Here are some times you might choose
"D'
instead of
@:
-
When driving on hilly, winding roads
-
When towing a trailer, so there is less
shifting between gears
-
When going down a steep hill
(Second Gear): This position gives you
lore power but lower fuel economy.
You
an
use "2"on hills. It can help control
our speed as you go down steep
lountain roads, but then you would also
!ant to use your brakes off and on.
