DRIVE (D): This position is for normal driving.
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
your brakes off and on.
NOTICE:
~~
Don't drive in SECOND
(2) for more than
25 miles (41 km), or at speeds over
55 mph
(88 k m ) ,
or
you can damage your transaxle.
Use DRIVE (D)
as
much as possible. Don't shift
into SECOND (2) unless you are going slower
than 65 mph (105 km/h),
or you
can damage
your engine.
FIRST (1): This
position gives you even more power
(but lower fuel economy) than SECOND (2). You can
use it on very steep hills,
or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever is put in FIRST
(I),
the transaxle
won't shift into first gear until. the vehicle is goinq
slowly enough.
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 or shift into
PARK (P) to
hold
your
vehicle in position on a hill.
Forward Gears ($-Speed)
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D): This position is for
normal driving with the four-speed automatic transaxle.
If you need more power for passing, and you're:
Going less than about
35
mph (55 km/h), push your
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
Going about 35 mph (55 krn/h), push your
accelerator all the way down.
