Automatic Overdrive
This position is for normal driving. If you need more
power for passing, and you're:
- Going less than about 35
mph
(56
km/h), push
your accelerator pedal about halfway down.
- Going about 35 mph (56 k m / h )
or more, push the
accelerator all the way down.
You'll shift down to the next gear and have more
power.
D or 3 (Third Gear)
This is like
@,
but you never go into Overdrive.
Here are some times you might choose
"D or 3
"
instead of
@:
-
When driving on hilly, winding roads
- When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting
- When going down a steep hill
between gears
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.
