DRIVE (D):
This position is for normal driving. If you
need more power for passing, and you're:
Going
less
than about 27 mph (43
km/h),
push your
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
Going about 29 mph (47
km/h)
or more, push your
accelerator pedal all the way down.
You'll shift down to the next gear and have more power.
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
km/h),
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.
LOW (L): 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
shift lever is put in LOW (L), the transaxle won't shift
into low gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
F O G C E :
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.
