AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(0):
If
your automatic
transaxle has AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(a),
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 shift down to
the next gear and have more power.
NOTICE:
This NOTICE applies only if you have an
automatic overdrive transaxle.
If
your vehicle is
so
equipped and if it 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 SECOND
(2)
when you are driving
less than
35
mph
(56
km/h) and AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE
(0)
for higher speeds.
THIRD
(3):
This position is also used for normal
driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel
economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@).
Here
are some times you might choose THIRD
(3)
instead
of
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@):
0
When driving on hilly, winding roads.
0
When towing a trailer,
so
there is less shifting
between gears.
0
When going down a steep hill.
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.
