R (Reverse)
With the gearshift lever in R
(Reverse), the vehicle will move
backward. You should always come
to a complete stop before shifting
into and out of R (Reverse).
N (Neutral)
With the gearshift lever in the N
(Neutral) position, the vehicle can
be started and is free to roll. Hold
the brake pedal down while in this
position.
(Overdrive) column mounted gearshift with O/D off switch
The
(Overdrive) position with
the O/D OFF switch not depressed
is the normal driving position for
this automatic overdrive transaxle.
When your vehicle cruises at a
constant speed for any length of time, this fourth gear will increase your
fuel economy.
(Overdrive) may not be
appropriate for certain terrains. If
the transaxle shifts back and forth
between third and fourth gears
while you are driving hilly roads or
if your vehicle requires additional power for climbing hills, press the O/D
OFF switch.
The transaxle will be in the “overdrive on” mode when the vehicle is
started even if the O/D OFF mode was selected when the vehicle was
last shut off.
If the O/D OFF indicator light is flashing on and off repeatedly when the
vehicle is started or does not come on when the O/D OFF control is
pressed, it means that there is a transaxle electronic system malfunction.
You should contact your dealer as soon as possible or damage to the
transaxle could occur.
