Overdrive (Option)
If your automatic transaxle has OVERDRIVE, you can
use it for better fuel economy. After starting your
engine, always push in the OVERDRIVE button. Then
select the gear you want and press the accelerator pedal.
Gradual starts give you the best fuel economy. Fast
starts use the most fuel.
A light on the instrument panel will come on whenever
you turn off OVERDRIVE. See “Overdrive Off Light”
in the Index.
