Driving Your Contour
*
[DR00200(ALL)09/93]
Procedures for driving your vehicle will vary depending on
which type of transaxle your vehicle has. You may be familiar
with the term “transmission.” We use transaxle because it is a
more accurate term for vehicles that have front-wheel drive.

Your vehicle will have one of the following types of transaxles:
[DR00410(ALL)02/94]

an automatic overdrive transaxle with transaxle control
switch, or
*
[DR00600(ALL)11/94]
■
a manual transaxle.

[DR00700(ALL)11/94]
If you are not sure which transaxle your vehicle has, talk to
your dealer.

[DR00750(ALL)04/95]
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Powertrain Control
Module that limits engine and/or vehicle speeds with a cut-out

Driving with an Automatic Overdrive
Transaxle
[DR00850(ALL)05/95]
Your automatic overdrive transaxle provides fully automatic
operation in either D (Overdrive) or with the transaxle control
switch depressed. Driving with the shift selector in D
(Overdrive) gives the best fuel economy for normal driving
conditions. For manual control, start in 1 (First) and then shift
manually.
