Overdrive Switch
When the overdrive switch is turned on,
the transaxle will automatically upshift
to the second, third and overdrive gears.
When the overdrive switch is turned off,
the transaxle will not upshift to the
overdrive gear. For normal driving, the
selector lever should be left in the "D"
position and the overdrive switch turned
on.
If you need to accelerate rapidly, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor. The transaxle will automatically
shift to a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed and load.
Never leave the vehicle unattended
while the engine is running.
o When accelerating from a stop on
a steep hill, the vehicle may have
a tendency to roll backwards. Shift-
ing the shift lever into 2nd gear
will help prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards.
o Check the automatic transaxle fluid
level regularly, and add fluid as
necessary.
o See the maintenance schedule for
the proper fluid recommendation.
