STARTING AND OPERATING
12
If you need to accelerate rapidly, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor. The transmission will automati-
cally shift to a lower gear, depending
on the speed.
NOTE:
Turn the overdrive switch on for
good fuel economy and smooth
driving. If engine braking is needed
in the "D" range or if repeated up-
shifting and downshifting between
the 3rd and 4th gear is needed when
climbing a gentle slope, it is recom-
mended that the overdrive switch
be turned off. Turn the overdrive
switch back on immediately after-
ward.
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" only when
the vehicle has completely
stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in
the reverse or any of the forward
positions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N" to "R",
"D", "2" or "L" position.
o Do not use the "P" position in
place of the parking brake. Al-
ways set the parking brake, shift
the transmission into "P" and
turn off the ignition when you
leave the vehicle, even momen-
tarily.
Never leave the vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is run-
ning.
o Check the automatic transmis-
sion fluid level regularly, and add
fluid as necessary.
See the maintenance schedule
for the proper fluid recommen-
dation.

OVERDRIVE SWITCH
(If installed)
When the overdrive switch is turned
on, the transmission will automatically
upshift to the second, third and over-
drive gears. When the overdrive switch
is turned off, the transmission will not
upshift to the overdrive gear at all.
For normal driving, the selector lever
should be left in the "D" position and
the overdrive switch turned on. To
move the selector lever, the push but-
ton on the selector lever handle may
have to be depressed first.
