It is recommended that you downshift to a
lower gear when needed to maintain the
desired speed, according to the table.
Avoid downshifting at too high a speed. The
engine may suffer damage.
To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake
life, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descend-
ing a steep hill.
Downshifting is also important to avoid “lug-
ging” the engine at too low a speed, such as
when turning a corner or when driving up a
steep hill.

 Do not use the gearshift lever as a hand
rest. This can result in premature wear of
the transaxle shift forks.

The table above shows the maximum rec-
ommended driving speed in each gear. Do
not drive near or at these speeds for pro-
longed periods of time.
CAUTION
 Avoid downshifting that may cause the
tachometer pointer to enter the red zone.
This puts the engine at risk of being dam-
aged.
