Overdrive off switch
The transaxle is a 4-speed (3-speed plus
overdrive) automatic transaxle. By operat-
ing the overdrive off switch, the transaxle
can be converted to a 3-speed automatic
transaxle that will not move to the over-
drive position. To convert the transaxle to
the 3-speed mode, push in the overdrive
off switch and release it.
To return the transaxle to the 4-speed
mode, push in the overdrive off switch
again.
When the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ACC”, the
transaxle in the 3-speed mode is con-
verted to the 4-speed mode automatically.
The 3-speed mode is suitable for the fol-
lowing driving conditions:
• Driving on hilly, winding roads
– You can drive more smoothly with less
frequent gear changing
• Going down a steep hill
– Some engine braking is provided
