OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Overdrive off switch
Power mode selector switch
4-Speed Automatic Transmission
The transmission is a 4-speed (3-speed
plus overdrive) automatic transmission.
By operating the overdrive off switch,
the transmission can be converted to a
3-speed automatic transmission that will
not shift to the overdrive position. To
convert the transmission to the 3-speed
mode, push in the overdrive off switch
and release it. The switch comes out and
the "O/D OFF" indicator light in the
instrument cluster comes on.
To return the transmission to the 4-speed
mode, push in the overdrive off switch
again. The switch remains in and the
"O/D OFF" indicator light goes off.
NOTE:
With the transfer lever in the "4L" posi-
tion, the 4-speed automatic transmission
will remain in the 3-speed mode.
A power mode selector switch is fitted
as well. When you need more power for
climbing hills or quicker acceleration,
turn the switch to "P" (power). The
"POWER" indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster comes on. For normal driv-
ing, turn the switch to " N " (normal). The
"POWER" indicator light goes off.
The gearselector lever has a lock mecha-
nism to help prevent accidental moving
into or out of "P" (Park), into "R"
(Reverse), from "D" (Drive) to "2" (Low
2), and from "2" (Low 2) to "L" (Low 1).
To release the lock, push in the lock but-
ton on your side of the gear selector
lever before shifting.
