OVERDRIVE (
B): This position is for normal driving.
If you need more power for passing, and you’re:
D Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push the
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
D Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the
accelerator all the way down.
The transaxle will shift down to the next gear and
have more power.
NOTICE:
If your vehicle seems to start up rather slowly,
or if it doesn’t seem to shift gears as you
accelerate, something may be wrong with a
transaxle system sensor. If you drive very far
that way, your vehicle can be damaged. So if this
happens, have your vehicle serviced right away.
Until then, you can use SECOND (2) when you
are driving less than 35 mph (55 km/h) and
OVERDRIVE (
B) for higher speeds.
THIRD (3): This position is also used for normal
driving, however, it offers more power and lower
fuel economy than OVERDRIVE (
B).
Here are examples for using THIRD (3) instead
of OVERDRIVE (
B):
D When driving on hilly, winding roads.
D When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting
between gears.
D When going down a steep hill.
SECOND (2): This position gives you more power than
THIRD (3). You can use SECOND (2) on hills. It can
help control your speed as you go down steep mountain
roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes
off and on.
NOTICE:
Don’t shift into SECOND (2) unless you are
going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h), or you
can damage your engine.
