Using the Transaxle
4-Speed Automatic Transaxle

(1) 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 shift to the overdrive
position. To convert the transaxle to the 3-
speed mode, push in the overdrive off
switch and release it with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position. The “O/D OFF”
indicator light in the instrument cluster
comes on.
52D186
To return the transaxle to the 4-speed
mode, push in the overdrive off switch
again. The “O/D OFF” indicator light goes
off.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ACC” position, the transaxle in the 3-
speed mode is converted 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 gearshifting
• Going down a steep hill
– Some engine braking is provided
54G069
The gearshift lever has a lock mechanism
to help prevent accidental shifting 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 button on your side of the
gearshift lever before shifting.
The gearshift lever is designed so that it
can not be shifted out of the “P” position
unless the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position and the brake pedal is depressed
at the time that you push in the gearshift
lever lock button.
