AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(a):
This position
is
for normal driving. If you need more power for passing,
and you’re:
Going less than about
35
mph
(55
km/h),
push your
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
Going about
35
mph
(55
km/h)
or more, push the
accelerator all the way down.
You’ll shift down
to
the next gear and have more power.
THIRD
(3):
This position
is
also used for normal
driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel
economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@).
Here are some times you might choose THIRD
(3)
instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(0):
When driving on hilly, winding roads
When towing
a
trailer,
so
there is less shifting
When going down a steep hill
between gears
SECOND
(2):
This position gives
you
more power but
lower fuel economy 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 drive in SECOND
(2)
for more than
5
miles
(8
km),
or at speeds over
55
mph
(90
km/h),
or you can damage your transaxle.
Use AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(03)
or
THIRD
(3)
as
much as possible.
Don’t shift into SECOND
(2)
unless you are
going slower than
65
mph
(105
kd),
or you
can damage your engine.
