- Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all the way down. You'll shift down to the next gear and have more power. NOTICE: Don't drive in "2" (Second Gear) for more than 5 miles (8 km), or at speeds over55 mph (88 km/h), or you can damage your transaxle. Use "@"or "D or 3'' as muchas possible. Don't shift into"2" unless you are going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h), or you can damage your engine. D or 3 (Third Gear) This is like @, but you never go into Overdrive. Here are some times you might choose "D or 3" instead of @: - When driving on hilly, winding roads When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears When going down a steep hill 1 (First Gear) This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy) than "2." You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put in "1 ," the transaxle won't shift into first gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough. - 2 (Second Gear) This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy. You can use "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. 80
