Forward Gears AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (@): This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you're: Going less than about 35 mph (56 km/h), push your accelerator pedal about halfway down. 0 THIRD GEAR (3): This is like OVERDRIVE but you never go into Overdrive. Here are some times you might choose THIRD (3) instead of OVERDRIVE (@): 0 (a), When driving on hilly, winding roads. When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears. Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all the way down. 0 When going down a steep hill. You'll shift down to the next gear and have more power. NOTICE: If your vehicle seemsto startup rather slowly, or if it seems not to shift gears as go faster, you 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 (56 km/h) and OVERDRIVE for higher speeds. SECOND GEAR (2): This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy. 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. I NOTICE: Don't drive in SECOND (2) for more than 5 miles (8 km), or atspeeds over 55 mph (88 kndh), or you can damage your transaxle. Use OVERDRIVE (@)or THIRD (3) as much as possible. Don't shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going lower than 65 mph (105 kmh), or you can damage your engine. (a) 2-22
