DRIVE 0): position is for normal driving. This If you vehicle has overdrive, DRIVE (D) is the f for overdrive position. I you need more power passing, and you're: Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push your accelerator pedal about halfway down. Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the accelerator pedalall the way down. You'll shift down to the next gear and have more power. THIRD (3): You have this position if your vehicle has overdrive. THIRD (3) is like DRIVE (D), but you never go into overdrive. Here are some times you might choose THIRD (3) instead of DRIVE (D): 0 When driving on hilly, winding roads. When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears. When going down a steep hill. I NOTICE: If your vehicle seems to start up rather slowly, or if it seems notto shift gears as go faster, you something maybe wrong witha transaxle system sensor. If you drive very far that your way, vehicle can be damaged. So, if this happens, have your vehicle serviced right away. Until then,you can use SECOND (2) when you are drivingless than 35 mph (55 km/h) and DRIVE (D) for higher speeds. 2-18

DRIVE
0):
This
position
is
for normal
driving.
If you vehicle has overdrive,
DRIVE
(D)
is the
overdrive position.
If
you
need
more
power
for passing,
and
you’re:
Going less than
35
mph
(55
km/h),
push
your
accelerator pedal about halfway
down.
Going
about
35
mph
(55
km/h)
or more,
push
the
accelerator
pedal all the way
down.
You’ll shift down
to the next
gear
and
have
more
power.
I
NOTICE:
If
your vehicle seems to
start
up
rather
slowly, or
if
it
seems
not
to
shift
gears
as
you
go faster,
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
DRIVE
(D)
for
higher speeds.
THIRD
(3):
You
have
this
position
if
your
vehicle
has
overdrive.
THIRD
(3)
is like DRIVE
(D),
but
you
never
go into overdrive.
Here
are
some
times
you
might
choose
THIRD
(3)
instead of
DRIVE
(D):

When
driving
on

winding
roads.
