2 (Second Gear) 0 I I 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 youwould also want to use your brakes off and on. 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. 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 "3"as much as possible. Don't shift into "2" unless youare going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h), or you can damage your engine. NOTICE: If your front wheels can't rotate,don't try to drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand mud or were up against a solid or object. You could damage your transaxle. Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold your vehicle there with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage the transaxle. Use your brakes or shift into "P"Park a to hold your vehicle in position on hill. I 86 r
