LOW TWO (L2): This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy. You can use LOW TWO (L2) 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: Do not drive in LOW TWO (L2) for more than 25 miles (40 km), or at speeds over 55 mph (90 km/h), or you can damage your transaxle. Use AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) or LOW FOUR (L4) as much as possible. Do not shift into LOW TWO (L2) unless you are going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h) or you can damage your engine. Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal may damage the transaxle. If you are stuck, do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill, use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place. Parking Brake The parking brake lever is located to the right of the driver's seat. To set the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down and pull up on the parking brake lever. If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light will come on. 2-20
