214 STARTING AND OPERATING "3" Drive This range eliminates shifts into Overdrive. The transaxle will operate normally in First, Second and Third while in this range. The "3" position should also be used when descending steep grades to prevent brake system distress. NOTE: Using the "3" range while operating the vehicle under heavy operating conditions will improve performance and extend transaxle life by reducing excessive shifting and heat build up. "L" Low This range should be used for engine braking when descending very steep grades. In this range, upshifts will occur only to prevent engine overspeed while downshifts occur earlier than other gear range selections. NOTE: The vehicle computer will over ride Overdrive and "3" Drive ranges by changing shift points if the transaxle operating temperature exceeds acceptable limits. This is done to prevent transaxle damage due to overheating. AUTOSTICKா - IF EQUIPPED AutoStick௡ is a driver-interactive transaxle that offers six manual ratio changes to provide you with more control. AutoStick௡ allows you to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
