Notice: Driving your vehicle if you notice that it is

moving slowly or not shifting gears as you

increase speed may damage the transaxle. Have

your vehicle serviced right away. You can drive in

SECOND (2) when you are driving less than 35 mph

(55 km/h) and AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) for

higher speeds until then.

THIRD (3): This position is also used for normal driving,

but it offers more power and lower fuel economy than

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (

X).

Here are some times you might choose THIRD (3)

instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (

X):

• When driving on hilly, winding roads.

• When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting

between gears.

• When going down a steep hill.

• When driving in non-highway scenarios

(i.e. city streets, etc.).

SECOND (2): This position gives you more power than

THIRD (3) but lower fuel economy than THIRD (3). 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.

Notice: Driving in SECOND (2) for more than

25 miles (40 km) or at speeds over 55 mph (90 km/h)

may damage the transaxle. Also, shifting into

SECOND (2) at speeds above 65 mph (105 km/h) can

cause damage. Drive in THIRD (3) or AUTOMATIC

OVERDRIVE (D) instead of SECOND (2).

FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power

but lower fuel economy than SECOND (2). You can use

it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the

shift lever is in FIRST (1), the transaxle won’t shift into

ﬁrst gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough.

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.
