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 AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (0) for higher speeds.

driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel

When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting
When going down a steep hill

lower fuel economy.
You can use SECOND (2) on hills.

Don’t shif’t into SECOND (2) unless you are going
slower than 65 mph (105 km/h), or you can
damage your engine.
