Forward Gears (3-Speed)
DRIVE (D):
This
position is for normal driving.
SECOND
(2):
This position gives you more power but
lower fuel economy. 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:
Don’t drive in SECOND
(2)
for more than
25
miles
(41
km), or at speeds over
55
mph
(88
kdh), or you can damage your transaxle.
Use DRIVE (D)
as
much
as
possible. Don’t shift
into SECOND
(2)
unless you are going slower
than
65
mph
(105
km/h),
or
you
can damage
your engine.
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.
lf
the selector
lever is put in
F’IRST
(l),
the transaxle won’t
shift
into
fist
gear
until
the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If
your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to
drive. This might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand
or
mud or were up against
a
solid
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 PARK
(P)
to hold your
vehicle in position on a
hill.
