Forward Gears 
(Automatic Overdrive): 
If your  automatic  transaxle  has 
automatic  overdrive,  this position  is  for 
normal driving.  If you need more power 
for passing,  and you’re: 
Going less  than  about 35 mph (56 
km/h),  push  your accelerator pedal 
about  halfway  down. 
Going about 35 mph (56 Itm/h)  or 
more,  push the accelerator  all the  way 
down. 
You’ll  shift down 
to the next  gear and 
have more power. 
NOTICE: 
This  NOTICE  applies only if you 
have  the 
3800 V6 engine  and the 
automatic  Overdrive transaxle. If 
your vehicle 
is so equipped,  and  if it 
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 
2 (Second  Gear) when you are 
drivin  less  than 
35 mph (56 ltm/h) 
and 
d D (Overdrive) for higher 
speeds. 
D (Third  Gear): If your  automatic 
transaxle  does not have Overdrive,  this 
position  is for normal driving,  at all 
speeds,  in most  street  and  highway 
situations. 
If your  automatic  transaxle  has 
Overdrive, 
D is  like m, but  you  never 
go  into  Overdrive.  Here  are some times 
you  might choose 
D instead  of m: 
When driving  on hilly,  winding roads. 
When  towing  a  trailer, so there is less 
When  going  down  a  steep hill. 
2 (Second  Gear): This position  gives 
you  more power  but lower  fuel 
economy.  You can use 
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. 
shifting between gears. 
NOTICE: 
Don’t drive in 2 (Second  Gear) for 
more  than 
5 miles (8 ltm),  or  at 
speeds over 
55 mph (88 ltm/h),  or 
you  can damage your  transaxle. 
Use 
D (m or D if your vehicle  has 
Overdrive)  as much  as possible. 
Don’t  shift into 
2 unless  you are 
going  slower  than 
65 mph (105 
ltm/h),  or  you can damage your 
engine. 
1 (First Gear): This position  gives  you 
even  more power  (but lower  fuel 
economy)  than 
2. You can use  it on 
very  steep  hills, or  in deep snow  or
