Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine THIRD (3): This position is also used for noma1
driving however,
it offers more power and lower fuel
economy than
OVERDRIVE (0).
Here are examples for using THIRD (3) instead of
OVERDRIVE (@):
0 When driving on hilly, winding roads.
0 When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting
between
gears.
0 When going down a steep hill.
SECOND (2): This position gives you more power. 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.
I NOTICE:
~ ~~ ~~~ ~ ~~~~
Don’t shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going
slower than
65 rnph (105 kdh), or you can
damage your engine.
FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power
than
SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills,
or
in deep snow or mud. (If the shift lever is put in
FIRST (l), the transaxle won’t shift into first gear
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.)
I 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 cause overheating and damage
the transaxle. Use your brakes
to hold your
vehicle in position on a hill.

all the way in and release. It will pop back by itself
when it’s ready
to light. You may also have a lighter
located at the
rear seat air outlet.
Note that power to the cigarette lighter will shut
off
10 minutes after the ignition is turned off. This helps to
prevent battery drainage. For more information, see
“Inadvertent Battery Saver” earlier
in this section.
NOTICE:
Don’t hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it
is heating. If you do, it won’t be able to
back away from the heating element when it’s
ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the
Iighter and the heating element.
Sun Visors
Swing down the visor to block out glare. It can also be
detached from the center mount and moved to the side
while the auxiliary sunshade remains to block glare
from the front. Pull the front shade from the headliner
and position it to your preference.
The driver’s sunshade is also equipped
with a storage
flap that can be used
for maps or toll tickets.
