o Check the automatic transmis- sion fluid level regularly and addfluid as necessary. SC130A1-E OVERDRIVE SWITCH The overdrive switch prevents the trans- mission upshifting higher than third gear when the switch is turned "OFF". Thetransmission will start from rest in first gear and upshift to second and third gear depending upon the roadspeedand throttle opening but will not upshift to fourth gear. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transmission willstart from rest in first gear and will upshift, depending upon roadspeed and throttle opening to second, third andfourth gear. Therefore, when the over- drive switch is turned "OFF", the trans- mission performs as a three speed unitand the overdrive warning light located
