N (Neutral)

With the gearshift in

the N (Neutral)

position, the vehicle

can be started and is

free to roll. Hold the

brake pedal down

while in this position.

(Overdrive — column shift without O/D OFF

switch) or D (Overdrive — column or console

mounted gearshift with O/D off switch)

The overdrive position

is the normal driving

position for an

automatic overdrive

transaxle. It works the

same way as

(Overdrive) or D

(Drive — with the O/D

OFF switch not

depressed) works, but

shifts to a fourth gear

— an overdrive gear —

when your vehicle

cruises at a constant speed for any length of time.

This fourth gear will increase your fuel economy

when you travel at cruising speeds.

Overdrive may not be appropriate for certain

terrains. If the transaxle shifts back and forth

between third and fourth gears while you are driving

hilly roads or if your vehicle requires additional

power for climbing hills, shift into D (Drive) or press

the O/D OFF switch (if equipped).
