Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is

securely latched in P (Park).

Never leave your vehicle unattended while it is running.

R (Reverse)

With the gearshift in R (Reverse),

the vehicle will move backward. You

should always come to a complete

stop before shifting into and out of

R (Reverse).

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 mounted gearshift with O/D off switch

The Overdrive position with the

O/D OFF switch not depressed is

the normal driving position for this

automatic overdrive transaxle. When

your vehicle cruises at a constant

speed for any length of time, this fourth gear will increase your fuel

economy.

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, press the O/D OFF switch.

The transaxle will be in the “overdrive on” mode when the vehicle is

started even if the O/D OFF mode was selected when the vehicle was

last shut off.
