o  When  ascending  steep  gradients
using  large throttle  openings,  the
transaxle may re-peatedly  change
between two adjacent ratios. This is
a normal characteristic and may be
prevented by  cancelling the  over-
drive  facility if  the  shifting occurs
between third and fourth ratios, se-
lecting  position  "2"  if  the shifting
occurs between  third  and second
ratios or selecting position "1" if the
shifting  occurs  between  first  and
second ratios.
o  Never move the selector to or from
the "P" or "N" position  with the ac-
celerator depressed.
o  Ensure that the overdrive switch is
at the  "ON" position for  maximum
economy.
o  The  automatic  transaxle  may  be
used to  great  effect if  the vehicle
becomes stuck in snow  or mud by
allowing the vehicle to be rocked to
and fro. The  engine speed should
be held at approximately 1,000rpm
by means of the  accelerator pedal
and the  selector  lever moved  be-
tween the "D" and  "R" positions to
induce a rocking motion.

o  Turn  the  overdrive  switch  on  for
goodfueleconomyandsmoothdriv-
ing. But if engine braking is needed
in the "D"  range or if repeated up-
shifting and  downshifting between
the3rdand4thgearisneededwhen
climbing a gentle slope, it is recom-
mended that  the  overdrive switch
be  turned off.  Turn  the  overdrive
switch back  on immediately  after-
ward.
The  overdrive  switch   prevents  the
transaxle upshifting higher  than third
gear when the switch is turned "OFF".
The transaxle will start from rest in first
gear and upshift  to second and  third
gear depending upon  the roadspeed
and throttle opening but will not upshift
to  fourth  gear.  When  the overdrive
switch is  turned  "ON", the  transaxle
will start from rest in first gear and will
upshift,  depending  upon  roadspeed
and throttle  opening to second,  third
and fourth gear. Therefore, when the
overdrive switch is turned  "OFF", the
transaxle performs  as a three speed
unit  and the  overdrive  warning light
