Overdrive Switch
When the  overdrive switch  is turned
"ON", the transaxle functions as a fully
automaticfourspeedunitwiththemaxi-
mum  fuel  economy potential  of  the
vehicle being realized.
o  When descending steep  gradients
whereenginebrakingisrequired,the
selector should be placed at the "2"
or "L" position depending upon the
vehicle speed.
o  When climbing steep gradients us-
ing  large   throttle   openings,  the
transaxle  may repeatedly  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"positionwiththeaccel-
eratordepressed.
o  Ensurethattheoverdriveswitchisat
the  "ON"   position  for  maximum
economy.

HFC3023-D
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
tofourthgear.Whentheoverdriveswitch
is turned "ON", the transaxle will start
from rest in first gear and will upshift,
dependinguponroadspeedandthrottle
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 located  in the
instrument cluster will be illuminated.
