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.

General Operating Instructions

tor can be moved.
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.
o Theenginemayonlybestartedwhen
the selector is at position "P" or "N".
o Ensure that the footbrake is firmly
appliedwhenshiftingfrom"P"or"N"
to"D","2","L"or"R"and viceversa.
o Always engage the parking brake
whenthevehicleisunattended,never
use the "P" position in place of the
parkingbrake.
