o  When climbing steep gradients us-
ing  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.
