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.
