shifting into D.
2 (Second Gear)
CAUTION
Use 2 (Second Gear) for more power
when climbing hills and for increased
braking when going down hills.This posi-
tion also helps reduce wheel spin on slip-
pery surfaces. When the shift lever is
placed in 2 (Second Gear), the transaxle
will automatically shift from first to sec-
ond gear.
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transaxle if you shift into R
(Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion, except when “Rocking the

on the slightest incline unless the parking
brake or service brakes are applied.

The transaxle may be damaged if
you shift into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion.
CAUTION

Do not exceed the recommended
maximum speed in 2 (Second Gear)
or L (Low). Operating the vehicle
above the maximum speed recom-
mended for 2 (Second Gear) or L
(Low) may cause excessive heat
which could damage the automatic
transaxle.
This is the normal forward driving posi-
tion. The transaxle will automatically shift
through a 4-gear sequence, providing the
best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing grades, depress the
accelerator fully, at which time the
transaxle will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear.
