Warm-Up Shift

Your vehicle has a computer controlled transaxle

designed to warm up the engine faster when the outside

temperature is 35°F (2°C) or colder. You may notice

that the transaxle will shift at a higher vehicle speed until

the engine is warmed up. This is a normal condition

designed to provide heat to the passenger compartment

and defrost the windows more quickly. See Climate

Control System on page 3-21 for more information.

THIRD (3): This position is also used for normal driving,

but it offers more power and lower fuel economy than

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D).

Here are some times you might choose THIRD (3)

instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D):

• When driving on hilly, winding roads

• When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting

between gears

• When going down a steep hill

SECOND (2): This position gives you more power but

lower fuel economy than THIRD (3). You can use

SECOND (2) on hills. It can help control your speed as

you go down steep mountain roads, but then you

would also want to use your brakes off and on.

Notice: Driving in SECOND (2) for more than

25 miles (40 km) or at speeds over 55 mph (90 km/h)

may damage the transaxle. Also, shifting into

SECOND (2) at speeds above 65 mph (105 km/h) can

cause damage. Drive in THIRD (3) or AUTOMATIC

OVERDRIVE (D) instead of SECOND (2).

Notice: If your vehicle seems to start up rather

slowly, or if it seems not to shift gears as you go

faster, something may be wrong with a transaxle

system sensor. If you drive very far that way, your

vehicle can be damaged. So, if this happens, have

your vehicle serviced right away. Until then, you can

use SECOND (2) when you are driving less than

35 mph (55 km/h) and THIRD (3) for higher speeds.

FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power but

lower fuel economy than SECOND (2). You can use it

on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the

shift lever is put in FIRST (1), the transaxle will not

downshift into ﬁrst gear until the vehicle is going slow

enough.

Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in

one place on a hill using only the accelerator

pedal may damage the transaxle. If you are stuck,

do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill,

use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place.
