DRIVE (D):

This position is for normal driving. It

provides the best fuel economy for your vehicle. If
you need more power for passing, and you are:

Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push
your accelerator pedal about halfway down.

Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push
the accelerator all the way down.

The vehicle will shift down to the next gear
and have more power.

Downshifting the transaxle in slippery road
conditions could result in skidding, see Skidding
under

Loss of Control on page 362

Notice:

If your vehicle seems to start up

rather slowly or not shift gears when you go
faster, and you continue to drive your vehicle
that way, you could damage the transaxle.
Have your vehicle serviced right away. You can
drive in SECOND (2) when you are driving
less than 35 mph (55 km/h) and DRIVE (D) for
higher speeds until then.

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 193

and

Dual Climate

Control System on page 197

for more information.

THIRD (3):

This position is also used for normal

driving. It reduces vehicle speed more than
DRIVE (D) without using your brakes. You might
choose THIRD (3) instead of DRIVE (D) when
driving on hilly, winding roads, when towing
a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears
and when going down a steep hill.
