Driving with an automatic overdrive transaxle

Your automatic overdrive transaxle
provides fully automatic operation in
either

(Overdrive) or D (Drive).

Driving with the gearshift lever
in

(Overdrive) gives the best

fuel economy for normal driving
conditions. For manual control, start
in 1 (First) and then shift manually.

If your vehicle is equipped with a
console-mounted gearshift lever, you
must press the thumb button on the
side of the gearshift lever to move
the gearshift lever from P (Park).

To put your vehicle in gear, start the
engine, depress the brake pedal,
then move the gearshift lever out of
P (Park).

Hold the brake pedal down while you move the gearshift lever
from P (Park) to another position. If you do not hold the brake

pedal down, your vehicle may move unexpectedly and injure someone.
