Downshifting
Proper downshifting will improve fuel economy and
prolong engine life.
CAUTION!
If you skip more than one gear while downshifting
or downshift at too high a vehicle speed, you could
damage the engine, transmission, or clutch.
To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift
down to 2nd or 1st gear when descending a steep grade.
When turning a corner or driving up a steep grade,
downshift early so that the engine will not be
overburdened.
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE IF EQUIPPED
NOTE: The Continuously Variable Automatic Transaxle
(CVT) changes ratios in a continuous manner. This may
sometimes feelas if it is slipping, but this is normal and
does not harm anything.
