Drive the vehicle in "D". The D selection is the overdrive. You can consider the overdrive as a fourth gear. The D3 is simply third gear, and if driven in D3, the transmission will never shift into overdrive when needed.

Depending on your situation ( If In a stop and go traffic situation ) Sure you can used D3, But as stated above D3 is only 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. So if you were driving on the Highway in D3, You would deffinetly notice the car Rpms Being High and the car Not really Accelerating well. Which is where D Would have the 4th gear

What gear can I used for highway D3 or D4
use d4. d4 is for normal driving. d3 is to down shift the transmission in case you wanna pass. use d3 only if you want to down shift because if you leave your car in d3 on the highway, it doesnt allow the 4th gear to engage, causing your engine to run at higher revs, not only wasting more gas but also making your engines life last less. hope this helps. if you need more help, let me know. goodluck

It's likely that a head gasket is blown, causing fluid to go out of the exhaust pipe especially if you see none on the ground. You might smell a 'sweet' antifreeze/water smell out of the pipe at idle.

Transmission sounds like its slippping is D4 going out and is it safe to drive in D3
should be safe to drive in d3, you just wont get very good gas mileage on the highway and you'll be running higher rpm at highway speeds

How to Drive Auto Transmition 30 km Speed D3 Or D4
some people will tell you that d3 is for town and d4 for the open road,that is totally wrong.D3 is for engine braking when going down a mountain(saves the engine/gearbox doing too many changes)so leave it in D4 for everyday use.....also saves you fuel..

Is it better to go into D3 wihile car is moving or stopped?
Well every gear has its limitations. I am not sure what the mph ranges for each gear are, but i've gotten to 60+ mph in 3rd gear. The only thing about driving on the freeway in 3rd gear is that it is alot less efficient mileage wise. Your turning more RPMS while on the freeway in 3rd gear so you burn up alot more gas.
Driving in D3 is driving in 3rd gear. It could burn up the tranny but it depends on the vehicle itself. It is not really made to do highways speeds in 3rd gear. It should be in 4th or 5th (OD)
