Re: White and green drive dots
It depends on the year. One is starting in 2nd gear then shifts to third, the other starts in 1st. And L stays in first.

Re: White and green drive dots
Green dot is the preferred normal drive position, using all 3 speeds with a first gear start. White dot,with second gear start, is for slippery surface starts or smoother, more leisurely starts. Green dot can be considered the D-1 position and the white dot can be considered the D-2 position as used on earlier models of the Cruise O Matic and other three speed automatics like the Borg-Warners.
