5-Speed Manual Transmission, Automatic Transmission
Maximum Speeds
The speeds in this table are the
maximums for the given gears. If you
exceed these speeds, the engine
speed will enter into the tachometer's
red zone. If this occurs, you may feel
the engine cut in and out. This is
caused by a limiter in the engine's
computer controls. The engine will
run normally when you reduce the
RPM below the red zone.
Automatic Transmission
Your Acura's transmission has four
forward speeds, and is electronically
controlled for smoother shifting. It
also has a "lock-up" torque converter
for better fuel economy. You may feel
what seems like another shift when
the converter locks.
Shift Lever Positions
This display is in the tachometer. It
shows you the position of the con-
sole shift lever. The illuminated
number next to the " 3 / M " indicator
shows you the gear you have se-
lected when shifting manually.
The "D" indicator will come on for a
few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to ON (II). If it flashes
at any time (in any shift position), it
indicates a possible problem in the
transmission. Avoid rapid accelera-
tion and have the transmission
checked by an Acura dealer as soon
as possible.
