Acura 2003 NSX, Owner'S Manual

Page: 154 / 303

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. This display is in the tachometer. It
shows you the position of the
console shift lever. The illuminated
number next to the ‘‘M’’ indicator
shows you the gear you have
selected when selecting 3/M
position.
The ‘‘D’’ indicator comes on for a
few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch ON (II). If it flashes
at any time (in any shift position), it
indicates a possible problem in the
transmission. Avoid rapid
acceleration and have the
transmission checked by an
authorized Acura dealer as soon as
possible.
