These indicators on the instrument
panel show which position the shift
lever is in. 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 to 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 Acura
dealer as soon as possible.
The shift lever on the steering
column’s right pod allows you to
shift up and down manually when
the console shift lever is in the
‘‘3/M’’ position.
To shift from any position, press
firmly on the brake pedal and press
the release button on the side of the
shift lever. You cannot shift out of
Park when the ignition switch is in
LOCK (0) or ACCESSORY (I).
