Automatic Transmission

Your Honda'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.

On cars with Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT):

To operate your Honda's

Continuously Variable Transmission

(CVT), refer to the page

Shift Lever Positions

This display is on the instrument

panel. It shows you the position of
the shift lever.

The "D

" indicator comes on for a

few seconds when you turn the
ignition ON (II). If it flashes while
driving (in any shift position), it
indicates a possible problem in the
transmission. Avoid rapid acceler-
ation and have the transmission
checked by an authorized Honda

dealer as soon as possible.
