Acura 2013 MDX - Manual (Page 454)

●
You press one of the two paddle
shifters while another paddle
shifter is being pressed.
● You are trying to downshift from
second to first with the accelerator
pedal off. This will only work when
the accelerator pedal is applied
deeply.
The transmission downshifts to first
gear and returns to drive mode (D)
when the vehicle comes to a
complete stop and the vehicle speed
is about 6 mph (9 km/h).
If there is a problem in the
transmission while you are driving
with the paddle shifters, the D
indicator flashes, the D-paddle
shift mode is canceled, and the
transmission returns to drive
mode (D).
Using the Paddle Shifters in the S
position (Sequential Shift Mode)
With the shift lever in the S
position, you can select the
sequential shift mode to shift gears;
much like a manual transmission
using the paddle shifters, but
without a clutch pedal.
To enter the sequential shift mode,
press the release button on the front
of the shift lever, move the lever to
the S position, then pull either paddle
shifter. To cancel the sequential shift
mode and return to the ordinary
automatic transmission, move the
shift lever from S position. When
moving the shift lever, be careful not
to operate incorrectly. While you are
driving in the sequential shift mode,
the transmission will not
automatically return to ordinary
automatic transmission.
When you move the shift lever
from
‘‘D’’ to ‘‘S’’ position and pull
either paddle shifter, the gear
position indicator displays the
selected gear number.
Shifting between first and second
gears may occur automatically.
Downshifting from second to first
with the accelerator pedal off is
not allowed.
