These indicators on the instrument
panel show which position the shift
lever is in.
The ‘‘D ’’ indicator comes on for a
few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to ON (II). If it
flashes while driving (in any shift
position), it indicates a possible
problem in the transmission.
If the malfunction indicator lamp
come on along with the ‘‘D ’’
indicator, there is a problem in the
automatic transmission control
system. Avoid rapid acceleration and
have the transmission checked by an
Acura dealer as soon as possible.
Before shifting from park to any
position, press firmly on the brake
pedal making sure to keep your foot
off the accelerator pedal. You cannot
