Acura 2005 RSX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 142)

With
the shift lever in ‘‘D’’ position, you
can select the Sequential SportShift
Mode to shift gears; much like a
manual transmission, but without a
clutch pedal.
To enter the Sequential SportShift
Mode, move the shift lever further to
the driver’s side. To return to ‘‘D’’,
move the shift lever to the
passenger’s side.
When you move the shift lever from
‘‘D’’ to the Sequential SportShift
Mode, the display shows the
selected gear.
In Sequential SportShift mode, each
time you push forward on the shift
lever, the transmission will shift to a
higher gear. Pull back on the lever to
downshift. The number of the gear
selected is displayed on the
instrument panel (see page
).
When you accelerate away from a
stop, the transmission will be in first
gear. The transmission will not
automatically upshift. Watch the
tachometer and upshift manually
before the engine reaches redline.
The transmission remains in the
selected gear (5, 4, 3, 2, or 1). There
is no automatic downshift when you
push the accelerator pedal to the
floor.
