Automatic Transmission

Your Acura's transmission has five
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.

Shift Lever Position Indicator

This indicator in the tachometer

shows which position the shift lever
is in. The illuminated number next to
the "D

5

" indicator shows you the

gear you have selected in the
Sequential SportShift mode.

The "D

5

" indicator comes on for a

few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch ON (II). If it flashes
while driving (in any shift position),
it indicates a possible problem in the

transmission. Avoid rapid
acceleration and have the
transmission checked by an
authorized Acura dealer as soon as
possible.
