HONDA 2007 Accord Hybrid - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 177)

This position locks
the transmission in second gear. It
does not downshift to first gear
when you come to a stop.
Use second gear:
For starting out on a slippery
surface or in deep snow.
To help reduce wheel spin.
When driving downhill with a
trailer.
If you exceed the maximum speed
for the gear you are in, the engine
speed will enter into the tachometer’s
red zone. If this occurs, you may feel
the engine cut in and out. This is
caused by a limiter in the engine’s
computer controls. The engine will
run normally when you reduce the
rpm below the red zone.
For more power when climbing.
To increase engine braking when
going down steep hills.
To shift from second to
first, press the release button on the
front of the shift lever. This position
locks the transmission in first gear.
By upshifting and downshifting
through 1, 2, D , and D, you can
operate this transmission much like
a manual transmission without a
clutch pedal.
