Acura 2008 TSX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 257)

When you move the shift lever from
‘‘D’’ to ‘‘M’’ position, the display
shows the selected gear.
In Sequential SportShift mode, each
time you push forward on the shift
lever, the transmission shifts to a
higher gear. Pull back on the lever to
downshift. The number of the gear
selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
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.
This position is similar
to D, except only the first three
gears are selected instead of all five.
Use D when towing a trailer in hilly
terrain, or to provide engine braking
when going down a steep hill. D can
also keep the transmission from
cycling between third and fourth
gears in stop-and-go driving.
