Automatic Transmission

Your Acura's transmission has four
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 on the instrument

panel shows which position the shift
lever is in.

The "D

" 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 acceler-
ation and have the transmission
checked by an authorized Acura

dealer as soon as possible.
