HONDA 2003 Civic Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 182)

Honda’s Continuously Variable
automatic transmission’s unique
design provides a smooth, constant
flow of power. It is electronically
controlled for more precise operation
and better fuel economy.
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 to 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 trans-
mission checked by an authorized
Honda dealer as soon as possible. The shift lever has six positions. It
must be in Park or Neutral to start
the engine. When you are stopped in
D, S, L, N or R, press firmly on the
brake pedal and keep your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
