HONDA 2003 CR-V - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 211)

Use this position for
your normal driving. The transmis-
sion automatically selects a suitable
gear for your speed and acceleration.
You may notice the transmission
shifting up at higher speeds when
the engine is cold. This helps the
engine warm up faster.
For faster acceleration, you can get
the transmission to automatically
downshift by pushing the accelerator
pedal to the floor. The transmission
will shift down one or two gears,
depending on your speed.
Pressing the O/D switch again turns
the Over-drive mode back on.
Over-drive can be turned on or off
only when the ignition switch is ON
(II) and the shift lever is in the D
position. Over-drive mode turns on
every time you start the engine, even
if you turned it off the last time you
drove the vehicle. The Over-drive (O/D) is on
whenever you turn the ignition ON
(II). You can turn it off by pressing
the O/D switch on the edge of the
shift lever. The O/D OFF indicator
on the instrument panel next to the
shift lever position indicator will
come on.
