Shift Lever Positions
This display is on the instrument
panel. It shows you the position of
the shift lever.
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 accelera-
tion and have the transmission
checked by an authorized Honda
Automatic Transmission (CVT)
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.
