Acura Integra 1987 Manual page 56

The automatic transmission shift lever has a locking mechanism to
prevent accidental shifting into Reverse (R), Park (P) or 2nd (2).
Push in the button on the left side of the shift handle to unlock the
mechanism before shifting into 2nd, Reverse or Park, or out of
Park.
Operating Tips
For smoother operation, apply the brakes when shifting from
Neutral or Park to a forward or reverse gear.
When parking: bring the car to a stop with the foot brake, hold
the brake on and shift into Park, set the hand brake and then turn
off the engine.
CAUTION:
* Shift into P only after the car has come to a complete stop.
• Shift into or out of R only after the car has come to a complete
stop.
• Do not "rev-up" the engine when the brake is on and the shift
lever is in D4, D3, 2 or R.
* When stopped on a hill, use the brakes to hold your position, not
the accelerator pedal.
• Do not shift from N or P into D4, D3, 2 or R when the engine is
above idle speed.
* Do not rest your hand on the shift lever or push the lock-out but­
ton while driving.
