Braking - Acura NSX Owner's Manual

DRIVING
D (Drive)
• Normal driving (gears change between 1st and 9th automatically)
• Temporarily driving in the sequential mode
M (Manual)
• Driving in the sequential mode
In freezing or sub-freezing conditions, the electronic gear selector response may
be slow. Always apply the brake pedal before shifting into Park (P), and confirm
that (P) is shown on the gear position indicator before releasing the brake.
The vehicle can roll away if left unattended without confirming that Park (P) is
engaged. Always keep your foot on the brake pedal until you have confirmed
that (P) is shown on the gear position indicator.
When you change from D to R and vice versa, or want to change to Park (P),
come to a complete stop and keep the brake pedal applied. Operating the gear
buttons before the vehicle has come to a complete standstill can damage the
transmission.
