Check Automatic
Transmission Indicator
The indicator light comes on for a
few seconds when the ignition
switch is turned to the “
ON”
position.
If the light flashes, it means the
computer controlling the
transmission has found a problem.
Have the automatic transmission
checked by your Honda dealer as
soon as possible. You can safely
drive the vehicle while the light is
flashing, but the computer may
put the transmission into its
“backup mode.”
In the backup mode, the
transmission may not shift
automatically. If the transmission
does not shift automatically, you
must move the shift lever to
change gears. This chart shows
the shift lever position and the
gear range that will result.
“L” position First gear
“2” position Third gear
“3” position Fourth gear
“
D” position Fourth gear
When the transmission is in
backup mode and does not shift
automatically, you should move
the selector lever to the
appropriate position for your
driving needs, as follows:
Select “
3” or “D” for high speed
driving (over 50 mph, 80 km/h).
Select “2” for moderate speed
driving (between 15 mph [25
km/h] and 50 mph [80 km/h]).
Select “L” when starting from a
stop, driving up or down a steep
hill, or for engine braking when
towing a trailer downhill.
Do not exceed 65 mph (45 mph if
towing a trailer).
