3 (Third)
—
When operating your
vehicle on slippery roads, on a
long descending slope, or on a
road with many sharp curves, you
will want to use engine braking.
At this time, put the shift lever
into this range.
2 (Second)
—
You may choose this
position when traveling down a
moderate grade where you want to
slow down a little without using
the brake itself. Change back to
the “
D
” position to return to
normal driving. With the shift
lever in “2,” the vehicle will start
in first gear and automatically shift
to second gear.
L (First) —
This position may be
selected for maximum braking
down severe grades. Return the
selector lever to the “
D
” position
to resume normal driving. It is
possible to move the lever into
first gear at any speed. However,
the transmission will not actually
shift to first gear until vehicle
speed is below 35 mph (Power
Mode) or 25 mph (Normal Mode).
When starting out in “L,” the
transmission will not upshift.
Starting —
Start the engine with
the lever in the “P” or “N”
position. It will not start in any
other position. If it does, have
your vehicle checked by your
Honda dealer.
Always apply the foot brake
before shifting into any driving
position. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
Do not press the accelerator pedal
while shifting from “
P
” or “
N
” to
any driving position.
Shift Lock —
As a safety measure
for vehicles with an automatic
transmission, you cannot shift
from “
P
” (
Park
) position into any
other position unless the brake
pedal is depressed when the key
switch is in the “
ON
” position or
the engine is running.
The shift lever may not move if
the pushbutton on the shift lever is
pressed before the brake pedal is
depressed. In this case, release
the pushbutton, press the brake
pedal and try again.
If the shift lever won’t move from
the “
P
” position even when these
instructions are followed, perform
the following steps:

1. Check that the parking brake
is fully applied.
2. Turn the key switch to “
ACC
”
position.
3. Move the shift lever from “P”
to “
N
” position, depress the
brake pedal, and start the
engine again.
4. Operate the shift lever.
Have the transmission checked by
your Honda dealer as soon as
possible.
Driving Tips
Before going down a steep or long
grade, reduce speed and shift the
transmission into a lower gear or
range to control the vehicle’s
speed. This will provide engine
braking to help slow the vehicle.
Try not to hold the brake pedal
down too long or too often. This
could cause the brakes to get hot
and not work properly.
Downshifting to a lower gear is
especially important when towing
a trailer in mountainous terrain.
Do not hold the vehicle on a hill
by pressing on the accelerator. Do
not press on the accelerator pedal
and brake pedal at the same time.
Either of these actions can
overheat the automatic
transmission and cause damage.
Always keep your foot off the
accelerator pedal when shifting
from “P” or “
N
” to another gear.
Do not shift to “P” (Park) when
the vehicle is moving; you could
damage the automatic
transmission. Always come to a
complete stop.
Be careful that you do not exceed
the following maximum allowable
speeds when accelerating.

Use this for normal driving on dry
pavement. This position gives
greater economy, quieter ride and
the least drivetrain wear.
“4H” (High Range, 4-Wheel
Drive)
Use this for normal driving on
gravel, wet, icy or snow-covered
roads. This position provides
greater traction than two-wheel
drive. Top speed is limited to 65
mph (105 km/h).
“4L” (Low Range, 4-Wheel
Drive)
Use this for maximum power and
traction. Top speed is limited to

system was shifted out of
sequence. Stop the vehicle, select
4WD with the 4WD-2WD switch,
shift the lever from 4L to 4H, then
select 2WD. Drive in a straight
line to reset the system. If the
indicator continues to blink, see
your Honda dealer.
Do not use 4-wheel drive for
driving on dry pavement. This
causes noise and wear, and taking
tight turns can damage the
transfer case and driveshafts. It
also reduces fuel economy.

the transmission lever knob. The
backup lights turn on when
shifted into the reverse gear.
Driving Tips
Always depress and release the
clutch pedal fully when shifting.
Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving; this can
cause the clutch to slip, resulting
in damage to the clutch.
When you are stopped on an
upgrade, do not hold the vehicle
in place by letting the clutch pedal
up part-way. Use the foot brake or
the parking brake.
Never shift into reverse gear until
the vehicle is completely stopped.
Do not “over-speed” the engine
when shifting down to a lower gear.
The shift lever cannot be shifted
directly from fifth gear into
Reverse. When shifting into
Reverse gear from fifth gear,
depress the clutch pedal and shift
completely into Neutral position,
then shift into Reverse gear.

Shift Speed Chart
The lower gears of the
transmission are used for normal
acceleration of the vehicle to the
desired cruising speed. The
highest gear of the transmission is
used to maintain the desired
speed. The fifth gear is
recommended for use in
maintaining highway cruising
speeds. Use of the fifth gear in
city traffic is not recommended.
The shift speed chart shows the
speeds at which each upshift of
the transmission should be made
to get the best vehicle
performance and fuel economy.
For cruising, choose the highest
gear for that speed (cruising speed
is defined as a relatively constant
speed operation).
The upshift indicator (
U/S
) lights
to show recommended upshift
points. (Refer to “Indicator
Lights.”)
If the engine is “lugging” (the
speed you are traveling at is too
slow for the gear the transmission
is in), downshift to the next lower
gear. You may need to downshift
two or more gear positions to
keep the engine from “lugging” or
to keep the performance at a
satisfactory level.

Operation
To set the parking brake, fully
pull up on the handle between the
seats. To release the parking
brake, pull upward slightly. Then
depress the pushbutton and push
down all the way.
RELEASE
To help remind you, the brake
system warning light is designed
to come on if the parking brake
control is not fully released when
the key is on.
Always pull the parking brake
lever as far up as possible to make
sure it sets fully. If the parking
brake is not fully set, the vehicle
could roll if it is parked on an
incline.
Parking Tips
Never drive away with the
parking brake still set. This may
overheat the rear brakes, reducing
their effectiveness and causing
excessive wear or damage.
Always apply the parking brake
whenever you leave the vehicle,
whether it is equipped with a
manual or automatic transmission.
If your vehicle is equipped with
an automatic transmission, you
should set the parking brake
whenever you leave the driver’s
seat. If the vehicle is parked on a
grade and the shift lever is placed
in “P” (Park) position before the
parking brake is set, the weight
of the vehicle may exert so much
force on the parking mechanism
in the transmission that you may
have difficulty moving the shift
lever out of “P” (Park).
To prevent this, apply the parking
brake
BEFORE
you move the
shift lever to “P” (Park) position.
When preparing to drive away,
move the shift lever out of the
“P” (Park) position
BEFORE
you
release the parking brake. It is
good driving practice to set the
