Honda Accord: Shift Lever Position Indicators
These indicators on the instrument panel show which position the shift lever is in.
Using a paddle shift mode, the gear position indicator shows you the selected gear number.
The ‘‘D’’ indicator comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. If it flashes while driving (in any shift position), it indicates a possible problem in the transmission.
