WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Acura MDX, 2005 Acura MDX, 2004 Acura MDX, and 2003 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The shift lever has eight positions: P, R, N, D5, D4, D3, 2, 1 positions. The shift lever shifts between positions along the gate in the A/T gear position indicator panel. The shift lever can shift out of the P position and into the R position without pressing the shift lever. The shift lock/reverse lock mechanism is an additional shift lever lockout mechanism.
