How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Select Drive for temporary ratio control or S for retained sequential operation.

  2. 02

    Keep both hands positioned safely and pull a paddle to request the next ratio.

  3. 03

    Watch the selected ratio indication and avoid an inappropriate request for speed or engine conditions.

  4. 04

    In Drive, resume steady-speed travel and allow sequential mode to switch off automatically when manual control is no longer needed.

Important limits

  • The transmission can reject a ratio that would exceed safe operating limits.
  • S retains sequential behavior differently from Drive.
  • Do not confuse the paddle system with the six-speed manual transmission.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓Verify the car is a CVT-equipped Integra.
  • ✓Check whether Drive or S is selected when behavior differs from expectation.
  • ✓Return to normal automatic operation and obtain service if ratio indications or shifts are abnormal.
