Should you drive in D3 or D4?
Press on the brake pedal when you are moving the shift lever from Neutral to another gear. Drive (D4) — Use this position for your normal driving.

When does the Honda Accord shift from first to second gear?
Transmission flares between 1st and 2nd. occasionally between 2nd and 3rd as well.

Sometimes it won’t shift at all and the ‘check engine’ light comes on and the D4 light starts blinking.
