    Hi all, 2000 V6 Accord sedan with no manual here; so what is D3 used for
    as opposed to D4?

    Thanks,

    Jeff

  2. D³ is primarily used when you drive over 100mph and want 50mpg.

    D3 is holds the tranny in third gear. D4 allows the use of overdrive.

    ====================
    Jeff,

    I use D3 when I don't want the tranny to shift up, like when climbing a
    long hill in the city, or when descending the same hill. Also provides
    some engine braking when on bad ice, almost like driving with a manual
    transmission.

    Use D3 and D2 when snow and ice make it driving up and down hills in the
    winter an iffy propersiton.
