In an American context, the D3 indicator on your Honda CR-V signifies a setting where the vehicle operates without engaging overdrive, providing more torque for challenging road conditions like bad weather. If the D3 light flashes while driving at high speeds, it may indicate an issue with the overdrive gear. To address this, use an OBD II scanner to check for codes and have a Honda mechanic inspect the vehicle.

I own a 2010 Honda CR-V and reside in Wisconsin, where we experience harsh weather conditions. The D-3 button on my car is a lifesaver when driving on icy roads. If you live in a similar climate and aren't utilizing the D-3 feature, you're missing out. I find that keeping my speed under 40 mph works best, especially when starting from a full stop at intersections. It allows me to maneuver smoothly in the snow while others struggle. Before purchasing a new CR-V, I wanted to confirm that the newer models still include this functionality on the shifter.
