Question

I have 08 Accord Sedan is it safe while driving to shift from D3 to D?

Answer 1

as long as your not going over 80 mph

Answer 2

Yes, that is a safe shift.

"D" allows your transmission to go into "overdrive" as needed for fuel economy. "D3" keeps it in it's third gear and will not allow it to shift to overdrive at all.

"D3" would be a good choice for use when descending a steep hill where you would otherwise need to ride the brakes to keep your speed under control because the engine can slow the car.

Answer 3

Yes it is safe to do but you should just leave it in overdrive for the best gas mileage unless you plan on pulling a trailer up a hill.............................
