Can you accidentally shift into reverse?
I have only owned cars that have a button on the shifter for automatics.
I always had to press the button on the shifter to get from Park to Reverse or from Drive to Reverse.
I don't recall the TL having a button on the shifter.
What and how does the car prevent you from accidentally shifting into reverse?
Thanks!

the car comes w/ a lock on the AT model where you would have to apply the brakes in order to get to the Reverse. there is a way to unlock this so you can get to Reverse w/ out applying the brakes

I just picked up my car and read the manual cover to cover. I don't have it in front of me now, but I think I remember it saying that the car will not go into reverse above a very low speed (a few MPH). I don't know how it does it. How this helps...

Well after posting my question, I figured that Acura wouldn't be stupid enough to let that happen.
Wouldn't it be funny though, if the new Tranny was 100% perfect except for the fact that it didn't lock out the Reverse when the car was moving at speed? LOL... OK maybe not that funny... :toothless

However, not to worry because according to page 182 of the owner's manual:
Your vehicle has a reverse lockout so you cannot accidentally shift to Reverse from neutral or any other driving position when the vehicle speed exceeds 5-6 mph (8-10 kph).

Plus, Acura said: "The new TL benefits from a new 5-position shift gate that simplifies the operation of the transmission. It features a quieter linkage and a speed-controlled reverse lockout solenoid to prevent transmission damage."
The speed range is like what Ron said above.
