In such a gearbox it simply means 'Drive'. Automatic gearboxes are less efficient, fuel wise, than manual gearboxes. They were introduced as a measure for people with less mechanical knowledge and skill to be able to 'drive'.

What is the use of a manu button on the automatic transmission?

its like triptronic in an automatic car, click the 'Manu' button in and the move the gear stick down to 'L', L locks the car in first gear then when you want to change gear move the gear stick to the number '2' for 2nd gear and then change it once again the the letter 'D' for 3rd gear .. so revs like a Manuel but without the clutch and only 3 gears to changes through its more for racing and fuel efficiency that's what i have been reading up anyway, haven't actually tried this for myself


Which is the correct drive gear for city and highway driving on a 1990 Honda Accord EX?

whaat? well if its automatic, then just put it in d or d4 and it will be automatic. Since it is an old car you don't want to have the engine go at high rpm's usually above 3500. So on the highway keep it at the lowest gear, 5th for a stick. and shift the gear when you hit 3000 rpm's.

Do all automatic cars have a tendency to 'lurch'?

Automatic transmission cars also have what is called "creep" while the engine is running and the selector is in "D" for drive or another gear, the car will creep along even if your foot is not on the accelerator. Be prepared for that, keep your foot on the brake when shifting from park/neutral into a driving gear or it will lurch a little. Keep your foot on the brake at traffic lights etc.
