Reverse

Make sure that your vehicle is at a complete stop before you shift
into R (Reverse). Failure to do so may damage the transmission.

1. Hold the clutch pedal down and

move the gearshift lever into
the neutral position.

2. From the neutral position, move the gearshift lever all the way to the

right, then move it down into the R (Reverse) position.

Note:

The gearshift lever can only be moved into R (Reverse) by moving

it from left of 3 (Third) and 4 (Fourth) before shifting into R (Reverse).
This is a lockout feature that protects the transmission from accidentally
being shifted into R (Reverse) from 5 (Fifth).

If R (Reverse) is not fully engaged, press the clutch pedal down and
return the gearshift to the neutral position. Release the clutch pedal for
a moment, then press it down and shift to R (Reverse) again.

Parking your vehicle

1. Apply the brake and shift into the neutral position.

2. Fully apply the parking brake, then shift into 1 (First).

3. Turn the ignition off.
