Note: The gearshift lever can only be
moved to reverse (R) by raising the collar
below the gearshift knob up before shifting
to reverse. This is a lockout feature which
protects the transmission from accidentally
engaging reverse (R) when intending to
select first (1).

If reverse (R) 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 raise
the collar and shift to reverse (R) again.

WARNINGS

Always set the parking brake fully
and make sure the gearshift is
latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition

accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously

for more than three seconds will limit

maintaining speed in traffic and could lead
to serious injury.
