Note: The gearshift lever can only be
moved to R (Reverse) 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 R (Reverse) when intending to
select 1 (First).
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 raise
the collar and shift to R (Reverse) again.
