Reverse
Note: The gearshift lever can only be moved to R (Reverse) by pushing
the knob down before shifting to reverse. This is a lockout feature which
protects the transmission from accidentally engaging R (Reverse) when
intending to select 1 (First).
1. Make sure that your vehicle is at a complete stop before you shift into
R (Reverse). Failure to do so may damage the transmission.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor to disengage clutch.
3. Shift into R (Reverse) by pushing
the gearshift knob down, then
moving the lever fully to the left,
then forward.
Note: Do not press down on the shifter during any operation other than
shifting to R (Reverse), as you may be inhibited from selecting your
desired gear.
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.
