REVERSE (R): To back up, press the clutch pedal.
After the vehicle stops, shift into REVERSE (R).
Slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal. If it is hard to shift, let the shift
lever return to NEUTRAL and release the clutch
pedal. Then press the clutch again and shift into
REVERSE (R). Do not attempt to shift into the fifth
gear position prior to shifting into REVERSE (R).
Your transmission has a lock out feature which
prevents a fifth gear to reverse gear shift.

Notice: Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your
vehicle is moving forward could damage the
transmission. The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Shift to REVERSE (R) only
after your vehicle is stopped.

Use REVERSE (R), along with the parking brake,
for parking your vehicle.

Up-Shift Light

This light will show you
when to shift to the next
higher gear for best
fuel economy.

When this light comes on, you can shift to the next
higher gear if weather, road and traffic conditions
permit. For the best fuel economy, accelerate
slowly and shift when the light comes on.

While you accelerate, it is normal for the light to
go on and off if you quickly change the position of
the accelerator. Ignore the shift light when you
downshift.

If your vehicle has four-wheel drive and has a
manual transmission, disregard the shift light when
the transfer case is in four-wheel low.

For more information, see Up-Shift Light
(Manual Transmission)
on page 181.

CAUTION:

If you skip a gear when you downshift,
you could lose control of your vehicle.
You could injure yourself or others.
Do not shift down more than one gear
at a time when you downshift.
