Reverse gear inhibitor
Engage reverse gear when the car is stationary
or at very low speeds!
To put the car in reverse, the gear lever must
first be moved to neutral (between 3rd and 4th
gear). Thus, reverse cannot be directly selected
from 5th gear due to the reverse gear inhibitor.
Gear positions, 6-speed
Use the higher gears as often as possible to
achieve the best possible fuel economy.
