Reverse Shifting

To shift into REVERSE, bring the vehicle to a complete

stop. Press the clutch and pause briefly to allow the gear

train to stop rotating. Beginning from the NEUTRAL

position, move the shift lever in one quick, smooth

motion straight across and into the REVERSE area (the

driver will feel a firm "click" as the shifter passes the

"knock-over"). Complete the shift by pulling the shift

lever into REVERSE.

The "knock-over" prevents the driver from accidentally

entering the REVERSE shift area and warns the driver

that they are about to shift the transmission into RE-

VERSE. Due to this feature, a slow shift to REVERSE can

be perceived as a high shift effort.
