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 acci-
dentally entering the REVERSE shift area and
warns the driver that they are about to shift the
transmission into REVERSE. Due to this fea-
ture, a slow shift to REVERSE can be perceived
as a high shift effort.

• Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop and

WARNING!
• Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with
all vehicles, you should never exit a ve-
hicle while the engine is running. Before
exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking
brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
and remove the ignition key. Once the key
is removed, the shift lever is locked in
PARK, securing the vehicle against un-
wanted movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the ignition key and lock your vehicle.
