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" provides a resistance to the driver

from accidentally entering the REVERSE shift area and

Manual Transmission Downshift Speeds in MPH (KM/H)

warns the driver that they are about to shift the trans-

mission into REVERSE. Due to this feature, a slow shift to

REVERSE can be perceived as a high shift effort.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED

Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-

ing precautions are not observed:

• Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after

the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

• Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL,

or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed.
