Reverse Shifting

To shift into REVERSE (R), bring the vehicle to a com-

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

gear trainto stop rotating. Beginningfromthe NEUTRAL

(N) position, move the shift lever in one quick smooth

motion straight across and into the REVERSE (R) 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 (R).

The “knock-over” prevents the driver from accidentally

entering the REVERSE (R) shift area and warns the driver

that they are about to shift the transmission into RE-

VERSE (R). Due to this feature, a slow shift to REVERSE

(R) can be perceived as a high shift effort.

To shift out of REVERSE bring the vehicle to a complete

stop and press the clutch. Shifting out of REVERSE prior

to a complete stop may cause high shift effort.
