Shifting Into Reverse

Reverse (R)

Press the clutch pedal to the floor to disengage clutch.

Shift into reverse (R) by raising the collar below the gearshift knob up, then moving the lever fully to the left, then forward.

Note: You can only move the gearshift lever to reverse (R) by raising the collar below the gearshift knob up before shifting to reverse. This is a lockout feature which protects the transmission from accidentally engaging reverse (R) when intending to select first (1).

If reverse (R) is not fully engaged press the clutch pedal, return the gearshift to the neutral position, then release the clutch pedal. Re-apply the clutch pedal, then lift the gearshift collar and shift into reverse (R) again.

Note: Do not move the transmission selector lever to reverse (R) gear when your vehicle is moving. This can cause damage to the transmission.

Note: Make sure that your vehicle is at a complete stop before you shift into reverse (R). Failure to do so could damage the transmission.
