Reverse
Make sure that your vehicle is at a complete stop before you shift
into R (Reverse). Failure to do so may damage the transaxle.
Put the gearshift lever into the
neutral position and wait at least
three seconds before shifting into R
(Reverse).
Note: You can shift into R (Reverse) only by moving the gearshift lever
from left of 3 (Third) and 4 (Fourth) gears before you shift into R
(Reverse). This is a special lockout feature which prevents you from
shifting into R (Reverse) when you downshift from 5 (Fifth).
