pressing the button (1).
The button (1) must be pressed while
moving the shift lever to R (Reverse).

forward gears. The transmission is fully
synchronized in all forward gears so
shifting to either a higher or a lower gear
can be easily accomplished.

Before leaving the driver's seat, always
make sure the shift lever is in 1st gear
when the vehicle is parked on a uphill
and in R (Reverse) on a downhill, set the
parking brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position.

occur if these precautions are not
followed.
To shift to R (Reverse), make sure the
vehicle has completely stopped, and
then move the shift lever to neutral
before moving into R (Reverse).
When you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st gear or R
(Reverse):
1. Put the shift lever in neutral and
release the clutch pedal.
2. Depress the clutch pedal, and then
shift into 1 (first) or R (Reverse) gear.
