the following conditions:

the gear in R (Reverse), D (Drive) or N
(Neutral).
- When the driver’s door is open while
the READY indicator on, the gear in R
(Reverse), D (Drive) or N (Neutral), and
the vehicle at a standstill.

To shift the gear to R (Rear), rotate the
rotary gear shift dial to R (Reverse) while
depressing the brake pedal.
When the vehicle is stopped in the
R (Reverse) position, if you open the
driver’s door, the gear will automatically
shift to P (Park).
However, if the vehicle is in motion, the
gear may not automatically shift to P
(Park) to prevent reduction gear damage.
The direction of the rotary gear shift dial
is the same as that of the wheel.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you
may damage the reduction gear if you
shift into R (Reverse) while the vehicle is
in motion.
