5-14 Switches and controls
<Manual transmission vehicles>
CAUTION
• To prevent transmission damage, come to a
complete stop before shifting from any for-
ward gear into reverse, or vice versa.
• When the shift lever is in neutral, do not keep
your hand on the lever. Hand pressure is
transmitted to the gears and can damage the
transmission.
• When shifting, depress the clutch pedal fully
before operating the shift lever. Shifting with
the clutch partly engaged can damage the
transmission.
• The gear pattern is inscribed on the top surface
of the shift lever.
• When the shift lever is placed in reverse (R), the
backup lights illuminate. At the same time, the
backup buzzer sounds.

WARNING
When backing up, always double check to
make sure that there is nothing in your path.
If there are pedestrians in the area, or haz-
ards are present, use a backing guide. This
could prevent an injury accident and loss of
life.
