REVERSE OPERATION
NOTICE
Do not attempt to shift into reverse gear when the vehicle is moving.
Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:
1. Brake to a complete stop. When nearly stopped, disengage the clutch.
2. When fully stopped, shift to neutral.
3. Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle, and always inspect
left and right fields of vision before operating in reverse. If your vehicle is
equipped with a back-up camera, view the display screen for additional
assistance as needed while operating in reverse. See page 32.
4. When it’s safe to proceed, shift into reverse gear.
5. Release the brake pedal.
6. In one smooth motion, simultaneously release the clutch pedal while slowly
depressing the throttle pedal. As the clutch begins to engage, the vehicle will
move rearward.
CAUTION
The reverse speed limit feature limits reverse operation to 10 MPH (16 km/h).
Do not attempt to exceed this speed. If the engine seems to “cut out”, vehicle
speed is exceeding the limit. Reduce throttle and slow down. Exceeding the
limit could result in vehicle instability.
7. Never apply hard throttle while operating in reverse.
8. Always observe your path of travel and be alert to traffic, pedestrians and
obstacles at all sides of the vehicle while operating in reverse.
USING CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control switches are located on the turn signal lever. Make sure you
read this section and understand how to safely operate this feature before using
the cruise control.
WARNING
Improper operation of cruise control could cause loss of control and result in
serious injury or death. Follow all cruise operation procedures carefully. Never
use cruise control when roads are wet or slippery. Do not use cruise control
when driving in heavy or congested traffic.
