If you are still unable to shift to
reverse, apply the parking brake,
and turn the ignition key to the
ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK (0)
position.
The manual transmission has
lockout so you cannot accidentally
shift from fifth to reverse instead of
sixth while the vehicle is moving. If
you cannot shift to reverse when the
vehicle is stopped:
With the clutch pedal pressed,
move the shift lever to the first/
second gear side of the neutral
gate, then shift to reverse.
If you exceed the maximum speed
for the gear you are in, the engine
speed will enter into the tachometer’s
red zone. If this occurs, you may feel
the engine cut in and out. This is
caused by a limiter in the engine’s
computer controls. The engine will
run normally when you reduce the
rpm below the red zone.
If you need to use this procedure to
shift to reverse, your vehicle may be
developing a problem. Have the
vehicle checked by your dealer.
With the clutch pedal still pressed,
start the engine.
Press the clutch pedal, and shift to
reverse.
The engine speed limiter only works
when you upshift; engine speed is
not limited during downshifts.
Before downshifting, make sure the
engine will not go into the
tachometer’s red zone.
