a complete stop before you shift
into R (Reverse). Failure to do so
may damage the transmission.

neutral position and wait at least
three seconds before shifting into R
(Reverse).
Note: The gearshift lever can only be moved into R (Reverse) by moving
it from left of 3 (Third) and 4 (Fourth) before shifting into R (Reverse).
This is a lockout feature that protects the transmission from accidentally
being shifted into R (Reverse) from 5 (Overdrive).
