Chrysler 2008 PT Cruiser - Manual (Page 305)

2.4 LITER TURBO — IF EQUIPPED The neutral position of the gear selector lever is located
between THIRD and FOURTH gear. This is the position
the gear selector lever will return to automatically when
neutral is selected. When shifting into FIFTH gear, be
sure to press the gear selector lever all the way to the
right to avoid accidentally selecting THIRD gear. Also,
use care when selecting FIRST gear to avoid accidentally
shifting the gear selector lever into REVERSE.
When moving the gear selector lever into REVERSE press
the lever to the left until the resistance is overcome. When
the ignition switch is in the ON position, a chime will
sound to confirm that reverse has been selected and the
backup lights will illuminate.
NOTE: Listen for the audible chime to confirm RE-
VERSE gear is properly selected. Never shift the gear
selector lever into REVERSE until the vehicle has come to
a complete stop.
