Before engaging reverse gear, after the vehicle has come to a complete stop, place the gear lever in neutral for 3 seconds. Then engage reverse gear.
To prevent premature wear of the manual transmission, do not keep your hand on the gear lever while driving. Do not downshift if the engine speed is over 5000 rpm.
