Vehicles equipped with 6M/T

Pull up the pull-ring (A), then move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position with the pullring still pulled.

Caution

► Do not pull up the pull-ring (A) when moving the gearshift lever to any position other than the “R” (Reverse) position. If you always pulled up the pull-ring (A) when moving the gearshift lever, you could unintentionally move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position and cause an accident and/or a transmission fault.

The pull-ring will return to its original position when you return the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position.
