R (Reverse)
This position is for backing the vehicle.
To shift from the “N” to “R” position, stop the vehicle completely then move the lever to the “R” position.
When the ignition switch has been turned to the “LOCK” position, movement of the select lever from the “N” position to the “R” position is possible for a limited time period by depressing the brake pedal, and then it becomes impossible. For details, refer to “Shift lock function”.
