Forward Movement. To select an F (Forward) gear, driver must push shift lever forward. To
request a higher gear, driver must rotate the shift lever in a forward direction.
Reverse Movement. To select an R (Reverse) gear, shift lever must be pulled toward the driver. To
request a higher gear, driver must rotate the shift lever in a forward direction. To downshift, driver
