Reverse Operation
(AutoDrive Transmission)

caution
The reverse speed limit feature limits reverse operation to 10 MPH (16 km/h). Do not attempt to exceed this speed. If the engine seems to “cut out”, vehicle speed is exceeding the limit. Reduce throttle and slow down. Exceeding the limit could result in vehicle instability.
Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:
  1. Brake to a complete stop.
  2. When fully stopped, press the reverse (R) button on the center console.
  3. Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle, and always inspect left and right fields of vision before operating in reverse. If your vehicle is equipped with a back-up camera, view the display screen for additional assistance as needed while operating in reverse. See the Back-Up Camera section for details.
  4. When it’s safe to proceed, release the brake pedal and apply throttle slowly.
    NOTICE

    Never apply hard throttle while operating in reverse.
  5. Always observe your path of travel and be alert to traffic, pedestrians and obstacles at all sides of the vehicle while operating in reverse.
