The manual transmission has four or five synchronized forward gears and a reverse gear. When engaging reverse gear, press the clutch pedal and after a few seconds engage the gear.

Four speed gearbox



To engage reverse gear, place the shift lever in neutral and move to the left, push down and forward.

Five-speed gearbox



To engage the reverse gear, set the gear lever to neutral position and, overcoming the resistance of the spring, move to the right and back.
