Shifting From REVERSE to NEUTRAL • Pull the shift lever rearward to the first detent and release. "N" will be highlighted in the EVIC. • To shift back into REVERSE from NEUTRAL, firmly depress the brake pedal, press the lock button on the shift lever, then push the shift lever forward to the first detent and release.
