How to Engage Reverse Gear in Santana?

[LaAdelyn]

To engage reverse gear in a Santana, first press the gear lever downward from the neutral position, then pull it to the left and push it into the position where first gear is located. Below are the precautions for engaging reverse gear in a Santana: 1. Ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into reverse. Shifting into reverse while the car is still moving can cause significant damage to the transmission. It can easily lead to gear grinding. The correct method is to stop the car completely and then shift into reverse for backing up. 2. Always depress the clutch pedal fully when shifting into reverse. If the clutch is not fully depressed, gear grinding may occur, which is the sound of gears scraping against each other. Prolonged grinding can wear down the gear teeth, leading to incomplete gear engagement. To avoid this, make sure the clutch is fully depressed. 3. Maintain a slow speed when reversing and avoid pressing the accelerator. Keep the speed low and refrain from pressing the accelerator hard, especially in automatic transmission vehicles, as this can easily lead to accidents. Therefore, always control the speed when reversing.
