Where is the Reverse Gear Located?

[McEloise]

The reverse gear in a car is marked with the letter 'R', typically found on top of the gear lever or on the cover. The reverse gear enables the vehicle to move backward, with its direction of travel opposite to that of the forward gears. In a five-speed manual transmission, the reverse gear is usually positioned below the fifth gear, while in a six-speed transmission, it is often set as an independent gear position. This design helps minimize the risk of accidentally engaging reverse while the vehicle is moving forward. The functions of the car's reverse gear are as follows: 1. Engaging the reverse gear allows the car to move backward. 2. Disengaging the reverse gear prevents the car from moving backward. 3. Activating the reverse gear also turns on the reverse lights and activates the reverse radar.
