Where is the reverse gear located in a manual transmission?

[LaAdelyn]

The position of the reverse gear in manual transmissions varies significantly across different car models. Normally, the reverse gear is located at the bottom right corner of the gear shift pattern. However, there are exceptions, such as the Santana and Buick models, where the reverse gear is positioned at the bottom left corner. Precautions when using the reverse gear: Due to differences in height, the rearview mirror should be adjusted appropriately to avoid obstructed visibility when looking directly backward. This is especially important when driving someone else's car or a company vehicle. Always ensure the rearview mirror is properly adjusted to maintain clear visibility of the rear. Maintain a safe distance: When reversing, in addition to checking the interior rearview mirror, it's crucial to monitor both sides to prevent the vehicle from colliding with other cars or objects. Keep in mind that rearview mirrors have blind spots, so it's necessary to frequently check the left and right mirrors from multiple angles to ensure there are no obstacles on either side and to maintain a safe distance from them. This requires adjusting the rearview mirrors according to individual height and line of sight.
