4. Direction Selector
To reduce the possibility of component damage, the vehicle must be completely stopped before moving the direc-
tion selector.
Located on the seat support panel, this lever permits the selection of either ‘F’ (forward) or ‘R’ (reverse). Vehicle
should be left in ‘F’ when unattended.
5. Accelerator Pedal
Unintentional movement of the accelerator pedal will release the park brake and may cause the
vehicle to move which could result in severe injury or death.
With the key switch ‘ON’, pressing the accelerator pedal starts the engine. When the pedal is released, the engine
will stop. To stop the vehicle more quickly, press the service brake.
If key switch is ‘ON’ and park brake is set, pressing the accelerator inadvertently will release the park brake and will
cause the vehicle to move which could cause severe injury or death.
Pressing the accelerator pedal will release the park brake if it is engaged. This is a feature to assure the vehicle is
not driven with the park brake engaged. Pressing the accelerator pedal is
not the preferred method of releasing the
park brake.
Pressing the lower section of the brake pedal is the preferred method of releasing the park brake to assure the lon-
gest service life of brake components.
6. Brake and Park Brake
The brake pedal incorporates a park brake feature. To engage, push down on the upper section of the pedal until it
locks in place. The park brake will release when the service brake pedal is pressed. Use the lower section of the
brake pedal to operate the service brake system.
7. Horn
The horn is operated by pushing the horn button located on the floor to the left of the brake pedal.
8. Front Seats
The split bench front seat is designed for one occupant on each side of the center console.
9. Hip Restraint - Front
The front hip restraints are designed to help keep the occupants properly positioned in the event of sudden vehicle
position changes.
