NOTE
In the event, the start-up key is
ON, the door is closed, and the
parking brake is pulled, a chime
should be heard when you press
accelerator pedal. This will ensure
that you do not drive your Reva
with the parking brake engaged.
The chime will also be heard when
the start-up key is ON/OFF,
parking brake is disengaged and
the door is opened. This is to
ensure that, you do not park your
Reva without engaging the parking
brake.
Never drive your Reva with the
parking brake on. If you do, the
motor will overheat and the
effectiveness of the main brake
will be reduced. This will result in
either shortened brake life or
permanent damage.
