The key switch is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column
(Figure 3, Page 7)
. It has two posi-
tions, OFF and ON, which are clearly labeled.
See following NOTE.
FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL
The Forward/Reverse handle is located on the seat support panel, below and to the right of the driver’s right
knee
(Figure 4, Page 7)
. The handle has three distinct positions:
F
(FORWARD),
N
(NEUTRAL), and
R
(REVERSE). Rotate the handle towards the driver,
F
(FORWARD), to operate the vehicle in the forward
direction, or towards the passenger,
R
(REVERSE), to operate the vehicle in reverse. When the handle is in
the straight up, or
N
(NEUTRAL) position, the vehicle will not operate. The engine will stop if it is shifted to
this position during operation. DS vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse. When the vehicle is in
reverse, the reverse warning buzzer will sound.
