KEY/LIGHT SWITCH
Located on the dash panel, this switch enables the basic
electrical system of the vehicle to be turned on and off by
turning the key. To prevent inadvertent operation of the
vehicle when left unattended, the key should be turned to
the ‘OFF’ position and removed (Ref. Fig. 5 on page 3).
If the vehicle is equipped with lights, the key switch has a
position to operate them, indicated by the light icon.
If the vehicle is equipped with manufacturer
installed custom accessories, some accesso-
ries remain operational with the key switch in the ‘OFF’ position.
DIRECTION SELECTOR
To prevent loss of con-
trol, do not move Preci-
sion Drive System (PDS)
vehicle direction selector while the vehicle is in
motion. Moving the selector will result in a sudden
slowing of the vehicle and the beeping of a warning
device.
To reduce the possibility of component
damage, the vehicle must be complete-
ly stopped before moving the direction selector.
On PDS models, if the direction selector is shifted before the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, a warning beeper will activate.
Located on the seat support panel or the dash panel, this
lever or switch permits the selection of either ‘F’ (for-
ward), ‘R’ (reverse) or neutral (the position between for-
ward and reverse). Vehicle should be left in neutral when
unattended (Ref. Fig. 6 on page 3).
STATE OF CHARGE METER
Located in the dash, the state of charge meter indicates
the amount of usable power in the batteries (Ref. Fig. 5
on page 3).
HOUR METER
The hour meter indicates total hours of operation.
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’, depressing the accelerator
pedal starts the motor. When the pedal is released, the
motor will stop (Ref. Fig. 7 on page 3). To stop the vehi-
cle more quickly, depress the service brake.
If key switch is ‘ON’ and park brake is set, depressing the
accelerator inadvertently will release the park brake and
will cause the vehicle to move which could cause severe
injury or death.
