Ford 2002 Think - Driving; Starting and Operating Modes

STARTING
Operating positions
The drive mode
selector switch
serves two
functions. It
powers up the
electric motor
by activating
the battery
pack to connect
the power to
the drivetrain
system. It also functions as a gear selector by
placing the drive mode selector switch key in one of
four modes: R (Reverse),
(OFF), T (Turf), and
D (Drive).
Never press the accelerator while turning
the drive mode selector switch key
from
(OFF) to one of the driving modes.
Always firmly apply the brake pedal until ready to
drive the vehicle in the selected mode. In addition,
follow the safety steps in Important safety
precautions in this chapter.
1. R (Reverse mode)
The R (Reverse) mode is used to maneuver your
vehicle out of parking spots or rough terrain
where you cannot proceed forward. A reverse
warning will sound to alarm the driver that the
vehicle will be backing up. The maximum speed in
R (Reverse) is 13 km/h (8 mph).
Extra care should be used to visually check
behind the vehicle before engaging R
(Reverse) mode. Do not rely on your mirrors alone
as there may be blind spots, depending on how
you have the mirrors adjusted.
