DO NOT touch any drive components unless you have
the correct training and qualifications.
• Before setting the vehicle power system to ON, please
ensure that P or N is selected, the parking brake AND
footbrake is applied.
• When the vehicle power system is READY, use the shift
selection knob to select your required gear.
