1. Brake pedal
When released, the brake pedal should
return to its original position.
Braking effect is proportional to the
force applied on the pedal.
NOTE: As on other wheeled vehicles,
the vehicle weight is transferred to the
front wheels when braking. To obtain
greater stopping efficiency, the brake
system distributes more braking force
to the front wheels. This will affect
vehicle handling and steering control
when braking vigorously. Take it into
account when braking.

5) Shift Lever

The shift lever is located on the RH side
of the vehicle near steering column.
