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. 5 on page 3).
