FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL
DS V-Glide Electric and DS PowerDrive System 48
The Forward/Reverse (F&R) handle is located on the seat support panel, below and to the right of the
driver's right knee (Figure 5, Page 14). The F&R handle has three distinct positions: F (FORWARD), R
(REVERSE), and N (NEUTRAL). Rotate the handle to the F (FORWARD) position, towards the driver, to
operate the vehicle in the forward direction. Rotate the handle to the R (REVERSE) position, towards the
passenger, to operate the vehicle in the reverse direction. When the F&R handle is in the straight-up, N
(NEUTRAL) position, the vehicle will not operate. DS vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse. The
reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is in REVERSE.

DS PowerDrive Plus
The Forward/Reverse (F&R) rocker switch is located in the same place as the Forward/Reverse handle on all
other DS models; on the seat support panel below and to the right of the driver's right knee. The F (FORWARD)
and R (REVERSE) positions are clearly marked on the F&R rocker switch. Push down the F (FORWARD) side
of the switch to operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or push down the R (REVERSE) side of the switch
to operate the vehicle in reverse. When the F&R rocker switch is positioned in NEUTRAL, with neither side
down, the vehicle will not operate if the accelerator pedal is depressed (Figure 6, Page 14). The reverse
buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse switch is in REVERSE.
