Choke

The choke is located below and to the left of the driver's left knee
on the seat support panel (See Figure 9). If on a cool morning the car is
hard to start, simply push in the choke cover with your left hand to activate
the choke. Release the choke after the engine starts and runs smoothly.
Oil tight
-
The DS Gasoline golf car is equipped with a dash mounted oil
light above the steering column {See Figure 10). When the oil light is on,
it indicates low engine
oil.
Oil should be added before further use. The car
should never be driven if the oil light comes on and stays on. If the oil
light goes on and off, you may proceed, but add oil at the first opportunity.
If the oil level is correct and light stays on, have a trained and experienced
mechanic check the car.
