Shifter Operation; To Put Your Vehicle In Gear; To Put Your Vehicle In P (Park) - Azure Dynamics Transit Connect Electric Owner's Manual

SHIFTER OPERATION

This vehicle does not have a conventional multi-speed transmission, instead it uses a
single-speed transmission to provide gear reduction and provide differential action for
the front wheels.
Driving the vehicle is the same as driving with an automatic transmission since the
electric traction motor provides sufficient speed range without the need for gear changes.
The shifter functions normally in the Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive positions. The
2nd and 1st gear positions have the same function as Drive, but with progressively
higher levels of regenerative braking.
P (Park)
This position locks the transmission and prevents the front wheels
from turning.

To put your vehicle in gear:

• Start the vehicle.
• Press the brake pedal
• Press the shifter button and move the gearshift lever into the
desired position.

To put your vehicle in P (Park):

• Come to a complete stop With the brake pedal depressed, engage
the parking brake.
• Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in P (Park)
WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully before putting the gearshift
into P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off position and remove the key
whenever you leave your vehicle.
