Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal is located on the right side of the floor
beneath the dash panel. Depressing the accelerator pedal will
move the UV in the direction selected on the gearshift. As the
pedal is depressed, speed will increase to the maximum selected
range. Releasing the pedal reduces the speed, but does not stop
the UV. The brake must be applied to stop UV.
Brake Pedal
The brake pedal is located on the left side of the floor beneath
the dash panel. Remove foot from accelerator pedal and apply
pressure to the brake pedal evenly until UV slows down and
stops.
Parking Brake Lever
The parking lever is located to the left of the driver's seat. It holds
the brake in the engaged position for parking.
To engage the parking lever, pull up on the parking brake lever,
and the parking brake light on the dash will come ON to indicate
the parking brake is engaged.
To release parking brake, push down on brake pedal, depress
button on top of parking brake lever, and move lever to OFF
position.
NOTE: The engine will stall when the parking brake is engaged
and the UV is not in NEUTRAL.
Choke Knob (Air-Cooled, Gas Models Only)
The choke knob is located to the left of the driver's seat. The
choke is used when starting a cold engine. It enriches the fuel
mixture for cold weather starting.
Shift Lever
The shift lever is located in the center console between the
seats. The 4x4 model has four positions: FORWARD, LOW,
NEUTRAL, and REVERSE. The 4x2 model has three positions:
FORWARD, NEUTRAL, and REVERSE. The brake pedal must
be depressed and the UV must not be in motion when
moving the shift lever.
NOTE: To shift into LOW, move the shift lever from
NEUTRAL towards the passenger seat and then forward.
IMPORTANT: Never force the shift lever. Doing so may
result in serious damage to the UV's transmission.
Differential Lock Lever
The differential lock lever is located in the center console
between the seats. When engaged, the differential lever locks
the rear differential so both rear wheels will pull equally.
Check Engine Light (EFI Models Only)
The check engine light (green) is located on the dash panel on
the left side of the warning light cluster. When lit, take UV to

key into the ignition switch and turn clockwise to the START
position. Release the key into the RUN position once engine has
fired.

Warning Light Cluster
The warning light cluster is located in the middle of the dash
panel. There are four warning lights: battery light, parking brake
light, engine oil pressure light, and low fuel light. See Figure 3-2.
The engine oil pressure light activates when engine has low oil
pressure. The battery light will indicate that the battery is low on
power. The low fuel light activates when fuel is low in the tank.
The parking light indicates that the parking brake is engaged.

Hour Meter
The hour meter is located in the center of the warning light
cluster. It reads the elapsed time when key is in the Run or
Accessory position. See Figure 3-2.
NOTE: Every 50 hours a "change oil" message will flash on
the display for two minutes every time the UV is started. This
message will repeat for the first two minutes after each 50 hour
interval. The oil pressure indicator light will also flash when
this display is active. Before the interval expires, change the
crankcase oil as instructed in the Engine Operator's Manual.
