    Default 700 signature series RIO manual override

    Looks like they added a separate button left of the steering wheel. Slim yellow push button that is uncomfortably narrow.

    The extra button is in addition to the "old" way of mowing in reverse (you can still pull up on the PTO engage switch).

    Good to know. I'm not one for seat switches and RIO crap myself. My next machine will be the first with RIO but for some reason the lttle switch will fall out of adjustment and it wil fail to activate. I'd still prefer the old yellow knob on teh LH side for PTO engage.
