cause resistance to rolling (moving at no more than 1 to 3 mph) (1.5 or 4.8 km/h) with the Forward/
Reverse switch in any position. When zero speed detect motor braking is engaged, the reverse buzzer
should emit a distinct pattern of beeps.
• “Pedal Up” Motor Braking (adjustable on IQ System vehicles):
Accelerate the vehicle to full speed
and then release the accelerator pedal. Motor braking should quickly and smoothly slow the vehicle to
approximately 11 mph (17.7 km/h). Motor braking will disengage when vehicle slows to 11 mph (17.7
km/h). This feature is adjustable for IQ System vehicles only. Contact your local Club Car dealer/distrib-
utor to inquire about this adjustable feature.
• “Pedal Down” Motor Braking:
Accelerate down an incline with the accelerator pedal pressed. When
the vehicle reaches maximum designed speed, motor braking should engage and limit the vehicle to its
maximum designed speed. On very steep grades, the vehicle may slightly exceed its maximum
designed speed, requiring use of the brake pedal.
Gasoline Vehicles
• Accelerator:
With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse switch in the FORWARD
position, as the accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine should start and the vehicle should accelerate
smoothly to full speed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the
engine should stop. All Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Governor:
Check maximum speed of the vehicle. The vehicle should operate at 12-15 mph (19-24 km/
h) on a level surface.
