Controls and Indicators
• The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals if the charger times out at 16
hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged.
See the battery charger owner’s manual.
This indicates an
abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer.
• The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals during a charge cycle (DC plug is
still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when AC power is restored.
LED Light:
In addition to the warning light, there is an infrared LED in the dash light assembly, which transmits an
infrared signal from the onboard computer (OBC). This signal is received by the optional Communication Display
Module, which provides information on the condition of the vehicle and batteries.
LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT
Gasoline Vehicles Only
The gasoline vehicle is equipped with a low oil warning light (1), located on the dash panel to the right of the key switch.
If the warning light comes on, oil should be checked and added to the engine as necessary before continuing to use
the vehicle. The vehicle should never be driven with the low oil warning light remaining on. If the warning light goes on
and off, you may proceed, but oil should be added at the first opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the warning light
stays on, have a trained technician check the vehicle.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning light stays on may result in permanent
engine damage.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it
(Figure 13)
.
•
Electric vehicles:
When the key switch is in the ON position, and the Forward/Reverse handle or switch is in either
the FORWARD or REVERSE position, pressing the accelerator pedal will automatically release the park brake
and start the vehicle moving in the direction selected (forward or reverse). When the accelerator is released,
power will be cut off and the motor will stop running.
•
Key-start vehicles:
The engine must first be running before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle and pressing the
accelerator pedal. Pressing the accelerator pedal will automatically release the park brake and start the vehicle
moving in the direction selected (forward or reverse). When the accelerator is released, the engine will idle.
See following WARNING and CAUTION.
WARNING
• Moving parts! Keep clear of the engine compartment while the engine is running.
CAUTION
• Key-start vehicles: Do not “rev” the engine for long periods of time while the Forward/Reverse handle
is in the NEUTRAL position. Failure to heed this caution can result in damage to the transaxle.
• Key-start vehicles: Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle while the accelerator pedal is pressed.
Shift the handle only when the vehicle is at a complete stop and the engine is at idle. Failure to heed
this caution can result in damage to the transaxle.
Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles use a special electrical system, which employs motor braking in some modes of operation. In
those modes, the vehicle operates as follows:
