• Brakes:
Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is pressed using moderate pressure,
the vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop. If the vehicle swerves, fails to stop, stops abruptly,
or makes a grinding or squealing noise, have the brake system checked and adjusted as required.
Continued moderate brake pedal pressure should be able to lock the wheels, but using lesser pressure
should also permit a slow gradual deceleration.
• Park brake:
When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on
incline of 20% or less). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is pressed.
• Reverse buzzer:
The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse switch is
in REVERSE.
• Steering:
The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator:
With the key switch ON and the Forward/Reverse switch in the FORWARD position, as
the accelerator pedal is pressed, the motor 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 motor should
rotate freely or go into motor braking mode. All Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• General:
Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
• Zero Speed Detect:
With the vehicle parked on level ground and the park brake disengaged, place the
Tow/Run switch in the RUN position and attempt to push the vehicle. Motor braking should engage and
cause resistance to rolling (moving at no more than 1 to 3 mph) (1.5 to 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.

WARNING
• Zero speed detect may not hold the vehicle on very steep grades. Do not operate vehicle on
slopes exceeding 20% grades.
• “Pedal Up” Motor Braking:
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 selectable
for IQ System vehicles. Contact your local Club Car dealer/distributor to inquire about this selectable
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 the use of the brake pedal.
