• 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 trans-
mits an infrared signal from the onboard computer (OBC). This signal is received by the optional Communica-
tion Display Module, which provides information on the condition of the vehicle and batteries.

WARNING
• Place Tow/Run switch in the TOW position before disconnecting or connecting the batteries.
Failure to heed this warning could result in a battery explosion or severe personal injury.
• When the Tow/Run switch is in the TOW position, all motor braking functions, including zero-
speed detect, are disabled.
IQ System vehicles are equipped with a Tow/Run switch, located under the seat just above the Forward/
Reverse switch (Figure 9). The switch must be in the RUN position in order to operate the vehicle. When the
switch is in the TOW position, power to the vehicle electrical components is turned off and the vehicle will not
operate. See following NOTE.
NOTE: After placing the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position, allow 10 seconds to elapse before switching
back to the RUN position.
After placing the Tow/Run switch in RUN position, allow 10 seconds to elapse before operating the
vehicle.
The Tow/Run switch should be placed in the TOW position under the following conditions:
• Before Towing the Vehicle: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to disable all motor braking
functions, thus preventing possible damage that could occur to the vehicle or electrical components if
the vehicle is towed while the Zero-Speed Detect motor braking function is operating.
• Before Disconnecting or Connecting Battery Cables: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position
to turn off power to the vehicle electrical system, thus preventing severe arcing and possible battery
explosion as the battery cables are disconnected.
• For Long Term Storage: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to turn off power to the vehicle
electrical system, thus preventing vehicle electrical components from discharging the batteries.
