OPERATING PROCEDURES
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
4 - 8

b) the accelerator pedal is released for more than one second
the pedal-up braking will slow the vehicle (the warning beeper will
not
sound) until either the vehicle speed is
reduced to 8 mph (13 kph), at which it freely coasts between 8 and 3 mph (5 kph), or the accelerator pedal is applied.
When pedal-up braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power which is returned
to the batteries.
Terrain
The vehicle is designed for use on improved roads (but not on public highways). The vehicle may also be used on
established trails or open terrain that is free from stumps, large rocks or holes.
The vehicle should not be used to cross water.
Walk-Away Feature
Walk-Away limits vehicle movement without driver input, slowing the vehicle to 2 mph (3 kph) and sounding an audi-
ble alarm (reverse beeper).
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the vehicle has been stopped for more than 1.5 seconds
b) the accelerator pedal has been released for more than one second
c) the vehicle begins to roll above 2 mph (3 kph)
the Walk-Away feature will limit speed to approximately 2 mph (3 kph) and the warning beeper will sound. When the
accelerator pedal is depressed, the Walk-Away feature and warning beeper will be overridden and normal vehicle
operation resumes. Any unusual situation sensed by the TruCourse Technology system will cause a similar
response. The system functions in all key switch positions.
Anti-Roll Back Feature
Anti-Roll Back, like Walk-Away, limits backward motion of the vehicle down an incline to less than 2 mph (3 kph). See
‘Walk-Away Feature’ above.
Anti-Stall Feature
Anti-Stall protection prevents motor damage from stalling the vehicle against an object or on a hill.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the system senses that the accelerator pedal is depressed (power applied to motor)
b) the motor is stalled long enough that any more time may cause motor damage
the Anti-Stall feature will momentarily interrupt power to the motor. This brief interruption will permit the car to roll
backwards slightly before again stopping in the stalled condition. This process will repeat itself periodically until the
car is moved from the stalled condition.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the system senses that the accelerator pedal is depressed (power applied to motor)
b) the brake is engaged so as to prevent vehicle motion
the Anti-Stall feature will sense a stalled motor condition and remove power from the motor. When the brake pedal is
released, the car will roll backwards slightly before power is returned to the motor.
High Pedal Disable Feature
High pedal disable prevents undesired acceleration if the direction selector lever is changed, or the key is turned on
while the accelerator is depressed.
Diagnostic Mode Feature
Diagnostic mode eases troubleshooting.
