Driving 

During mode selection pressing the AUX button when the 7-Segment display is 
illuminated will enter drive mode. 

The Display will then scan through the drive profiles available, 1, 2, n … 

 

Press AUX when desired drive profile is lit to select the profile. 

The scan pattern will start. 

 

The G91S will return to the home level after the programmed number of scan cycles is 
reached. 

To drive press the AUX button when the desired direction indicator is illuminated.   

 

 

Example 

Pressing the AUX button now would result in the chair turning 
right
