Direction Selector Operation
To prevent loss of control, do not move the direction selector to a different position while the vehi-
cle is in motion. If you move the selector, the speed will immediately decrease and a warning
device activates.
Move the direction selector to F (forward) to move in the forward direction.
Move the direction selector to R (reverse) to move in the reverse direction. A reverse warning buzzer activates when the
direction selector is moved to the R (reverse) position.
The position between F (forward) and R (reverse) is the neutral posi-
tion.
When you leave the vehicle, turn the key to the OFF position and
remove it from the key switch.
Accelerator and Brake Pedal Operation
With the key switch in the F (forward) or R (reverse) position, press the
accelerator pedal (1), which starts the motor and the vehicle moves in
the direction indicated on the key switch/direction selector. This vehicle
is equipped with motor brake. When the accelerator pedal is released,
the motor will stop. To stop the vehicle quickly, press the brake pedal
(2) (Figure 2).
Horn (if equipped)
If the vehicle is equipped with a horn, the horn button (3) is located on
the driver's side of the floorboard. Pressing the button (3) will sound the
vehicle's horn (Figure 2).
Run/Tow Switch Operation
Before you attempt to tow the vehicle, turn the key switch to N
and move the Run/Tow switch to the TOW position. Failure to do
so will damage the controller or the motor.
The RUN/TOW switch should always be returned to the RUN/STOR-
AGE or
(on European Models) position after towing the vehicle. If
the switch is left in the TOW or
(on European Models) position for
an extended period of time it will drain the batteries.
The Run/Tow switch is located under the seat on the passenger side of
the vehicle.
With the switch in the TOW or
(on European Models) position and
the key in N (neutral):
•
the electronic parking brake is deactivated, which allows the vehicle to be towed or move freely, except in the
event of a controller failure
•
the brake is still active
