Pedal-Up Braking
Pedal-up braking is regenerative braking that occurs when the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle is mov -
ing.
Example: If all of the following events occur:
• the vehicle is being driven down a slope
• the accelerator pedal is released
the pedal-up braking decreases speed until the vehicle stops or the accelerator pedal is applied. The warning beeper
will not activate. When pedal-up braking is activated by this sequence of occurrences, the motor generates power
which is returned to the batteries.
Walk-Away Feature
Walk-Away limits vehicle movement without driver input, decreases vehicle speed to 2 mph (3 kph) and activates an
alarm.
Example: If all of the following events occur:
• the vehicle is stopped for more than 2 seconds
• the accelerator pedal is released for more than one second
• the vehicle starts to move at more than 2 mph (3 kph)
the Walk-Away feature limits speed to approximately 2 mph (3 kph) and the warning beeper activates. When the
accelerator pedal is pressed, the Walk-Away feature and warning beeper stops and normal vehicle operation contin -
ues.
Anti-Roll Back Feature
Anti-Roll Back, like Walk-Away, limits reverse motion of the vehicle down a slope to less than 2 mph (3 kph). See
Walk-Away Feature for more information. An alarm will not be activated should the anti-roll back feature engage.
Anti-Stall Feature
Anti-Stall protection prevents motor damage if the vehicle is stalled against an object or on a hill.
Example: If all of the following events occur:
• the system senses that the accelerator pedal is pressed (power applied to motor)
• the motor is stopped long enough that additional time can cause damage to the motor
the Anti-Stall feature will interrupt power to the motor. To restore power to the motor, turn the key to the OFF position
for 5 seconds and return the key switch to the N (neutral) position before driving/ continuing operation.
High Pedal Disable Feature
High Pedal Disable prevents acceleration of the vehicle if the direction selector is changed or the key is turned on
while the accelerator is pressed.
Diagnostic Mode Feature
Diagnostic mode helps with troubleshooting.
With some electrical system failures, the Diagnostic Mode feature defaults to a mode that allows the vehicle to oper
-
ate at a decreased speed.
This feature allows you to return the vehicle to the storage facility and identify the problem.
