• The driver must keep both hands on the steering wheel and the eyes focused in

• Show extra caution in populated areas or when reversing. Always reverse slowly
and pay attention to the road and surroundings.
• Avoid accelerating or decelerating in an abrupt manner.
• Always adjust the speed to the current terrain.
• Drive slowly when making turns and when going up and down slopes. Never turn

• Never drive on slopes at an angle, use brakes to reduce speed when driving down-

Golf cars can cause serious injury or damage if used improperly or not maintained
according to the vehicle’s maintenance program. Before the vehicle is put into service,
all necessary safety precautions must be taken and all the additional rules and regu-
lations of the area where the vehicle is being used must be observed.
Golf cars should be safe to use as long as the safety precautions explained in this
user’s manual and on the vehicle are upheld. Make sure that the vehicle is always
driven according to the current conditions, and adjust the speed and driving pattern
according to the terrain in which the vehicle is currently moving.
It is expected that many vehicles will be used for a variety of tasks beyond the origi-
nal intended use of the vehicle. As a consequence of this, it is impossible to anticipate
and warn against every possible combination of circumstances that may occur. No
warnings can take the place of good common sense and prudent driving practices.
