1.8 HILL HOLD AND ROLL BACK
The Garia features a hill hold function which keeps the vehicle at steady speeds when
starting and stopping on a slope.
When stopping, the motor will keep the vehicle steady for two (2-3) seconds before
the parking brake engages.
If the ignition switch is not turned off, the vehicle will remember the amount of torque
added when stopping, and apply the same amount of torque when starting again to
ensure a smooth start and a limited roll back.
Should motor stall appear, the parking brake will engage immediately and the control-
ler will need to be reset with the key switch to “OFF”, following to “N” and finally to “F”
to start driving forward (or “R” for reversing).
1.9 EMERGENCY BRAKING
If the key switch is turned into the “OFF” position when the vehicle is moving, mo-
tor braking will stop the vehicle immediately. This type of braking can cause personal
injury. The parking brake will be engaged when the vehicle has come to a full stop.
NOTE:
This type of braking is for
emergency use only
; should the service brake fail.
It can potentially cause personal injuries or damage to the drive train or tires of the
vehicle.
After any emergency braking incident, please contact a qualified repair shop for a
brake safety and function check. It is recommended that maintenance is provided by
an Authorized Garia Service Dealer.
Risk of personal injury!
Brake lights will not come on when performing emergency or motor braking. Only
perform this type of braking when you can closely follow the traffic around you, and
only in emergency situations.
Any damage to or malfunction of the braking system can result in severe injury or
death. Always make sure that the brakes are fully functioning.
