CAUTION
Changing the drive mode switch position while driving
could result in an automatic increase or decrease in
speed without a change to accelerator pedal pressure.
See Table 1.
Use high mode for most trail-riding conditions. The
vehicle will operate at speeds up to 25 MPH (40 km/h).
Low mode is recommended for short-term operation in
extreme load conditions. Use low mode when towing,
hauling loads or maneuvering over obstacles. Speed will
be limited to a maximum of 12 MPH (19 km/h) and
regenerative braking increases to improve control in
aggressive terrain.
Use the Maximum Range mode to operate the vehicle a
greater distance or for a longer time period. This mode
limits both speed and torque to obtain the maximum
driving range.

BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR
The battery discharge indicator displays the amount of
charge
removed (used) from fully charged batteries.
When the batteries are fully charged, the right-most bar
illuminates, indicating 0% has been used.
As the batteries discharge, the bar moves toward the left.
If batteries are not allowed to recharge fully (solid green
light), the battery discharge indicator may be inaccurate.
When the second bar from the left flashes, battery
discharge is at 70%. The batteries should be recharged
as soon as possible.
Avoid discharging the batteries
more than 80%.
If the two left-most bars begin to flash, battery service life
will be significantly reduced with continued operation.
Stop the vehicle and recharge the batteries.
