The seat interlock switch is only one part of the vehicle safety system. The interlock switch should
not be relied upon as the only safety feature used to disable or disengage this vehicle. Doing so could
result in unexpected movement of the vehicle causing severe bodily injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
The automatic park brake should be disabled
for servicing or towing procedures only. Do not
operate the vehicle while the automatic park
brake is disabled. Operating the vehicle with
the automatic park brake disabled could lead to
severe bodily injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
Do not get off of the driver seat while the vehicle
is in motion, this will result in rapid deceleration
and application of the automatic park brake.
Charger Interlock
The charger interlock is designed to disable the vehicle from being driven while the AC charger cord is
plugged into a functioning power source.
