Stopping
Release the throttle pedal and use your right foot to press the brake pedal. The amount of force
required to stop the vehicle will vary depending on the environment and load on the vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with regenerative (regen) braking. Regen braking uses the stored energy
of the moving vehicle to generate electricity. The generation of electricity slows the vehicle down
and the power generated is put back into the batteries increasing the driving time of your vehicle.
There is more than one regenerative braking mode. The mode used depends on the current
driving conditions as follows:
•
While Coasting:
When you release the throttle pedal, the Neutral Regen mode is
selected and gradually slows the vehicle. Only a small amount of
power is generated.
•
While Braking:
When the brake pedal is pressed, the Foot Brake Regen mode is
selected with a dramatically increased amount of power generated
with a more rapid slowing of the vehicle.
•
Changing Direction: The Direction Regen mode is selected when the direction of the
vehicle is changed while the vehicle is in motion. In this mode the
motor is reversed and slows the vehicle to a stop and then continues
in the opposite direction.
Parking
1.
Bring the vehicle to a stop at an authorized parking
space.
2. Place the Shift Lever in the center OFF position.
3. Turn the start switch OFF.
4. Firmly set the parking brake.
5. Remove the key from the Start switch. The driver

Note: If parking this vehicle on an incline, turn the wheels
to the curb, or block the wheels.
This vehicle does not have a “park”
function in the transmission.
Always apply the parking brake.
Failure to apply the parking brake
may result in a runaway vehicle.
