3.6 Parking Brake
Located next beside the seat on the left. Pull up to engage.
Depress button on end of handle and push lever down to
release parking brake. Brake warning light on digital display
will come on when parking brake is engaged.
WARNING:
Even if the parking brake is pulled, the operator
must not leave the vehicle while it is in the forward or reverse
drive mode. The drive mode selector must be in park if the
operator is leaving the vehicle.
3.7 Pedals
3.7.1 Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal is the right pedal. Press the
pedal to accelerate. Idle position is when no force is
being applied to the pedal.
WARNING:
At idle electric motors are much quieter
than traditional gas or diesel engines. Some extra
caution should be taken when engaging the motor
and beginning to drive. Pedestrians will not easily
hear the vehicle move.
3.7.2 Brake Pedal
The brake pedal is the left pedal. When the pedal is
depressed, the vehicle’s brakes are applied and the
vehicle will slow down to a stop. The GO-4 EV is
also equipped with brake regeneration technology
which takes some of the energy from the moving
vehicle and stores it back in the high voltage battery.
