Sport (2)
With the key turned ON and the brake depressed, release the emergency handbrake if it
is engaged. Push in the button on the left of the shifter knob and move the shifter to the
Sport (S) position. Release the brake and push down on the accelerator pedal to move
the vehicle forward in Sport mode (using 650 amps of motor controller power, generating
additional low end power or torque for faster off the line acceleration). You can also shift
into Sport mode while you are driving in D.
EconoMode (E)
Depress the Econo Mode button on the right side of the shifter while in Drive to put the
car in Econo mode to increase range: Forward using 475 amps of motor controller power,
limiting acceleration and increasing regenerative braking upon accelerator pedal release.
When you are in Econo mode, a green “E” and the words “Econo Mode” appear on the
console. To get out of Econo mode, press the button again.
PARKING BRAKE
On the floor between the seats is the hand actuated parking brake. This brake must be
engaged when parking the vehicle or prior to exiting the vehicle. Grasp the brake and pull
up to engage. Press the silver button on the end and lower the brake handle to release the
parking brake.
Leaving children unattended in a vehicle is dangerous. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake or the shifter lever. Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child
could operate controls or move the vehicle.
Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving. Failure to do so can lead to
brake problems due to excessive heating of the rear brakes.
WARNING
Always turn the vehicle OFF, put the car in Park and engage the parking brake prior
to exiting the vehicle or it could roll and cause damage or injury.
NOTE
The parking brake is adjustable and should be checked periodically by a trained
service technician as shown in the vehicle maintenance schedule.
