Controls and Indicators
16 2001 DS Golf Car Electric Vehicle Owner’s Manual
If the warning light illuminates when the vehicle is operating, there will be enough power remaining to drive
the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes. However, the vehicle should be charged at the first opportunity. If
the warning light illuminates and the vehicle is unable to operate for 30 minutes, have your Club Car distribu-
tor/dealer check the vehicle for a possible battery or electrical system problem.
When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC
power to the charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4) the
charger malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows:
• The warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer will
retain in memory the amount of charge needed to fully replenish the batteries and will complete the
charge during the next charge cycle.
• When the charger is unplugged, the warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated for 10 seconds
if the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for approximately 30 minutes
of operation. This will alert the operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to
completion as soon as possible.
• The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals if the charger times
out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. See PowerDrive Charger Owner’s Man-
ual. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your
Club Car distributor/dealer.
• The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals during a charge
cycle (DC plug is still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when AC
power is restored.
LED Light: In addition to the warning light, there is an infrared LED in the dash light assembly which trans-
mits an infrared signal from the onboard computer (OBC). This signal is received by the optional Communi-
cation Display Module which provides information on the condition of the vehicle and batteries.
