Towing

2001 DS Golf Car Electric Vehicle Owner’s Manual       19

To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and depress the brake pedal with your right foot until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop.

PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE

1. After stopping the vehicle, firmly depress the park brake pedal until it locks. This will prevent the vehicle

from rolling.

2. Turn the key switch to OFF and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Remove

the key when the vehicle is not in use.

3. PowerDrive Plus Vehicles Only: When the Tow/Run switch is in the RUN position, (with the Forward/

Reverse switch or key switch in any position), the “zero speed detect” function will prevent the vehicle
from rolling at more than 1 or 2 mph (1.5 or 3 km/h) unless the accelerator is depressed. This prevents
the possibility of a parked vehicle (with the park brake disengaged) rolling away too fast to be overtaken
on foot. See Zero Speed Detect, Page 12.

TOWING

All vehicles are equipped with both front and rear tow bar attaching points. A light duty tow bar is available for
break-down towing and single vehicle towing. A heavy duty tow bar and an onboard tow bar are available for
multi-vehicle towing. Observe all of the previous WARNING statements when towing.

TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER

If your vehicle must be transported over long distances or on public highways, it should be done on an
approved trailer, and all the following WARNING procedures should be followed: 

                

• WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL, USE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO HOLD YOUR POSITION. DO NOT

USE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

• NEVER TOW THE VEHICLE ON PUBLIC STREETS OR HIGHWAYS.

• USE ONLY APPROVED CLUB CAR TOW BARS.

• TURN THE KEY SWITCH TO OFF AND PLACE THE FORWARD/REVERSE HANDLE IN NEUTRAL

BEFORE TOWING THE VEHICLE.

• EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN TOWING ANY VEHICLE.

• DO NOT EXCEED 5 MPH (8 KM/H) TOWING SPEED.

• DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLES BEING TOWED.

• AVOID SUDDEN STARTS, SUDDEN STOPS, AND TIGHT TURNS WHEN TOWING.

• DO NOT TOW MORE THAN ONE CLUB CAR VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER CLUB CAR VEHICLE. IF

MORE THAN ONE VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED, AN ADEQUATELY POWERED VEHICLE (TRACTOR
OR FULL SIZED TRUCK) PROPERLY FITTED, WITH A TOW HITCH HEIGHT OF 11 INCHES (28 CM)
SHOULD BE USED. ONLY HEAVY-DUTY TOW BARS SHOULD BE USED FOR MULTI-VEHICLE
TOWING. NEVER TOW MORE THAN FIVE VEHICLES AT ONE TIME.

     POWERDRIVE PLUS VEHICLE ONLY: 

• PLACE THE TOW/RUN SWITCH IN TOW POSITION. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ROLL OTHERWISE.
