PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving
instructions, take the vehicle for a test drive.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any prob-
lems should be corrected by a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
All Vehicles
• Forward/Reverse control: Check for proper operation. See Controls and Indicators on page 15.
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pres-
sure, it should not go more than halfway to the floor, and vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop
within 14 feet (4.3 m). If the pedal goes more than halfway to the floor, or if the vehicle swerves or fails to
stop within 14 feet (4.3 m), have the brake system checked and adjusted as required. Brake adjustment
must be maintained so that the brake pedal cannot be pressed to the floor under any circumstance.
• Park brake: When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on
an incline of 20% or less). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is pressed.
• Reverse buzzer: The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch is in the REVERSE position.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
Electric Vehicles
• Accelerator: With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse switch in the FORWARD
position, as the accelerator pedal is pressed, the motor should start and the vehicle should come up
smoothly to full speed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the motor
should rotate freely. All Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
IQ System vehicles only: When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the
motor should rotate freely or go into motor braking mode. See "Pedal Up" Motor Braking below.
DS IQ System Vehicles
• Zero Speed Detect: With the vehicle parked on level ground and the park brake disengaged, place the
Tow/Run switch in the RUN position and attempt to push the vehicle. Motor braking should engage and
