Controls and Indicators – Gasoline Vehicles
2007 Precedent Golf Car Owner’s Manual

The Tow/Run switch should be placed in the TOW position under the following conditions:
• Before Towing the Vehicle:
Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to disable all motor braking
functions, thus preventing possible damage that could occur to the vehicle or electrical components if
the vehicle is towed while the zero speed detect motor braking function is operating.
• Before Disconnecting or Connecting Battery Cables:
Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW posi-
tion to turn off power to the vehicle electrical system, thus preventing severe arcing and possible bat-
tery explosion as the battery cables are disconnected.
• For Long Term Storage:
Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to turn off power to the vehicle
electrical system, thus preventing vehicle electrical components from discharging the batteries.

WARNING
• If renting or loaning the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls and
operating procedures before allowing the vehicle to be driven.
• Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle while the vehicle is moving. To avoid injury to an
unsuspecting passenger or damage to the vehicle, always bring the vehicle to a full stop
before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle.
• Release the accelerator pedal and then press the brake pedal firmly until the vehicle stops. To
avoid unintentionally starting or rolling the vehicle, set the park brake, place the Forward/
Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch to the OFF position, and remove
the key.
• Do not tamper with the governor. Doing so will void the warranty, as well as damage the
engine and other components, and could result in property damage, personal injury, or death
due to unsafe speed.
