Vehicles with Headlights
The headlight switch (3) is located on the instrument panel to the right of the steering column
(Figure 8 or Figure

. Press the side of the switch with the headlight symbol to turn the headlights on and press the other side to turn

BATTERY WARNING LIGHT
Electric vehicles feature a dash mounted warning light (4) (above steering column) that, when the vehicle is in
operation, indicates low battery voltage or, when the vehicle is being charged, indicates a charging problem
(Figure 7)
.
The battery warning light is controlled by the onboard computer.
When the vehicle is in operation, the warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated if:
• Batteries’ voltage drops below 48 volts when there is no load on the batteries (the vehicle is stopped and there
are no accessories on).
• Batteries have discharged to less than 25% of rated capacity.
If the warning light comes on 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
comes on and the vehicle is unable to operate for 30 minutes, have your Club Car distributor/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, 4) the charger malfunctions,
or 5) the wrong charger is used, the warning light will indicate as follows:
