3.3.2 BRAKE PEDAL/PARKING BRAKE
Figure 3.3.2 shows the brake pedal (B) and the parking brake lock (C). The parking brake lock (C) is a bar
located at the top of the brake pedal. To lock foot brake for parking, depress brake pedal and bar at the
same time. Always apply parking brake when leaving the vehicle. It remains applied until automatically
released by depressing the accelerator pedal (N). Parking brake can also be released by momentarily
depressing the brake pedal, and then releasing it.
NOTICE: Never rest your foot on brake pedal while operating the vehicle. This wears brake pads, creates drag and
causes excess battery discharge.
3.3.3 ACCELERATOR PEDAL
Figure 3.3.2 shows the accelerator pedal (A) which controls the speed of the vehicle in the same manner
as a conventional automobile. The pedal should be fully released when changing directions.
To avoid injury, speed in reverse should always be kept at a minimum.
3.3.4 CHARGER RECEPTACLE & REMOTE LED
The charger receptacle (Figure 3.3.4) is located on the panel by the driver’s left leg. The AC
cord will be connected here for battery charging.
The charger is inter-locked with the traction control system which powers down the
vehicle during charging so that the vehicle can not be driven while connected to AC, to
prevent possible damage to the vehicle or the AC receptacle.
Near the receptacle is a remote multicolored LED which will indicate the on-board battery
charging status. See Section 4.5.1 for information on the remote LED.
Always apply the parking brake when charging.
NOTICE: Before removing the AC cord, be sure to check the charging status lights. The light should be steady
green, indicating charge cycle is complete.

The steering wheel controls the path of the vehicle exactly the same as a conventional automobile
steering wheel.
3.3.6 HORN BUTTON – NOT SHOWN
(OPTIONAL)
The horn button, if equipped, is located on the left side of the steering wheel column. Press button to
sound the horn.
