If the user needs to stop the wheelchair quickly, or stop a seating motion quickly, the
power button can be pressed to perform an EMERGENCY STOP. If driving, the wheelchair
will come to a halt quickly; the rate at which it comes to a halt is set by the Emergency
Deceleration parameter
Caution: If the parameter is set too high, the user can lose balance
or fall out of the chair. Refer to your Dealer with questions.

Drive inhibit error mode is indicated by the battery gauge with a right-to-left

The chase sequence starts with the green LED on the right-hand side,
and one-by-one, each LED will switch on and then off.
When the sequence completes at the left-most red LED,
it begins again at the right-hand-side.
The chase sequence continues until the error condition has been cleared.
