FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Console
Park Brake Lever
To help prevent the vehicle from rolling, set the park brake when parking the vehicle. When
the park brake is set and the park brake indicator is illuminated, motor speed is limited. If the
accelerator is applied, this limiting feature prevents operation, which protects the park brake
pads from excessive wear.
Tip:
This feature will not operate properly if the park brake connector or switch (under the hood) mal-
functions or becomes disconnected, or if the switch has moved. Check for disconnection, then see
your dealer promptly if this feature fails to operate properly.
Always apply the service brakes before engaging or releasing the park brake.
1. Apply the brakes.
2. Pull the park brake lever downward as far as possible.
3. To release the park brake, apply the brakes. Press the park brake release inward and
move the lever upward as far as possible.
Charge Status Indicator
When charging the batteries, the charge status indicator light flashes and changes color to
indicate the status of the charge. Refer to the table below.
Key Switch
Move the direction selector switch to neutral, then turn the key
to the ON position to activate the electrical circuits.
Tip:
The accelerator will not start the motor if the direction selector
switch is in forward or reverse when the key is turned on. Switch to
neutral, then choose forward or reverse.
Turn the key to the OFF position to disable all electrical cir-
cuits. The key can be removed from the switch when it is in the
OFF position.
