Turning Signal Lights
Your
Comfi-Car
mobility scooter has turn signal lights. The turn signal indicator switch is
found on the central control panel on the steering tiller. Push it left or right to indicate that
you are turning in the appropriate direction, press the middle of the button to turn it off. The
turn signals also emit a noise, to ensure that everyone knows you are turning. The turn signal
noise cannot be disabled without also disabling the visual signal.
Lights
The headlight and tail light are useful features when you are riding at night or in dark areas.
They radically improve your safety in mixed traffic. The switch is located on the central
control panel on the steering tiller. The lights on your
Comfi-Car
mobility scooter consume
some battery power, keeping them on may reduce the distance you can travel on one charge.
Riding in Wet Weather
Your
Comfi-Car
mobility scooter is designed to function in wet conditions, such as when it is
raining. However, because the motor is on the rear wheel, it is easy to slip when moving at
high speeds. If it is very wet, be sure to avoid high speeds.
When you are travelling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function less
efficiently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels. Take care to
slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
Riding in Cold Weather
Your
Comfi-Car
mobility scooter is designed to operate all year round. However, in very cold
conditions or when there is a lot of snow or slush on the ground, it is possible for the motor in
the
Comfi-Car
mobility scooter to get wet or for the brakes to function less efficiently, just as
can happen in wet weather. Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it
would in warmer temperatures.
Riding the
Comfi-Car
mobility scooter in cold temperatures may require you to replace the
battery sooner rather than later.
