OPERATING PROCEDURES Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers. • Anti-Stall protection to prevent motor commutator damage from stalling the vehicle against an object or on a hill • High pedal disable to prevent undesired acceleration if the direction selector lever is changed, or the key is turned on while the accelerator is depressed • Diagnostic mode by handheld only to ease troubleshooting Performance Option Top Speed Airport 0 - 6 mph (6 - 12.8 kph) Golf Coastal 14.8 mph (23.8 kph) Golf Steep Hills 12.8 mph (20.6 kph) Golf Mild Hills 13.8 mph (22.2 kph) Freedom 18.5 mph (30 kph) Regenerative Anti-Stall Braking Protection Strength Coast Yes Coast Yes Heavy Yes Mild Yes Coast Yes Fig. 5 Performance Options Regenerative Braking To prevent the possibility of loss of control that could cause severe injury or death, use service brake to control speed. The TruCourse technology system is not a substitute for the ser- vice brake. TruCourse Technology models are equipped with a regenerative motor control system. Example: If all of the following events occur... a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope b) the vehicle attempts to exceed the specified top speed with the accelerator pedal depressed or released the regenerative braking will limit the speed of the vehicle to the specified top speed (the warning beeper will not sound). When the regenerative braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power which is returned to the batteries. If the operator attempts to override the regenerative braking feature by moving the direction selector or key switch to another position, the warning beeper will sound and the vehicle will brake rapidly until it reaches the speed of approximately 2 mph (3 kph). Pedal-Up Braking Pedal-up braking is regenerative braking that occurs when the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle is moving between 8 mph (13 kph) and the vehicle's top speed. Example: If all of the following events occur... a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope b) the accelerator pedal is released for more than one second the pedal-up braking will slow the vehicle (the warning beeper will not sound) until either the vehicle speed is reduced to 8 mph (13 kph), at which it freely coasts between 8 and 3 mph (5 kph), or the accelerator pedal is applied. When pedal-up braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power which is returned to the batteries. Walk-Away Feature Walk-Away limits vehicle movement without driver input, slowing the vehicle to 2 mph (3 kph) and sounding an audible alarm (reverse beeper). Example: If all of the following events occur... Owner's Guide Page 33
