OPERATING PROCEDURES Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers. a) the vehicle has been stopped for more than 1.5 seconds b) the accelerator pedal has been released for more than one second c) the vehicle begins to roll above 2 mph (3 kph) the electronic braking will limit speed to approximately 2 mph (3 kph) and the warning beeper will sound. When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the electronic braking and warning beeper will be overridden and normal vehicle operation resumes. Any unusual situation sensed by the TruCourse Technology system will cause a similar response. The system functions in all key switch positions. Anti-Roll Back Feature Anti-Roll Back, like Walk-Away, limits backward motion of the vehicle down an incline to less than 2 mph (3 kph). See 'WalkAway Feature' above. Anti-Stall Feature Anti-Stall protection prevents motor damage from stalling the vehicle against an object or on a hill. Example: If all of the following events occur... a) the system senses that the accelerator pedal is depressed (power applied to motor) b) the motor is stalled long enough that any more time may cause motor damage the TruCourse Technology system will momentarily interrupt power to the motor. This brief interruption will permit the car to roll backwards slightly before again stopping in the stalled condition. This process will repeat itself periodically until the car is moved from the stalled condition. Example: If all of the following events occur... a) the system senses that the accelerator pedal is depressed (power applied to motor) b) the brake is engaged so as to prevent vehicle motion the TruCourse Technology system will sense a stalled motor condition and remove power from the motor. When the brake pedal is released, the car will roll backwards slightly before power is returned to the motor. High Pedal Disable Feature High pedal disable prevents undesired acceleration if the direction selector lever is changed, or the key is turned on while the accelerator is depressed. Diagnostic Mode Feature Diagnostic mode eases troubleshooting. In the unlikely event of certain electrical system failures, theTruCourse Technology controller will default to a mode that will permit the vehicle to operate, but at a very reduced speed. This feature allows the vehicle to be driven back to its storage facility where the problem can be diagnosed. The controller can be put in diagnostic mode by the technician and the controller will report the failure mode. Starting And Driving To reduce the possibilty of roll - back which could result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do not release the service brake until motor has started All vehicles are equipped with an interlock system that disables the controller and prevents the vehicle from being operated or towed while the charger is connected. Remove the charger plug from the vehicle receptacle and properly store the cable prior to moving the vehicle. To operate the vehicle: • Place the key in the key switch and turn it to the 'ON'/'N' position. • Move the direction selector to the direction desired. Page 34 Owner's Guide
