STOPPING THE VEHICLE
∆
WARNING
• Driving through water may affect the brakes. After driving through water, check effectiveness
of the brakes by gently pressing the brake pedal. If the vehicle does not slow down at the
normal rate, continue to press the brake pedal until the brakes dry out and normal
performance returns.
∆
CAUTION
• When stopped on a hill, use the brake pedal to hold your position. Do not use the accelerator
pedal.
To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal with your right foot until the vehi-
cle comes to a complete stop.
PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE
1. After stopping the vehicle, firmly press the park brake pedal until it locks. This will prevent the vehicle from
rolling.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF postion and place the Forward/Reverse handle or switch in the NEUTRAL
position. Remove the key when the vehicle is not in use.
• IQ System vehicles only: When the Tow/Run switch is in the RUN position (with the Forward/Reverse
switch or key switch in any position), the “zero speed detect” function will prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing at more than 1 to 3 mph (1.5 to 4.8 km/h) unless the accelerator is pressed. This prevents the pos-
sibility of a parked vehicle (with the park brake disengaged) rolling away too fast to be overtaken on
foot. See Zero Speed Detect on page 22.
• Gasoline vehicles only: Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position when the vehicle is
not in use.
TOWING
∆
WARNING
• Do not tow the vehicle on public streets or highways.
• Use only approved Club Car tow bars.
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position and place the Forward/Reverse handle or switch in the
NEUTRAL position before towing the vehicle.
• Extreme caution should be used when towing any vehicle.
• Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) towing speed.
• Do not allow people in the vehicles being towed.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
