Gasoline Vehicles
The Forward/Reverse handle is located on the seat support panel, below and to the right of the driver’s right
knee
(Figure 5)
. The Forward/Reverse handle has three distinct positions:
F
(FORWARD),
R
(REVERSE),
and
N
(NEUTRAL). Rotate the handle towards the driver (FORWARD) to operate the vehicle in the forward
direction, or towards the passenger (REVERSE) to operate vehicle in reverse. When the handle is in the
straight up position (NEUTRAL), the vehicle will not operate. Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in
reverse. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is in the REVERSE
position.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it
(Figure 7)
. The operation of
the accelerator pedal differs from that of an automobile. When the key switch is in the ON position, and the
Forward/Reverse handle or switch is in either in the FORWARD or REVERSE position, pressing the acceler-
ator pedal will automatically release the park brake and start the vehicle moving in the direction selected (for-
ward or reverse). As the accelerator pedal is pressed, speed will increase until full speed is reached. When
the accelerator is released, power will be cut off and the motor or engine will stop running.
