KEY SWITCH

The key switch is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column 

(Figure 3)

. It has two positions, OFF

and ON, which are clearly labeled. 

See following NOTE. 

NOTE: 

The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.

FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROLS

PowerDrive System 48 Vehicles

The Forward/Reverse handle is located on the seat support panel 

(Figure 4)

. The handle has three distinct

positions: 

F

 (FORWARD), 

N

 (NEUTRAL), and 

R

 (REVERSE). Rotate the handle towards the driver (FOR-

WARD) to operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or towards the passenger (REVERSE) to operate the
vehicle in reverse. When the handle is in the straight up position (NEUTRAL), the vehicle will not operate. Club
Car transportation vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning
when the Forward/Reverse handle is in REVERSE.

IQ System Vehicles

The Forward/Reverse rocker switch is located in the same place as the Forward/Reverse handle on other
models: on the seat support panel below and to the right of the driver’s right knee. The 

F

 (FORWARD) and 

R

(REVERSE) positions are clearly marked. Push down the FORWARD side of the switch to operate the vehicle
in the forward direction, or push down the REVERSE side of the switch to operate the vehicle in reverse.
When the rocker switch is positioned in NEUTRAL, with neither side down, the vehicle will not operate if the
accelerator pedal is depressed 

(Figure 5)

. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/

Reverse switch is in REVERSE.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL

The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it 

(Figure 6)

. The operation of

the accelerator pedal differs from that of an automobile. When the key switch is ON, and the Forward/Reverse
handle or switch is in either FORWARD or REVERSE, depressing the accelerator pedal will automatically
release the park brake and start the vehicle moving in the direction selected (forward or reverse). As the
accelerator pedal is depressed, speed will increase until full speed is reached. When the accelerator pedal is
released, power will be cut off and the motor will stop running. 

NOTE:  IQ System vehicles only: See "pedal-up" and "pedal-down" motor braking on page 21.
