• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle ride and perfor-

mance. Have a Club Car distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.

IQ System Vehicles

• Zero Speed Detect: With the vehicle parked on level ground and the park brake disengaged, place the

Tow/Run switch in the RUN position and attempt to push the vehicle. Motor braking should engage and
cause resistance to rolling (moving at no more than 1 to 3 mph) (1.5 or 4.8 km/h) with the Forward/
Reverse switch in any position. When zero speed detect motor braking is engaged, the reverse buzzer
should emit a distinct pattern of beeps.

• “Pedal Up” Motor Braking (adjustable on IQ System vehicles): Accelerate the vehicle to full speed

and then release the accelerator pedal. Motor braking should quickly and smoothly slow the vehicle to
approximately 9 mph. Motor braking will disengage when vehicle slows to 9 mph (15 km/h). This fea-
ture is adjustable for IQ System vehicles only. Contact your local Club Car dealer/distributor to inquire
about this adjustable feature.

• “Pedal Down” Motor Braking:  Accelerate down an incline with the accelerator pedal depressed.

When the vehicle reaches maximum designed speed, motor braking should engage and limit the vehi-
cle to its maximum designed speed. On very steep grades, the vehicle may slightly exceed its maxi-
mum designed speed, requiring use of the brake pedal.
