PRE-DRIVE INSPECTION
Battery indicator
After you turn the joystick module on, after
a short system test, the battery indicator
(17) displays the battery charge level.
As the batteries drain, the battery indicator
will show an increasingly smaller number of
illuminated segments (17).
☞
This indicator is made up of 10 seg-
ments (3 red, 4 yellow/orange and 3
green).
The colour of the segments indicates:
Green
The batteries are charged.
☞
The battery level corre-
sponds to the number of
green indicators that light
up.
Yellow
Recharging is advisable.
Red
The batteries are empty. Re-
charge as soon as possible.
☞
The battery indicator is only accurate
when travelling on flat surfaces.
☞
When driving up or down a gradient,
the reading will be unreliable.
Interpretation
The battery indicator has been designed for
the discharge properties of the manufactur-
er's original batteries. Aftermarket or other
batteries may have divergent properties
that negatively affect reliability.
Moreover, since an accurate reading is con-
tingent on the age of the batteries and the
temperature and load to which they are ex-
posed, certain limitations apply.
