Understanding the Features of Your Vehicle

Current Limiting Mode

The current limiting mode is designed to protect the batteries and motor. If
the current limiting mode icon is lit, it is an indication of one of the following
issues.

Battery Pack Over-Voltage

Battery over-voltage typically occurs when the vehicle is descending down
hills after being fully charged. During descent, the regen mode is activated,
which returns current to the battery by using the motor as a generator. In
some extreme cases, the battery pack might get overcharged.

Battery Pack Under-Voltage

Battery under-voltage would coincide with a low charge reading on the state
of charge gauge. If you continue to drive, the acceleration and power will
begin to decrease. The controller will eventually shut the vehicle down before
allowing battery damage to occur. If the charge is low and the current limiting
icon is lit, pull the vehicle over to a safe location and charge the vehicle.
