Driving and Dashboard Displays
The car is automatic, so use only your right leg.
Depress the footbrake to move the gear stick between forward and reverse.
When starting on a hill, use the handbrake and accelerator pedal, as with a
standard car.
If you are in F (forward) or R (reverse), without the handbrake or footbrake on,
you will creep forward or backwards before pressing the accelerator. Please
take extra care in stationary traffic, traffic lights etc, to ensure you do not move
forward by mistake.
The C Zero has regenerating power systems. When you take your foot off the
accelerator, the car will start to slow down, and power will be transferred into
the batteries. As you are using the footbrake power is transferred into the
batteries.
Try to predict your braking requirements well in advance, and use the
regenerative braking as much as possible to maintain the range of the C Zero.
