Driving Instructions - Club Car Villager 2000 Owner's Manual

• When the charger is unplugged, the warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated for 10 seconds
if the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for approximately 30 minutes
of operation. This will alert the operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to
completion as soon as possible.
• The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals if the charger times
out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged (see PowerDrive Charger Owner's
Manual). This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by
your Club Car distributor/dealer.
• The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals during a charge
cycle (DC plug is still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when AC
power is restored.
LED Light: In addition to the warning light, there is an infrared LED in the dash light assembly which trans-
mits an infrared signal from the OBC. This signal is received by the optional Communication Display Module
which provides information on the condition of the vehicle and batteries.
