Driving technique

The control panel electronics interpret joystick movements and
move the wheelchair accordingly. No complex user techniques are
required for normal driving, which is an advantage if the user is
inexperienced. A good way to get started is simply to move the
joystick in the direction you want to go. The wheelchair will then
move in the direction in which the joystick is pointing.
However, always remember to drive as gently as possible and to
avoid sudden braking and evasive maneuvers.
