Warning - Club Car Villager 2001 Owner's Manual

FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL
The Forward/Reverse shift handle is located on the seat support panel (Figure 5, Page 19). The handle has
three distinct positions: F (FORWARD), N (NEUTRAL), and R (REVERSE). Rotate the handle towards the
driver, F (FORWARD), to operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or towards the passenger, R (REVERSE),
to operate the vehicle in reverse.
• Pedal-Start Vehicle: When handle is in the straight up, or N (NEUTRAL) position, vehicle will not operate.
• Key-Start Vehicle: The engine will idle while in NEUTRAL. See following NOTE.
NOTE
• KEY-START VEHICLE: THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING IF THE ACCELERATOR IS
DEPRESSED WHILE THE FORWARD/REVERSE HANDLE IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it (Figure 6, Page 19). The
operation of the accelerator pedal differs from that of an automobile.
• Pedal-Start Vehicle: When the key switch is ON, and the Forward/Reverse handle is in either FOR-
WARD or REVERSE, depressing the accelerator pedal will automatically release the park brake and
start the vehicle moving in the direction selected (FORWARD or REVERSE). As the accelerator pedal
is depressed, speed will increase until full speed is reached. When the accelerator pedal is released,
power will be cut off and the engine will stop running.
• Key-Start Vehicle: The engine must first be running before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle and
depressing the accelerator pedal. As the accelerator pedal is depressed, speed will increase until full
speed is reached. When the accelerator pedal is released, it will return to the original position and the
engine will drop back to idle.
