GENERAL INFORMATION

OIL LIGHT

Gasoline Vehicles Only
The gasoline vehicle is equipped with a low oil warning light, located on the dash panel just above the steer-
ing column (Figure 3-13, Page 3-8). If the oil warning light comes on, oil should be checked and added to the
engine as necessary before continuing to use the vehicle. The vehicle should never be driven when the oil
warning light remains on. If the oil warning light goes on and off, the vehicle may be driven, but oil should be
checked at the first opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the light stays on, have a Club Car factory trained
technician check the vehicle.
CAUTION
• FAILURE TO ADD OIL IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE OIL WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON MAY
RESULT IN PERMANENT ENGINE DAMAGE.

FUEL/HOUR GAUGE

Gasoline Vehicles Only
The gasoline vehicle is equipped with a fuel/hour gauge, located on the dash panel (Figure 3-13, Page 3-8). The
fuel gauge allows the operator to monitor the fuel level in the vehicle. The hour meter should be used by the
trained technician in order to track vehicle usage and determine when periodic service procedures are required.

BATTERY WARNING LIGHT

Electric Vehicles Only
PowerDrive System 48 electric vehicles feature a dash-mounted battery warning light (above steering col-
umn) that, when the vehicle is in operation, indicates low battery voltage, or when the vehicle is being
charged, indicates a charging problem. The battery warning light is controlled by the PowerDrive onboard
computer.
When the vehicle is in operation, the warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated if:
• Batteries voltage drops below 48 volts when there is no load on the batteries (the vehicle is stopped
and there are no accessories on).
• Batteries are discharged to less than 25% of their capacity.
If the warning light illuminates repeatedly, with four second intervals, when the vehicle is operating, there will be
enough power remaining to drive the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes. However, the vehicle should be
charged at the first opportunity. If the warning light illuminates and the vehicle is unable to operate for 30 min-
utes, have a Club Car distributor/dealer check the vehicle for a possible battery or electrical system problem.
When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC
power to the charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4) the
charger malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows:
