INFORMATION
The control unit of the product switches to a safe mode at
elevated temperatures and after driving uphill for extended
periods of time, limiting the performance of the product.
The user is able to drive the product out of a hazardous
situation at any time. The product is fully functional again
once the unit has cooled down sufficiently (this may take
several minutes depending on the ambient temperature).
The outdoor vehicle is controlled by moving the joystick:
• The further the joystick is deflected from the centre posi­
tion, the faster the outdoor vehicle will drive in this direc­
tion.
• The maximum speed at full deflection of the joystick
depends on the selected speed level.
• Releasing the joystick automatically activates the brake
function, bringing the outdoor vehicle to a halt.
The mechanical brakes are activated automatically when the
outdoor vehicle comes to a stop so that it cannot roll.
7.3.6 Drive-Away Lock
INFORMATION
The drive-away lock for the product can only be activated
as described below if the function was previously enabled
(see front inner cover). The factory default setting can be
changed by the specialist dealer.
