Stopping
WARNING
Brakes contaminated with water or mud may not work properly until dried out.
ALWAYS test brake operation immediately after driving through puddles or mud. Failure
to test brake operation may result in the inability to stop in an emergency causing in
severe personal injury and/or property damage.
CAUTION
DO NOT not turn the Start switch OFF while the vehicle is in motion unless the vehicle
must be stopped due to an emergency. This vehicle is equipped with an automatic electric
parking brake. Turning the Start switch OFF will immediately apply the brake, abruptly
stopping the vehicle. This may result in injury to the occupants of the vehicle and will
result in accelerated wear and premature failure of the parking brake.
WARNING
DO NOT exit the vehicle until the vehicle has come to a full stop.
• Exiting a vehicle that is in motion could result in being run over by the vehicle, loss of
control of the vehicle, or stumbling during exit resulting in severe bodily injury and/
or property damage.
• Exiting a vehicle that is in motion will result in the vehicle control system executing
an emergency stop procedure and rapidly slowing the vehicle to a stop. The rapid
slowing may be unanticipated by the operator and result in impact between the
vehicle and operator or upsetting the towed load causing severe bodily injury and/
or property damage.
Press the rear of the treadle with your heel to apply the brake. The amount of force required to
stop the vehicle will vary depending on the environment and load on the vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with regenerative (regen) braking. Regen braking uses the stored energy
of the moving vehicle to generate electricity. The generation of electricity slows the vehicle down
and the power generated is put back into the batteries increasing the driving time of your vehicle.
Do not turn the start switch off until the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Turning the start
switch off will disable the regen braking and abruptly apply the park brake.
There is more than one regenerative braking mode. The mode activated depends on the driving
conditions as follows:
• While Coasting:
• Changing Direction: The Direction Regen mode is activated when the direction of the

vehicle is changed while the vehicle is in motion. In this mode the
motor is reversed and slows the vehicle to a stop and then continues
in the opposite direction.
