Regenerative Braking; Pedal-Up Braking - E-Z-GO 2Five Owner's Manual

OPERATING PROCEDURES
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.

Regenerative Braking

To prevent the possibility of loss of control that could cause severe injury or
death, use brake to reduce speed.
This vehicle is equipped with a regenerative motor control system. If the vehicle is being driven down a slope
and the driver attempts to exceed the specified top speed (with the accelerator pedal depressed or released),
the regenerative braking will limit the speed of the vehicle to the specified top speed. When the regenerative
braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power that is returned to the bat-
teries.
When the vehicle speed is reduced below the maximum by using the brake, the speed will not increase
unless the throttle is increased. When the brake pedal is released, the vehicle will slow down as it does with
pedal up braking.

Pedal-Up Braking

Pedal-up braking is regenerative braking that occurs when the accelerator pedal is released while the
vehicle is moving. If the vehicle is being driven down a slope and the accelerator pedal is released, pedal-
up braking will slow the vehicle until the vehicle stops, or the accelerator pedal is applied. When pedal-up
braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power that is returned to the
batteries.
