Accelerator Pedal; Brake Pedal - Club Car 2006 Precedent Owner's Manual

ACCELERATOR PEDAL

The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it (Figure 6). The operation of
the accelerator pedal differs from that of an automobile. When the key switch is the ON position, and the For-
ward/Reverse switch is in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position, pressing 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 pressed, speed will increase until full speed is reached. When the accel-
erator is released, power will be cut off and the motor will stop running.
IQ System vehicles use a special electrical system, which employs motor braking in some modes of opera-
tion. In those modes, the vehicle operates as follows:
• Zero Speed Detect: This prevents the vehicle from rolling away uncontrolled should the driver park on
a slope and leave the vehicle without locking the park brake. The vehicle will roll at about 1 mph (1.6
km/h). If the zero speed detect function remains engaged for two seconds or more, a warning buzzer
will sound to alert the driver that motor braking has been activated. See following WARNING.
ý
WARNING
• Zero speed detect will not limit vehicle speed to 1 mph (1.6 km/h) on very steep grades. Do not
operate vehicle on slopes exceeding 20% grades.
• Pedal Down Motor Braking: This feature helps to control vehicle downhill speed. Motor braking is
activated when the vehicle reaches the programmed top speed and holds the vehicle at that speed.
Motor braking is automatically disengaged when vehicle speed slows below the programmed top
speed.
• Pedal Up Motor Braking: When vehicle speed is above 11 mph (17.7 km/h), releasing the accelerator
pedal will activate motor braking, which slows the vehicle speed. Once vehicle speed slows to below
approximately 11 mph (17.7 km/h), with the accelerator pedal still released, motor braking will be deac-
tivated and the vehicle will coast freely. This feature is selectable. Contact your Club Car dealer/distrib-
utor to inquire about this selectable feature.
