WARNING
Electric vehicles:
• Pedal down or pedal up motor braking may be used to help control speed when going
downhill; however, steep terrain or other conditions will require that pedal braking be used in
conjunction with motor braking.
Gasoline vehicles:
• Do not shift the vehicle out of forward while going downhill. If you do, you will not be able to
shift into reverse or back into forward until stopped.
• Press the brake pedal as necessary and partially press the accelerator when descending a
hill. With the accelerator pedal partially pressed, the governor will cause the engine to assist
the brakes in controlling downhill speed.
NOTE: If the Forward/Reverse handle is shifted into the NEUTRAL position, power will be cut off and the
engine will stop running.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
ý
WARNING
• Driving through water may affect the brakes. After driving through water, check effectiveness
of the brakes by gently pressing the brake pedal. If the vehicle does not slow down at the
normal rate, continue to press the brake pedal until the brakes dry out and normal
performance returns.
ý
CAUT ION
• When stopped on a hill, use the brake pedal to hold your position. Do not use the accelerator
pedal.
To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal with your right foot until the vehi-
cle comes to a complete stop.
PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE
1. After stopping the vehicle, firmly press the park brake pedal until it locks. This will prevent the vehicle
from rolling. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with lights: After the park brake is engaged, the brake lights will remain illu-
minated for up to four minutes.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and place the Forward/Reverse handle or switch in the NEU-
TRAL position. Remove the key when the vehicle is not in use. For gasoline vehicles, also turn off the
fuel shut-off valve (Figure 20, Page 29).
3. IQ System vehicles only: When the Tow/Run switch is in the RUN position, (with the Forward/Reverse
switch or key switch in any position), the Zero-Speed Detect function will prevent the vehicle from rolling
at more than 1 to 3 mph (1.5 to 4.8 km/h) unless the accelerator is pressed. This prevents the possibility
of a parked vehicle (with the park brake disengaged) rolling away too fast to be overtaken on foot.
