Towing; Transporting On A Trailer - Club Car DS Golf Car 2001 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
• 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 depress the brake pedal with your right foot until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop.
PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE
1. After stopping the vehicle, firmly depress the park brake pedal until it locks. This will prevent the vehicle
from rolling.
2. Turn the key switch to OFF and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Remove
the key when the vehicle is not in use.
3. PowerDrive Plus 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 or 2 mph (1.5 or 3 km/h) unless the accelerator is depressed. This prevents
the possibility of a parked vehicle (with the park brake disengaged) rolling away too fast to be overtaken
on foot. See Zero Speed Detect, Page 12.
