Permobil C500 Owner´s Manual Operation

Driving technique

The control panel's electronics "interpret" the movements of the joystick and
move the wheelchair as intended. For normal driving, the user needs to employ
no complex techniques, which is an advantage if the user is inexperienced. A
good way of starting is quite simply to move the joystick in the direction you want
to go. The wheelchair then moves in the direction in which the joystick is pointing.
However, always remember to drive as gently as possible and to avoid sudden
braking and evasive maneuvers.
