CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

See General Warnings on page 10.
WARNING
• If renting or loaning the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls and operating
procedures before allowing the vehicle to be driven.
• Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle or switch while the vehicle is moving. To avoid injury to an
unsuspecting passenger or damage to the vehicle, always bring the vehicle to a full stop before
shifting the Forward/Reverse handle or switch.
• Release the accelerator pedal and then press the brake pedal firmly until the vehicle stops. To
avoid unintentionally starting or rolling the vehicle, set the park brake, place the Forward/Reverse
handle or switch in the NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch to the OFF position, and remove the
key when leaving the vehicle.
• Gasoline vehicles only: Do not tamper with the governor. Doing so will void the warranty, as well as
damage the engine and other components, and could result in property damage, personal injury, or
death due to unsafe speeds.
KEY SWITCH
The key switch (1) is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column (Figure 10 or Figure 11). It has two
positions, OFF and ON, which are clearly identified. See following NOTE.
NOTE: When the key is turned to the OFF position, the main vehicle systems are disabled. The key switch may be
used as an emergency stop.
The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.
FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL
Gasoline Vehicles
The Forward/Reverse handle (2) is located on the right-hand side of the instrument panel (Figure 10). The handle
has three distinct positions: F (FORWARD) (6), N (NEUTRAL) (7), and R (REVERSE) (8). Push the handle up to
operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or pull the handle down to operate the vehicle in reverse. Club Car
vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse
handle is in the REVERSE position.
Electric Vehicles
The Forward/Reverse rocker switch (2) is located on the right-hand side of the instrument panel (Figure 11). The F
(FORWARD) and R (REVERSE) positions are clearly marked. Press the FORWARD side of the switch to operate the
vehicle in the forward direction, or press the REVERSE side of the switch to operate the vehicle in reverse. When the
rocker switch is positioned in NEUTRAL, with neither side down, the vehicle will not operate if the accelerator pedal is
pressed. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse switch is in the REVERSE position.
Club Car vehicles operate at reduced speed in REVERSE.
