Key Switch; Accelerator Pedal - Club Car DS Golf 2006 Owner's Manual

Controls and Indicators

KEY SWITCH

The key switch is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column (Figure 4). It has two positions,
OFF and ON, which are clearly labeled. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.
FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL
PowerDrive System 48 Vehicles
The Forward/Reverse handle is located on the seat support panel, below and to the right of the driver's right
knee (Figure 5). The Forward/Reverse handle has three distinct positions: F (FORWARD), R (REVERSE), and
N (NEUTRAL). Rotate the handle towards the driver (FORWARD) to operate the vehicle in the forward direction,
or towards the passenger (REVERSE) to operate vehicle in reverse. When the handle is in the straight up posi-
tion (NEUTRAL), the vehicle will not operate. 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.

PowerDrive Plus and IQ System Vehicles
The Forward/Reverse rocker switch is located in the same place as the Forward/Reverse handle on all other
models: on the seat support panel below and to the right of the driver's right knee. The F (FORWARD) and R
(REVERSE) positions are clearly marked. Push down the FORWARD side of the switch to operate the vehicle
in the forward direction, or push down 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 (Figure 6). The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/
Reverse switch is in the REVERSE position.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL

The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it (Figure 7). The operation of
the accelerator pedal differs from that of an automobile. When the key switch is in the ON position, and the
Forward/Reverse handle or 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
accelerator is released, power will be cut off and the motor will stop running.
