B
b) the brake is engaged so as to prevent vehicle
motion
the TruCourse Technology system will sense a stalled
motor condition and remove power from the motor. When
the brake pedal is released, the car will roll backwards
slightly before power is returned to the motor.

High Pedal Disable Feature

High pedal disable prevents undesired acceleration if the
direction selector lever is changed, or the key is turned on
while the accelerator is depressed.

Diagnostic Mode Feature

Diagnostic mode eases troubleshooting.
In the unlikely event of certain electrical system failures,
theTruCourse Technology controller will default to a mode
that will permit the vehicle to operate, but at a very
reduced speed.
This feature allows the vehicle to be driven back to its
storage facility where the problem can be diagnosed.
The controller can be put in diagnostic mode by the tech-
nician and the controller will report the failure mode.

STARTING AND DRIVING

To reduce the possibilty of roll - back which
could result in severe injury or vehicle dam-
age, do not release the service brake until
motor has started
All vehicles are equipped with an interlock system that
disables the controller and prevents the vehicle from be-
ing operated or towed while the charger is connected.
Remove the charger plug from the vehicle receptacle
and properly store the cable prior to moving the vehicle.
To operate the vehicle:
• Place the key in the key switch and turn it to the
'ON'/'N' position.
• Move the direction selector to the direction
desired.
• Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to start the
motor.
• When the accelerator pedal is released, the motor
controls the deceleration. To stop the vehicle
more quickly, depress the service brake pedal.

When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warn-
ing signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready to run
in reverse.

STARTING VEHICLE ON A HILL

The parking brake will activate automatically when the
vehicle comes to a stop. To start the vehicle on a hill de-
press the accelerator pedal and the parking brake will
be released.

COASTING

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death from coasting at above recommended
speeds, limit speed with service brake.
Uncontrolled coasting does not occur with this model.
However, this is not a substitute for the service brake
which should be used to slow the speed of the vehicle
quickly.
This model is equipped with a feature (pedal-up braking) that
slows the vehicle's speed when the accelerator pedal is
released until the vehicle stops.
