If the mode switch is pressed when the joystick is centered, the control system
operation mode will be changed. There are three modes - drive, speed
adjustment and actuator adjustment. The diagram below explains this action.

3.4.1 Speed Adjustment Mode
When the control system is in this mode, the maximum speed
indicator will flash. The maximum speed can be adjusted by left
or right movements of the joystick. Left will decrease the speed
setting and right will increase it. Forward or reverse movements
of the joystick will take you back into drive mode.
Depressing the mode switch will put the control system back into drive mode.
3.5 Horn Switch
The horn will sound while the switch is depressed.
4.0 Getting Ready to Drive
Depress the on/off switch. The battery gauge will blink and then turn on after a
second.
Check that the maximum speed control is set to a level that suits you.
Push the joystick to control the speed and direction of the wheelchair.
Please note that if you push the joystick before or just after you switch the control
system on, the battery gauge will ripple up and down and the wheelchair will not be
allowed to move. You must release the joystick to resume normal operation. If you do
not release the joystick within five seconds, the wheelchair will not be able to move
