OPERATION
1. Use the Foot Brake Pedal to bring the FUV to a
complete stop (see page 27).
2. Set the Direction switch to NEUTRAL (•).
3. Always check for obstacles or people behind the
vehicle, and always inspect left and right fields of
vision before operating in reverse.
4. When it’s safe to proceed, switch the Direction
switch to REVERSE (ò).
5. Release the Foot Brake Pedal.
6. Very gently, twist the throttle to start moving
rearward.
Be careful when driving the FUV in reverse - the FUV is
inherently less stable when moving backwards. For
safety, torque and speed are limited when in reverse.
l Avoid making sudden steering movements and
never apply hard throttle in reverse.
l Always observe your path of travel and be alert to
traffic, pedestrians, and obstacles at all sides of the
vehicle while in reverse.
l
The KERS Trigger Control (see page 27) will not
slow or brake the FUV when in reverse. Use the
brake pedal for all braking when in reverse.
Parking and Shut Down
When your ride is over, park your FUV in a safe spot, put it
in Neutral, and always engage the Parking Brake before
turning the FUV off:
1. Find a safe spot to park, and bring the FUV to a
complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal depressed, press the Parking
Brake button on the Control Panel to engage the
Parking Brake.
