OPERATING PROCEDURES
Regenerative Braking
To prevent the possibility of loss of control that could cause severe injury or death, use
brake to reduce speed.
This vehicle is equipped with a regenerative motor control system.
Example: If both of the following events occur:
a. The vehicle is being driven down a slope.
b. The driver attempts to exceed the specified top speed with the accelerator pedal pressed or
released.
The regenerative braking will limit the speed of the vehicle to the specified top speed. When the regenerative
braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power that is returned to the
batteries.
When the vehicle speed is reduced below the maximum by using the brake, the speed will not increase
unless the throttle is increased. When the brake pedal is released the vehicle will slow down as it does with
pedal up braking.
