ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is located on the floor to the right of the brake pedal. To
begin moving or to increase vehicle speed, gradually push the accelerator pedal
toward the floor. Holding the accelerator pedal down continuously will accelerate
the vehicle to the maximum speed.
The accelerator pedal will function only if the key is on.
To slow the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and apply the brake. The
electric motor provides additional braking force when the brake pedal is applied.
