    Why is my Invacare MK5 EX slow when seat is elevated?
    • J
      John FrazierSep 14, 2025
      If your Invacare Wheelchair slows or stops while driving and the DPJ Joystick - ORANGE LED flashes or MPJ Joystick - “SLOW” is displayed, it's likely because the elevating seat is elevated. The elevating seat has a speed reduction safety mechanism that slows the wheelchair's speed by 80% when the seat is elevated. Return the seat to its lowest position.

      If there are no LEDs on your Invacare Wheelchair joystick, it could be due to the joystick connection to the controller being unplugged or damaged (check all joystick connections, replace if damaged) or corroded wiring or connections (replace wiring harness).
