MAIN DISCONNECT SWITCH AND FUSE PANEL
Figure 9 - Main Disconnect Switch
The main disconnect switch (MDS) (Figure 9), is located inside the fuse
access panel on the lower dash. The switch is clearly labeled ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’.
The switch is intended to provide an easy way to disconnect all power to the
vehicle during long-term storage. After disconnect is turned off, some power
may remain in the system until all capacitors have discharged.
NOTE: The main disconnect switch must be turned ‘ON’ for operation and
charging. The GEM car is equipped with a battery charger that will monitor
the state of charge of the batteries and will initiate a charge cycle whenever
the batteries fall below a predetermined level. If the car will be left unused for
an extended period of time, leave the MDS on and the car plugged in. The
car will maintain a charge on its own for up to 24 weeks.
