Textron E-Z-GO Shuttle 2 2007 Manuel D'exploitation Et D'entretien page 22

OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Make sure that the direction selector is in
correct position before attempting to start
the vehicle.
Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop
before shifting the direction selector.
Do not take vehicle out of 'gear' while in
motion (coast).
Check the area behind the vehicle before
operating in reverse.
All occupants must be seated. Keep entire
body inside vehicle and hold on while vehi-
cle is in motion.
PERFORMANCE
PDS vehicles operate only when the Run - Tow/Maintenance
switch is in the 'RUN' position. (Refer to RUN - TOW/MAINTE-
NANCE SWITCH on page 4)
The options are defined as follows (Ref Fig. 10 on page
6):
Performance Top Speed
No Plug
Fig. 10 Performance Characteristics
The vehicle's top speed is sensed and regulated directly
by the controller and the feature to slow the vehicle when
the accelerator pedal is up is mild.
Speed Control
To prevent the possibility of loss of control that
could cause severe injury or death, use service
brake to control speed. The PDS system is not
a substitute for the service brake.
PDS models are equipped with a motor control system.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope
b) the vehicle attempts to exceed the specified top
speed with the accelerator pedal depressed or
released

Pedal-Up
Speed Control
15 mph
Mild
(24 kph)
Owner's Manual and Service Guide
the motor control system will limit the speed of the vehi-
cle to the specified top speed (the warning beeper will
not sound). When the system is activated by this
sequence of events, the motor generates power which is
returned to the batteries.
If the operator attempts to override the feature by moving
the direction selector or key switch to another position,
the warning beeper will sound and the vehicle will slow
rapidly until it reaches the speed of approximately 2 mph
(3 kph).
Pedal-Up Feature
The pedal-up feature slows the vehicle when the acceler-
ator pedal is released while the vehicle is moving
between 8 mph (13 kph) and the vehicle's top speed.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope
b) the accelerator pedal is released for more than
one second
the pedal-up feature will slow the vehicle (the warning
beeper will not sound) until either the vehicle speed is
reduced to 8 mph (13 kph), at which it freely coasts
between 8 and 3 mph (5 kph), or the accelerator pedal is
applied. When pedal-up feature is activated by this
sequence of events, the motor generates power which is
returned to the batteries.
Walk-Away Feature
Walk-Away limits vehicle movement without driver input,
slowing the vehicle to 2 mph (3 kph) and sounding an
audible alarm (reverse beeper).
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the vehicle has been stopped for more than 1.5
seconds
b) the accelerator pedal has been released for more
than one second
c) the vehicle begins to roll above 2 mph (3 kph)
the walk-away feature will limit speed to approximately 2
mph (3 kph) and the warning beeper will sound. When
the accelerator pedal is depressed, the walk-away fea-
ture and warning beeper will be overridden and normal
vehicle operation resumes. Any unusual situation sensed
by the PDS system will cause a similar response. The
system functions in all key switch positions.
Anti-Roll Back Feature
Anti-Roll Back, like Walk-Away, limits backward motion of
the vehicle down an incline to less than 2 mph (3 kph).
See 'Walk-Away Feature' above.
