4.23 Creep mode

WARNING!
Please ensure your backrest recline angle relative to floor
level, which is a combination of the back recline itself and
the tilt angle, does not exceed 12° to drive the wheelchair
safely.
NOTE: If the tilt angle exceeds 9° the wheelchair will
automatically convert into "creep mode" which will allow
you a maximum of 10% of the speed programmed in the
profile.
WARNING!
If you have a manual recline backrest on your wheelchair
, please be aware that there will be no feedback system
to the controller that tells it that the seat is in a reclined
position. If you recline your backrest and attempt to drive,
it will not go into 'creep mode', it will instead drive at
normal speed.
This is especially dangerous when attempting to drive up
a slope.
