Brake Pedal

NOTICE
The vehicle brakes are not power-assisted. Braking the vehicle may feel different than braking other types of vehicles. Practice braking in a safe area to become familiar with the feel of the vehicle brakes before driving in traffic.
Depress the brake pedal to slow or stop the vehicle. Apply the brakes while starting the engine.
NOTICE
When driving above 10 MPH (16 km/h), the vehicle may engage a brake-throttle override system. If the vehicle detects that the brake pedal is pressed at the same time as the throttle pedal, it will disengage engine power after one second.

Throttle Pedal

Depress the throttle pedal to increase engine speed and (when the transmission is in gear) vehicle speed. Spring pressure returns the pedal to the rest position when released. Always check that the throttle pedal returns normally before starting the engine.
NOTICE
When driving above 10 MPH (16 km/h), the vehicle may engage a brake-throttle override system. If the vehicle detects that the brake pedal is pressed at the same time as the throttle pedal, it will disengage engine power after one second.

Clutch Pedal

Depress the clutch pedal (disengage the clutch) before shifting gears. For smooth clutch operation, depress the pedal quickly and release it gradually.
  • To disengage the clutch, press the pedal toward the floor.
  • To engage the clutch, gradually release the clutch pedal.
