Changing Performance Options

The performance option may be changed if the

existing option is not compatible with the terrain

that the vehicle will be operated.
1. Raise the seat and ensure that the Run-Tow/

Maintenance switch is in the ‘RUN’ position.

2. Ensure that the charger is unplugged from the

vehicle.

3. Locate the vehicle diagnostic port and remove

the environmental cover.

4. Connect the handheld diagnostic tool and select

the desired performance setting.

5. Disconnect the handheld diagnostic tool, replace

the environmental cover and seat.

At monthly intervals, test the TCT system by allowing the vehicle to roll down an incline with the accelerator pedal

released. Braking force should be felt at approximately 2 mph (3 kph) indicating that the TCT system is functioning.

If vehicle speed continues to rise, apply the service brake to control speed and proceed with diagnostic check.

Charging the vehicle will also de-activate the diagnostic mode and the handheld diagnostic tool will not operate. The two-position

‘Run-Tow/Maintenance’ switch is located under the passenger side of the seat on the ESC environmental cover.
