2-48 Instruments and controls
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the traction motor output to
reduce wheel spin. The traction motor speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is depressed
to the floor. If maximum traction motor power is
needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC
system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The
indicator will illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again to turn on the
VDC system, or the VDC is automatically turned
back on when the power switch is placed in the
off position and then placed back in the READY
to drive position. See “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.
The power outlet is located in the instrument
panel.

during or immediately after use.

exceed a 12-volt, 120W (10A) power
draw. Do not use double adapters or

drive position to avoid discharging
