Introduction
WELCOME TO THE RANGER ELECTRIC VEHICLE The Ranger Electric Vehicle is very similar to the gas-powered Ranger in appearance, interior and controls. [. . . ] This deceleration is caused by using the spinning motor as a generator to create electrical current. In effect, once the accelerator pedal is released, the motor changes from an energy user to an energy producer. When the battery is almost fully charged, the amount of regenerative braking is limited to avoid overcharging. Regenerative braking does not take the place of the standard friction brakes; it only assists them. Regenerative braking has also been designed to interact with the anti-lock brake system (ABS). Regenerative braking is disabled when the ABS is activated or the battery is fully charged. ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) A noise from the hydraulic pump motor and pulsation in the brake pedal may be observed during ABS braking events. Pedal pulsation coupled with noise while braking under panic conditions or on loose gravel or wet snowy roads is normal and indicates proper functioning of the brake system. If the vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder while braking, felt mainly in the steering wheel, the vehicle most likely needs service. The ABS operates by detecting the onset of wheel lockup during brake applications and compensating for this tendency. ABS warning lamp The ABS warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates if an ABS fault is detected.

An ABS fault will also illuminate the BRAKE warning lamp. BRAKE
Using ABS · In an emergency or when maximum efficiency from the ABS is required, apply continuous full force on the brake pedal. The ABS will be activated immediately (thus allowing you to retain full steering control of your vehicle) and (providing there is sufficient space) will enable you to avoid obstacles and bring the vehicle to a controlled stop. · We recommend that you familiarize yourself with this braking technique. · Regenerative braking is disabled while ABS is active allowing ABS full control.
STEERING Your Ranger Electric Vehicle has variable assist power steering. The power steering uses energy from the battery to help steer your vehicle. If the amount of effort needed to steer your vehicle changes at a constant speed, have the power steering system checked. If the power steering system breaks down (or if the vehicle is turned off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort. Avoid holding the steering wheel to the extreme right or left for more than five seconds if the vehicle is running. When starting the vehicle at extremely cold temperatures (-20°C[4°F]), a 10second delay will occur prior to power steering pump start-up. This will result in a delay of power steering assist during initial start-up.

TRANSAXLE OPERATION Your vehicle is equipped with a brake shift interlock that prevents shifting of the gearshift lever out of park unless the foot brake is applied. Step on the brake pedal and pull the gearshift lever towards you and downward to move the gearshift lever. [. . . ] On the Ranger Electric Vehicle make the connections as follows: · For the +12V circuit, connect a weatherproof fuse holder to the end of the 10 gauge circuit pigtail that is taped into the harness at the auxiliary battery positive terminal. Route and secure the wire as close as possible to the vehicle body from the battery to the transceiver. Pass the wire from the engine to passengers compartment through a hole in the accelerator's cable hole plug. Seal the hole to prevent moisture intrusion into the passenger compartment.

· Connect to the auxiliary battery ground connection using a ring terminal at the ground M6 weldnut behind the LH (driver's) side kick panel. [. . . ]
