Important Notes
Use caution at all times, especially when travelling in mixed traffic. Always take into account
driving & travelling conditions.
Obey the law. Be sure to follow all traffic laws. This includes obeying traffic signals and road
signs, checking carefully when turning, & riding defensively. A Comfi-Car mobility scooter is
a motorised vehicle, even though it is classed as a mobility scooter. You must follow the law.
Stay Sober, never ride your Comfi-Car mobility scooter while under the influence of alcohol,
drugs or medication that may affect your ability to control the vehicle. Consult your doctor If
you are in any doubt. You should always be in control of the vehicle.
Share the road. Be careful in mixed traffic when on pathways, travelling near pedestrians, or
on recreational trails, be polite and courteous to those using the paths with you, the Comfi-Car
should be set to 4mph mode.
Inspecting your
Comfi-Car
Always inspect your Comfi-Car mobility scooter before you ride it, to make sure its safety
features are operating properly. Many accidents can be avoided with routine inspections.
Once you are comfortable with your Comfi-Car mobility scooter, you will be able to detect
small changes in the way it feels. If anything changes between uses, make sure to have it
properly examined.
Turning your
Comfi-Car
mobility scooter On and Off
To turn on your Comfi-Car mobility scooter, insert the key into the “ignition”, located just
below the dash board, and turn the key to the right. When your Comfi-Car mobility scooter is
activated, the power indicator will light up and the battery charge indicator will illuminate,
showing you the level of charge your Comfi-Car mobility scooter has. To turn off the Comfi-
Car mobility scooter, simply turn the key to the left and remove the key.

When you switch on the Comfi-Car mobility scooter, the electrical system becomes live. Do
not try to affect changes to the Comfi-Car mobility scooter (such as removing the battery or
repairing electrical components) while the Comfi-Car mobility scooter is turned on. Turn the
Comfi-Car mobility scooter off and remove the key before you attempt to access any of the
electrical components. Be aware, the battery carries a significant electric charge and can
injure people if not treated properly and with respect.
Accelerating, Decelerating, and Coming to a Full Stop.
Apply pressure on the green lever (right) to go forward. To decelerate, release the right lever
and the Comfi-Car will slow to a stop.
Warning
Do not activate the vehicle until you are seated in the Comfi-Car mobility scooter and are
ready to accelerate. The Comfi-Car scooter could easily escape from your control, possibly
injuring you or others, and the Comfi-Car mobility scooter may get damaged.

Turning Signal Lights
Your Comfi-Car mobility scooter has turn signal lights. The turn signal indicator switch is
found on the central control panel on the steering tiller. Push it left or right to indicate that
you are turning in the appropriate direction, press the middle of the button to turn it off. The
turn signals also emit a noise, to ensure that everyone knows you are turning. The turn signal
noise cannot be disabled without also disabling the visual signal.
Lights
The headlight and tail light are useful features when you are riding at night or in dark areas.
They radically improve your safety in mixed traffic. The switch is located on the central
control panel on the steering tiller. The lights on your Comfi-Car mobility scooter consume
some battery power, keeping them on may reduce the distance you can travel on one charge.
Riding in Wet Weather
Your Comfi-Car mobility scooter is designed to function in wet conditions, such as when it is
raining. However, because the motor is on the rear wheel, it is easy to slip when moving at
high speeds. If it is very wet, be sure to avoid high speeds.
When you are travelling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function less
efficiently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels. Take care to
slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
Riding in Cold Weather
Your Comfi-Car mobility scooter is designed to operate all year round. However, in very cold
conditions or when there is a lot of snow or slush on the ground, it is possible for the motor in
the Comfi-Car mobility scooter to get wet or for the brakes to function less efficiently, just as
can happen in wet weather. Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it
would in warmer temperatures.
Riding the Comfi-Car mobility scooter in cold temperatures may require you to replace the
battery sooner rather than later.
