Good to know. Hope I don't have to try it, but am guessing it will happen sometime.

If you are in TOW you will not go anywhere. The TOW position is to disengage the electric motor so it does not try to turn when you are being towed. If you do not put it in TOW you could end up with a burnt out electric motor by the time you get home.

I was doing some work on my Club Cart one day and put it in TOW mode. I forgot to put it back. When I went to play golf the next day, the cart just sat there when I put it in reverse or forward. I was in panic mode because I was going to be late. Then I remembered and put the TOW switch back to on and off I went!!.
