- Power on as shown.
- Wait for startup and system checks to finish.
- Begin at low speed only when no warning is present.
¶ End Notes
First-time users should practice entry, exit, and low-speed control in a flat, open area without traffic or obstacles, with suitable assistance available.
¶ 2) General Driving Tips
Important Notice
The Strutt ev¹ is not a medical device. Intelligent sensing and driver assistance do not replace the driver's observation or control; the user remains responsible for safe operation.
¶ Power On/Off and Sleep Mode
- Confirm that the occupant, device, and surroundings are safe.
- Use the power control shown to start the device.
- Wait for the screen and system to initialize.
- Enter Sleep Mode as shown during a temporary stop.
- Park fully before powering off at the end of use.
¶ Speed Adjustment
- Stop or maintain a controlled low speed.
- Locate the speed control on the screen or control area.
- New users should select the lowest speed level first.
- Change one level at a time and observe the screen status.
- Reduce speed in narrow, crowded, or complex environments.
¶ Joystick Operation
- Rest the hand naturally on the joystick.
- Push gently to move forward, then return to neutral to stop.
- Pull gently to reverse while continuously checking behind.
- Make small left and right inputs to practice steering and tight maneuvers.
- Release the joystick and verify the expected stop response.
¶ Function Buttons
- Identify each function button and its screen feedback from the video.
- Test permitted functions individually while stationary.
- Confirm that the controls match the current software version.
- Consult the User Manual before using an unfamiliar function in a safe environment.
¶ End Notes
Complete basic-control practice before using Advanced Driving. Test every new mode at low speed in a familiar, flat, open area.
¶ 3) Main Driving Modes
The driving modes allow users to choose their preferred level of assistance, ranging from full manual control to assisted driving and autonomous navigation. The five available modes are Manual, Co-pilot, Co-pilot+, Pathfinder, and Waypoint. These modes use the evSense system to support safe driving.
Range mode is also available. However, it does not use evSense for driving assistance.
For more information about evSense and how it works, see the Guide to the evSense System.
¶ What is evSense?
¶ Live View Mapping
- Open Live View or the mapping screen.
- Move slowly while the system senses the surroundings.
- Observe the device, drivable area, and obstacles on the map.
- Stop and reassess if the map is abnormal or the environment changes significantly.
¶ Manual Mode
¶ Co-pilot Mode
¶ Co-pilot+ Mode
Not recommended for crowded or frequently changing environments.
¶ Pathfinder Mode
¶ How to Use
¶ End Notes
Advanced modes require continuous supervision. Environment, software version, map quality, and sensor condition can affect results; always retain the ability to stop and take manual control.
