1. If the Segway HT pushes the Handlebar back, what should you do?

Stop leaning forward and slow down!

Slow down, step off, and power down your machine.

2. You are riding through a doorway, and one Wheel gets caught. What Safety Feature might you experience?
Safety Shutdown.
Stick Shake Warning.
Rider Detection System.
Speed Limiter.
3. While riding, how many Rider Detect Sensors must be depressed to achieve full performance?
Just one.
One or two.
Two or three.
Three or Four.
4. If your Segway HT performs a Safety Shutdown while you are riding forward at 6 mph (10 km/h), you should experience the following:
Handlebar tilting back into your torso to slow you down, beeping, vibration and the Display shows red.
Display shows red with a smiling face, and steering is disabled.
The Segway HT will slow down to 3 mph (6 km/h), Display shows green with straight face.
None of the above.
5. The Segway HT will limit your speed if:
You are pressing the Mode Button while riding.

It senses you are too close to an obstacle.
a and b.
6. You are riding up a hill with the Display showing the green smiling face. Suddenly, the machine pushes you back and begins to beep and vibrate. You glance down at the Display and see the red frowning face and no black segments around the display. What should you do?        
Continue riding slowly.
Step off the Segway HT, pull it to the top of the hill, restart and ride it home.
Come to a controlled stop, and safely step off within 10 seconds.
Monitor the Display to see if it returns to a green smiling face.
7. While moving your Segway HT from one end of the room to another, it began to vibrate, then seemed to lose power. What happened?
The Rider Detection System sensed no rider on board while the Segway HT was moving in Balance Mode, gave the Stick Shake Warning, then automatically changed to Power Assist Mode.
You must have turned the Steering Grip while moving the Segway HT.
The Rider Detection System sensed too much weight on the Platform.

8. You are riding backward, quickly—a dangerous activity. The Segway HT alerts you by:
Handlebar tilting back into your torso to slow you down, beeping, vibration and the Display shows red.
Display shows green with a sad face, and steering is disabled.
The Segway HT will slow down to 3 mph (6 km/h), Display shows green with straight face.
The Segway HT gives the Stick Shake Warning.
9. Choose the most important reason for slowing down if Speed Limiter engages:
The vibration could damage the motors.
The transmissions could overheat.
You could lose your balance and fall.
Battery Range could be significanly reduced.
10. When riding, if you feel or hear the Stick Shake Warning, your first reaction should be to:
Raise your Handlebar.
