WARNING

Content marked as “WARNING” indicates a hazardous situa-

tion which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious

injury.

CAUTION

Content marked as “CAUTION” indicates a hazardous situa-

tion which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate

Mullen CAMPUS Owner’s Manual

1.3 Configuration Options

Options identified by “(if equipped)” indicate an optional configu-

ration is available for different models of this vehicle. Please refer

to your actual vehicle to determine if it is configured with these

options.

1.4 Electrical Equipment

This vehicle has two types of electrical components: low voltage

and high voltage. The low voltage system is similar to traditional

motor vehicle systems and includes lighting and instrumentation.

The primary purpose of the high voltage system is to provide

power for moving the vehicle. The high voltage system is also

used to charge the 12 volt (12V) system. The vehicle will not move

if the 12V system is depleted.

1.4.1 Low Voltage Equipment

The rated working voltage of low voltage electrical equipment is

12 volts. The low voltage system includes the instrument panel,

audio-visual system, lights, speakers, fans, and combination

switches.

1.4.2 High Voltage Equipment

High voltage electrical equipment includes the drive motor, motor

control unit, high voltage battery, air conditioner compressor, and

heater. High voltage cables and connectors are bright orange in

color.

DANGER

High voltage components, usually identifiable by attached

orange cables, present an electrical shock hazard. To avoid

injury, do not touch high voltage components, including the

high voltage wiring harness and connectors.

1.4.3 Maximizing High Voltage Battery Life

Maintaining the State of Charge (SOC) between 20% and 90% will

help improve the longevity of the high voltage battery. Charge the

high voltage battery pack immediately if the SOC is below 20%.

When charging, set the maximum state of charge at 90%.

When not in use, the vehicle should be stored in temperatures

between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C). If the vehicle will be parked

for an extended period (e.g., 30 days or more), set the maximum

state of charge at 50%.

NOTICE

If left unplugged, the vehicles will use energy from the high

voltage battery to recharge the 12V battery when needed.

2.4.5 Special Tips for Driving Electric Vehicles . . . . . . . . . . . . 10

2.1 Before Starting the Vehicle

1. Walk around the outside of the vehicle. Make sure the area

around the vehicle is clear of people and obstructions.

Ensure that the air intake areas of the radiator are free of

debris.

2. Take five minutes to inspect the vehicle’s tire pressure and

overall condition prior to driving. Maintain proper tire pres-

sure in all four tires as indicated on the decal affixed in the

driver’s door frame. Keep a tire pressure gauge in the vehicle

for this purpose. Low tire pressure causes premature wear to

the tires and other vehicle components and diminishes vehi-

cle performance and efficiency. Once your exterior inspec-

tion is satisfactory, you may get in the vehicle.

3. Ensure the parking brake is on.

4. Adjust the seat and mirrors.

5. Fasten the seat belt.

6. Turn off unnecessary accessories.

7. Ensure the gear selector dial is in Neutral (N).

8. Turn the ignition switch to ON, but do not start the vehicle

yet.

9. For a brief moment, you should see all the indicator lights on

the instrument panel. Most of these lights will turn off. A few

indicator lights will remain on until you start the vehicle.

2.2 Starting the Vehicle

1. Turn the ignition key to the START position to start the vehi-

cle. The READY indicator turns on when the vehicle is run-

ning. At this point, all other indicator lights should be off.

Mullen CAMPUS Owner’s Manual

2. With your foot on the brake pedal, release the parking brake

by lifting up and pressing the button on the end of the lever.

Then push the lever downward to its home position.

3. If the vehicle does not start as it should, turn the key switch

to LOCK. Set the gear selector dial to Neutral (N), place your

foot on the brake pedal, and then try starting the vehicle

again.

4. Select desired gear on the gear selector dial: Drive (D), Econ-

omy (E), or Reverse (R).

5. Remove your foot from the brake pedal and use the acceler-

ator to reach the desired speed.

2.3 Vehicle Operation

2.3.1 Uphill Start

If you are starting the vehicle on an upward incline, leave the park-

ing brake engaged prior to starting the vehicle. Once the vehicle is

started, select the correct gear, and slowly release the parking

brake while using the accelerator pedal to reach the desired

speed.

The motor will produce enough power to handle the incline.

2.3.2 Regenerative Mode

This vehicle features a regenerative mode, or ‘regen’, to extend

the driving range. Regen relies on the motor as a generator to con-

vert kinetic energy from an object in motion to electrical energy

that recharges the high voltage battery.

When the operator presses the brake pedal, regen assists the

brakes by employing the motor to act as a generator. The generat-

ing process creates resistance against the rotating wheels which,

in turn, helps slow the vehicle. As the vehicle slows, electrical

energy is used to replenish the battery.

By selecting Economy (ECO), and relying on the motor to help

slow the vehicle, drivers may extend their driving range. When

switching between ECO and Drive, drivers may notice slight differ-

ences in the amount of pressure needed on the brake pedal to

slow or stop the vehicle. The instrument panel will indicate a neg-

ative amperage, when the high voltage battery is being replen-

ished. Regen is reduced when the high voltage battery State of

Charge (SOC) is above 95% and at low temperatures. During these

times of reduced regen, additional brake input may be required.

WARNING

Do not turn off the ignition key while driving. Without vehicle

power, steering and braking are less effective.

BEFORE YOU DRIVE

2.3.3 Parking Brake

To engage the parking brake, ensure the vehicle is at a complete

stop and pull the parking brake hand lever backwards into an

upwards position. Do not press the release button while engaging

the parking brake.

To disengage the parking brake, place your foot on the brake

pedal and lift the parking brake hand lever while pressing the but-

ton on the end of the lever. Then push the lever down to its home

position. Ensure that the parking brake indicator is no longer on

prior to driving.

WARNING

Failure to apply the parking brake may allow the vehicle to

roll, potentially causing property damage and personal

injury.

2.3.4 Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

When slowing or stopping the vehicle, apply steady pressure on

the brake pedal with your foot, and do not pump the brakes when

the anti-lock braking system (ABS) becomes active. The ABS per-

forms best when steady pressure is applied to the brake pedal.

Pumping the brakes will increase the stopping distance.

2.3.5 Electric Power Steering (EPS) System

The vehicle is equipped with an electric power steering system,

which helps the steering action be light and smooth. Power steer-

ing is automatically activated after the vehicle is started.

If the EPS indicator light comes on, the EPS system is faulty and

requires immediate attention. Do not drive the vehicle until it is

repaired.

2.4 Driving Tips

2.4.1 Weather and Cruising Range

Temperature changes in the operating environment affect the

high voltage battery capacity. Colder temperatures cause a

decrease in the battery capacity and a corresponding decrease in

the cruising range of the vehicle. This is normal and should be

expected. Use of the air conditioning or heating system will also

affect the cruising range.

NOTICE

At low temperatures, the vehicle performance will be reduced

until the battery comes up to temperature through either pre-

conditioning (charging) or driving.
