Quick Start Guide

1. Check the Car:

• Make sure you’re in the correct vehicle by checking the signage and parking space.

2. Unlocking the Car:

• Smartcard: Hold your smartcard over the reader in the driver’s side windscreen corner until it flashes green.
• App: Alternatively, use the app (may take a moment to connect via Bluetooth or mobile network).

Note: The car will auto-logout a few minutes after stopping the engine. If the car won’t start, log back in.

3. Starting the Car:

• Ignition Key: Found in one of the front compartments
• Important: Use the key only to start/stop the engine, never to lock/unlock the car. Always leave the key inside the car.

4. Locking the Car:

• Use the smartcard or app to lock the car; check for five green flashes.

Car-Specific Features

VW Golf Bluemotion (Vera):

• Parking brake: No handbrake lever, just a switch near the central cup holder. Pull the switch up to put the brake on, press the brake pedal and push the switch down to release. Easier to use Auto Stop, see below.
• If AUTO STOP is on, the handbrake will auto-apply & release. You must have your seat belt on to be able to switch Auto Stop on or off.

Please return the cars in the state you would wish to find them.  We do check and clean them periodically, but it really helps for everyone to do their part.  Don’t smoke or vape and please take away used parking receipts, brush off the seats and shake out the mats if they need it. Feel free to vacuum or use a car wash!

e-cocars is run for the benefit of its members.  Managed by a small, local co-operative, Ashburton Co-operative Transport, e-cocars is not part of a larger organisation or commercial enterprise.  We pioneered car clubs in small rural communities and added a telematic car club so as to provide a service based right in the middle of town.
