Patent ID: 6851495

Claim:
A utility vehicle control system for a utility vehicle having a forward-facing driving position and a rearward-facing seat, comprising: a speed-controllable transmission operable to output power to drive a wheel; a creep speed control actuator located adjacent to the rearward-facing seat, said creep speed control actuator operable by an operator to select a desired around speed of the utility vehicle; a creep speed control system operatively connected to said actuator and to said transmission, said creep speed control system converting movement of said speed control actuator to speed change of said transmission and a ground speed sensor that is signal-connected to said creep speed control system, said ground speed sensor outputting a feedback signal proportional to an actual ground speed of said utility vehicle, wherein said creep speed control system utilizes said feedback signal from said around speed sensor to reduce a difference between said desired ground speed selected by said creep speed control actuator and said actual ground speed.
