Abstract: Various embodiments of a grounds maintenance vehicle are disclosed. The grounds maintenance vehicle can include an electronic control unit (ECU) in electrical communication with a transmission control input, clutch, parking brake, and OP switch of the vehicle. In response to a pre-defined operator activity, the ECU is adapted to manipulate the clutch from an engaged state to a disengaged state, while an engine of the vehicle remains in an operative state, when the transmission control input is in a neutral state and the OP switch changes from an on state to an off state.
Abstract translation: 公开了地面维修车辆的各种实施例。 地面维护车辆可以包括与车辆的变速器控制输入,离合器,驻车制动器和OP开关电连通的电子控制单元(ECU)。 响应于预先定义的操作者活动,当变速器控制输入处于中立状态时,ECU适于将离合器从接合状态操纵到分离状态,而车辆的发动机保持在工作状态; OP开关从开状态变为关状态。
