ABSTRACT:
A control pedal (106,156) may be operably connected for actuating vehicle functions of acceleration (14), forward direction (16) and rearward direction (18). Different portions (108,158, 114,168,120,174) of the pedal control these functions. Each pedal portion (108, 158,114,168,120,174) is biased to return to an inoperative position. Preferably, the pedal includes a main accelerator portion (108,158), a supplemental forward direction portion (114,168) and a supplemental rearward direction portion (120,174). A microswitch (140a,200,140b,202) is preferably positioned for selective contact by each of the supplemental portions (114,168,120,174) of the pedal (106,156).
