ABSTRACT:
A device and method for operating a vehicle having an operating member that is displaceable with respect to a vehicle body and operated by a driver, controls an acceleration of the vehicle according to a displacement position of the operating member, displaces the operating member to a predetermined initial position when electric power starts to be supplied, and prohibits acceleration of the vehicle according to a displacement position of the operating member when the operating member is being displaced to the initial position until the operating member reaches a position which does not instruct the vehicle to accelerate. With this type of device for operating a vehicle, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from moving against the wishes of the driver at the start of operation.
