ABSTRACT:
The present teachings generally include a control system for a vehicle. The control system includes an engine having a minimum engine speed and a maximum engine speed and a transmission having a minimum transmission output speed and a maximum transmission output speed. The control system also includes an accelerator assembly having a movable member movable within a range of motion. The range of motion is defined by a first position based on at least one of the minimum engine speed and the minimum transmission output speed and a second position based on at least one of the maximum engine speed and the maximum transmission output speed. A control module connects to the accelerator assembly. The control module adjusts the second position to be based on at least one of a reduced maximum engine speed, a reduced maximum transmission output speed and combinations thereof, wherein the range of motion of said movable member remains about constant.
