Abstract
A control system for a vehicle may include a brake assembly having a brake actuator that operates brakes to apply braking forces to wheels of the vehicle when actuated, a propulsion system having a propulsion actuator operable to apply propulsive forces to at least some of the wheels when actuated, a hand-operated actuator, and processing circuitry operably coupled to the hand-operated actuator, the propulsion system, and the brake assembly to apply a balancing brake force to balance the propulsive forces generated based on actuation of the propulsion actuator while the vehicle is below a threshold speed and both the hand-operated actuator is actuated and the brake actuator is not actuated, and release the braking forces when the hand-operated actuator is released.
