The first and second steering levers are operably coupled to the first and second drive wheels respectively to facilitate turning of the riding lawn care vehicle based on drive speed control of the first and second drive wheels responsive to positioning of the first and second steering levers. The work assembly is operably coupled to the engine to perform a work function responsive to power received from the engine. Each of the first and second steering levers includes a grip portion. At least one of the first steering lever or the second steering lever includes a control module disposed proximate to and separate from the grip portion.
