Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A control system for a vehicle (1 see fig 1) includes a controller (7 see fig 1) arranged to inhibit acceleration in response to receiving an actuation input signal or signals(s); and subsequently to cease inhibiting acceleration in response to receiving at least one input signal indicative of an operational condition of a brake system (3 see fig 1), when the controller (7) determines that at least one brake system operational condition is met. The invention is aimed at reducing sudden unintended accelerations. Control steps 102, 106 for determining to inhibit a throttle may include determining if a park brake is applied, determining if the vehicle is stationary and determining door opening. Control steps 110, 111 for determining to reinstate throttle control may include determining if a footbrake is applied for a duration and determining if the park brake is released, which would for example involve handbrake release.
