Patent Images
1. A multiple ignition system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a power source;
a starter motor;
governing means for signaling or restricting operation of the vehicle circuitry under predetermined circumstances;
a keyed-ignition system electrically connected between the power source and the starter motor;
a first key which interconnects with the keyed-ignition system, such that the vehicle is fully functional when operated using the first key; and
a second key which interconnects with the keyed-ignition system and the governing means, such that the vehicle is not fully functional when operated using the second key.

Abstract
A twin ignition system for automotive vehicles and the like is disclosed and claimed. Ignition system #1 comprises a known ignition system which allows electrical access to the engine starter, and allows full function of all facilities with which the vehicle is equipped. Ignition system #2 has its own subsystems which can be set to control vehicle speed and/or other vehicle operating parameters. Each system can be accessed by a key which does not allow access to the other ignition system.
