1. A ground engaging vehicle, comprising:
- a frame;
an engine supported by said frame, said engine operable at a rotational speed, said engine including a throttle;
a controller in communication with said engine;
an accelerator;
a position sensor associated with said accelerator, said position sensor generating a first signal corresponding to a position of said accelerator; and
an interpreter receiving said first signal from said position sensor, said interpreter device generating a second signal dependent on said first signal, said interpreter device detecting the change in said first signal and communicating said second signal to said controller, said second signal being said first signal modified to not exceed a predetermined rate of change of said speed.

Abstract
A ground engaging vehicle including a frame, an engine, a controller, an accelerator, a position sensor and an interpreter. The engine is supported by the frame and the engine includes a throttle. The controller is in communication with the engine. The position sensor is associated with the accelerator. The position sensor generates a first signal corresponding to a position of the accelerator. The interpreter receives the first signal from the position sensor and generates a second signal dependent upon the first signal. The interpreter communicates the second signal to the controller.
