Patent Images
1. A vehicle, comprisinga plurality of ground engagement members;
- a frame supported by the plurality of ground engagement members;
a power system supported by the frame and operatively coupled to at least one of the plurality of ground engagement members to power movement of the vehicle;
a controller operatively coupled to the power system to control an operation of the power system;
at least one user input device operatively coupled to the controller; and
at least one user output device operatively coupled to the controller;
wherein the controller includes a vehicle security module having a secure once mode of operation and a secure all mode of operation, during a current start-up of the power system the operation of the power system being in a limited state until a valid security code is provided to the controller through the at least one user input, the reception of the valid security code in the secure once mode of operation disables the vehicle security module for the current start-up and all subsequent start-ups of the power system and permits the operation of the power system in a normal operating state and the reception of the valid security code in the secure all mode of operation disables the vehicle security module for only the current start-up and permits the operation of the power system in the normal operating state.
