- a controller being configured to;
receive an input indicative of a request to change a vehicle state from a fully operational mode to a restricted mode;
transmit a first control signal indicative of a request to limit at least one of vehicle speed and vehicle acceleration;
monitor a distance traveled by a driver when the vehicle is in the restricted mode;

Abstract
A device for controlling a restricted mode of a vehicle is provided. The device includes a controller that is configured to receive an input indicative of a request to change a vehicle state from a fully operational mode to a restricted mode and to transmit a first control signal indicative of a request to limit at least one of vehicle speed and vehicle acceleration. The controller is further configured to monitor a distance traveled by a driver when the vehicle is in the restricted mode and to compare the distance traveled to a predetermined distance limit. The controller is further configured to transmit a second control signal to remove the request to limit the at least one of the vehicle speed and the vehicle acceleration in response to determining that the distance traveled exceeds the predetermined distance limit.
