Abstract
The invention relates to a functionality limiting system (110) for a motorized vehicle (100) provided with a motion system, comprising: first sensor means (101) adapted to sense if the power is on and providing a first sensing signal; second sensor means (102a-102d) adapted to sense one or several operational parameters relative to at least one part of the vehicle (100) and providing a second sensing signal; deactivation means (103) adapted to verify if a deactivation condition is met and providing a deactivation signal; a control unit (104) in communication with the first and second sensor means (101; 102a-102d) and the deactivation means (103), the control unit (104) receiving said first and second sensing signals and said deactivation signal, the control unit (104) being adapted to control the speed and/or the power supplied by the motion system in response to said first and second sensing signals and said deactivation signal, in such a manner that said speed and/or said power is limited in an activated mode of the system and is not limited in a deactivated mode of the system.
