Abstract
Vehicular acceleration is sensed and used to set and/or modify at least two of a plurality of control sensitivity values in a manner which increases one with respect to the other and thus avoids the situation wherein a limited amount of servo power is wasted by futile operation of a servo powered arrangement which cannot produce a large control effect under the instant operating conditions and enables an adequate amount servo power to be directed to the operation of a different arrangement which can be effective.
