In a utility vehicle operable in either a runabout or continuous mode, a foot operated accelerator pedal switch activates a main relay to start the engine and to maintain the engine running as long as the pedal is depressed with a key switch in the run position. When the pedal is released with the vehicle operating in the runabout mode, the main relay is deactivated and the engine is killed. Depressing the pedal activates the main relay to start the engine and maintain the engine running. The key switch is connected to latching relay structure and has a neutral run latch position. The latching relay structure is operably connected to the key switch and to a parking brake switch. The neutral run switch position and the latching structure permit continuous running of the engine as long as the parking brake is engaged. To switch from the runabout mode to the continuous run mode, the operator moves the key switch to the special latch position and engages the parking brake to provide an alternate activation path to the main relay. Releasing the parking brake or turning the key switch to the off position will shut off the engine.
