Claims14
A vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of ground engaging members;
- a frame supported by the plurality of ground engaging members;
- a suspension coupled between a first ground engaging member of the plurality of ground engaging members and the frame, the suspension including at least one adjustable shock absorber having at least one adjustable damping characteristic;
- a first user input supported by the frame;
- a second user input supported by the frame;
- a display supported by the frame;
- and
- a controller operably coupled to each of the first user input and the second user input, the display, and the at least one adjustable shock absorber, the first user input and the second user input operable to cause the controller to adjust the vehicle between a plurality of operating modes, and
- wherein the controller, when processing a set of actuations of at least one of the first user input or the second user input, is configured to:
- in response to the set of actuations comprising a first actuation of the first user input, cause the display of at least one operating mode of the plurality of operating modes on the display;
- and
- in response to the set of actuations comprising the first actuation and a second actuation of the first user input, altering a current operating mode of the vehicle from a first operating mode of the plurality of operating modes to a second operating mode of the plurality of operating modes.

A method of controlling a vehicle including a display, the method comprising:
- receiving a first actuation at a first user input at a first time;
- displaying on the display at least one operating mode of a plurality of operating modes, the current operating mode being a first operating mode;
- and
- in response to receiving a second actuation at the first user input after the displaying of the at least one operating mode and prior to a timeout threshold:
- altering, by a controller of the vehicle, the current operating mode to be a second operating mode different from the first operating mode.
