A golf car having a hydraulic fluid brake system. The hydraulic fluid brake system is implemented as a disk brake system which is responsive to hydraulic fluid pressure generated from a master cylinder. A brake pedal and associated linkage provides input to a master cylinder to generate a hydraulic fluid pressure to control a brake caliper assembly. The brake pedal has a range of travel, where a first portion of the range defines a service mode of operation and a second portion of the range defines a parking mode of operation. In the parking mode of operation, the brake pedal and linkage engages a detent to maintain application of the brake to provide a parking mode of operation. An accumulator in the brake system provides an input force to maintain hydraulic fluid pressure sufficient to retain a parking mode of operation.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A golf car comprising:a frame supported on a plurality of wheels;a prime mover, the prime mover providing driving force to selected ones of the plurality of wheels to displace the golf car;an integrated brake pedal and accelerator pedal assembly; anda hydraulically operated brake system, the brake system receiving input from the brake pedal and generating an output to control a hydraulically operated braking device,wherein the brake system operates in a normal mode by partially depressing the brake pedal and wherein the brake system operates in a parking mode by depressing the brake pedal further, and wherein when the brake system is in the parking mode, the brake system may be released by depressing one of the brake pedal and accelerator pedals.
