A control system (208) for enabling deactivation of vehicle creep in a vehicle (10) with an electric machine (212) and/or an engine (202), the control system comprising one or more controllers (300), wherein the control system is configured to: enable vehicle creep (402) so that wheel drive torque can reach a first value greater than zero without a driver load request and without a brake request, wherein enabling vehicle creep comprises the engine being active while connected to a vehicle wheel (FL, FR) or requesting drive torque from the electric machine; monitor for a vehicle creep deactivation signal (404); and in response to the vehicle creep deactivation signal, inhibit vehicle creep (412) so that wheel drive torque cannot reach the first value without a driver load request, and wherein inhibiting vehicle creep comprises causing disconnection (414) of the engine, at least in part, from the vehicle wheel (FL, FR) or not requesting the drive torque from the electric machine.
