Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle control system includes a boost device, a braking unit, a cell motor, and a start operating unit. The boost device boosts a braking force applied by a foot brake to a vehicle with an output voltage from a battery. The braking unit, which is different than the foot brake, brakes the vehicle appropriately and keeps the braking force even in a case that the output voltage is not supplied from the battery, or which braking unit does not require the output voltage from the battery. The cell motor is driven by an output voltage from the battery and starts the engine. The start operation unit starts the cell motor, wherein the vehicle control system has a function not to start the cell motor when the start operation unit is operated, unless the braking unit is in operation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle control system, comprising: a boost device by which a braking force applied by a foot brake to a vehicle is boosted with an output voltage from a battery, a parking brake device other than the foot brake, which braking unit brakes the vehicle appropriately and keeps the braking force even in a case that the output voltage is not supplied from the battery, or which braking unit does not require a power supply from the battery for keeping the braking force, a cell motor which is driven by an output voltage from the battery and starts the engine, a start operation unit which instructs the cell motor to start, and a transmission comprising an automatic transmission or a belt-type continuously variable transmission, wherein the vehicle control system has: a function to provide an operation facilitation indication for encouraging the driver to set the shift lever of the transmission to a parking range, when the vehicle is moving and the foot brake is in operation, a function to start the cell motor irrespective of whether the parking brake device is in operation or not, when the start operation unit is operated and the shift lever of the transmission is set to a parking range, and a function to start the cell motor when the start operation unit is operated, when the shift lever is set to a neutral range and the parking brake device is in operation, on the condition that the vehicle is not moving. 2. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle control system starts the cell motor when the start operation unit is operated, irrespective of whether the parking brake device is in operation or not, when the foot brake is not under operation while the vehicle is moving.
