Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An auto-stop start system for a vehicle. The auto-stop start system has a control unit with an auto-stop start function controlling stop and start of an engine of the vehicle, and a control device by which control device the auto-stop start function can be temporarily deactivated by an operator of the vehicle. The control unit is configured to reactivate the auto-stop start function after a predetermined duration of a temporary deactivation. The predetermined duration of the temporary deactivation of the auto-stop start function is selectable by means of the control device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An auto-stop start system for a vehicle, the auto-stop start system having a control unit with an auto-stop start function controlling stop and start of an engine of the vehicle, and a control device by which control device the auto-stop start function can be temporarily deactivated by an operator of the vehicle, the control unit being configured to reactivate the auto-stop start function after a predetermined duration of a temporary deactivation, the predetermined duration of the temporary deactivation of the auto-stop start function being selectable by means of the control device, wherein the control unit is configured to reactivate the auto-stop start function after a predetermined distance travelled by the vehicle which distance is selectable by means of the control device. 2. The auto-stop start system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to reactivate the auto-stop start function after a predetermined time period which time period is selectable by means of the control device. 3. The auto-stop start system for a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the time period is selectable within an interval from 5 seconds to 5 minutes. 4. The auto-stop start system for a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the time period is selectable within an interval from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. 5. The auto-stop start system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the distance is selectable within an interval from 50 meters to 1000 meters. 6. The auto-stop start system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the distance is selectable within an interval from 100 meters to 500 meters. 7. The auto-stop start system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined duration of the temporary deactivation is stepwise increasable by means of the control device. 8. The auto-stop start system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the auto-stop start function can be turned off and on by means of the control device. 9. The auto-stop start system for a vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the temporary deactivation of the auto-stop start function is selectable by holding the control device for a predetermined time period in a position for which the auto-stop start function is turned off. 10. The auto-stop start system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is a button to be pressed for temporarily deactivate the auto-stop start function. 11. A vehicle comprising an auto-stop start system according to claim 1 . 12. A method for controlling an auto-stop start system of a vehicle, the method comprises the steps of temporarily deactivating an auto-stop start function of the auto-stop start system by a control device maneuverable by an operator of the vehicle, and reactivating the auto-stop start function by a control unit after a predetermined duration of a temporary deactivation, and selecting the predetermined duration of the temporary deactivation of the auto-stop start function by means of the control device, wherein reactivating the auto-stop start function after a predetermined distance travelled by the vehicle which distance is selectable by means of the control device. 13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein reactivating the auto-stop start function after a predetermined time period which time period is selectable by means of the control device.
