Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of controlling a vehicle washing mode for a vehicle equipped with shift-by-wire shifting device, may include performing an N-range-off determining step that determines whether a shift lever is in an N-range when an engine stops, performing an ACC determining step that determines whether the vehicle is in an ACC state, and performing a shifting step that shifts a P-range state of a transmission to a N-range state thereof by operating an actuator, when the N-range-off determining step determines that the shift lever is in the N-range when the engine was stopped, and when the ACC determining step determines that the vehicle is in the ACC state.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of controlling a vehicle washing mode for a vehicle equipped with shift-by-wire shifting device, the method comprising: performing an N-range-off determining step determining whether a shift lever is in an N-range, when an engine stops; performing an ACC determining step determining whether the vehicle is in an ACC state; automatically implementing a vertical washing mode when the engine stops and in the N-range to allow for vehicle washing; p…
