Method of inhibiting the automatic stop control system of the heat engine of a vehicle in the absence of a driver

摘要

A method of controlling the stopping and staffing of a heat engine (2) of a vehicle is such that (i) it is necessary for the vehicle to be in an engine stop request phase, and not in pre-defined operating conditions that oppose the stopping of the engine (2), in order for the engine (2) to be stopped or (ii) it is necessary for the vehicle to be in an engine staff request phase, and not in pre-defined operating conditions that oppose the staffing of the engine (2), in order for the engine to be started. For a given engine stop request phase, the engine (2) can only be stopped or staffed at most a pre-determined number of times.
