  • Patent number: 10549755
    Abstract: A start-stop device initiates an automatic switch-off process of a driving machine in a motor vehicle. The start-stop device is designed to automatically switch off the driving machine when predefined switch-off conditions are met. The start-stop device has a stop coordinator which identifies a switch-off behavior suitable for the switch-off process on the basis of available information and ensures that the identified switch-off behavior is implemented when an automatic switch-off process is initiated.
