  • Patent number: 10173684
    Abstract: A motor vehicle automatic engaged stop system includes an automatic transmission driving at least one wheel and has at least one brake member preventing wheel rotation when engaged and allowing wheel rotation when disengaged. A controller communicates with each of: the brake member to control the brake member; the automatic transmission to control a condition of the automatic transmission, and with a signal device. A brake pedal in communication with the brake member engages the brake member when depressed by a vehicle operator. After the motor vehicle reaches a zero speed the controller energizes the signal device to notify the vehicle operator to release the brake pedal and maintains a vehicle stopped condition with the brake pedal in a released condition and when the motor vehicle is positioned anywhere between uphill and downhill orientation planes.
