  • Patent number: 9611795
    Abstract: A PM-ECU configured to control a drive torque of a vehicle is configured to be stopped in response to a driver's operation of a start switch and then activated in response to a driver's re-operation of the start switch. The PM-ECU is configured to be activated and place a restriction on the drive torque of the vehicle, in response to a re-operation of the start switch after the PM-ECU is stopped in response to an operation of the start switch. The PM-ECU is configured to remove the restriction on the drive torque in response to a reduction of an operation amount by which an accelerator pedal is operated.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8814749
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an accelerator pedal, a drive device and an electronic control unit (ECU). The drive device generates driving force for driving a wheel on the basis of an operation amount of the accelerator pedal. The ECU, while the vehicle is travelling in a ready-off state, prohibits a shift into a ready-on state until the operation amount of the accelerator pedal once becomes lower than a predetermined value.
