Abstract
A fuel cell vehicle includes a travel prohibition control unit. In the case where a lid sensor detects an open state of a lid, the travel prohibition control unit performs travel prohibition control to prohibit travel of the fuel cell vehicle. In the case where the number of shift control operations has reached a release number within release time, the travel prohibition control unit releases the travel prohibition control, and in the case where the number of shift control operations has not reached the release number within the release time, the travel prohibition control unit continues the travel prohibition control. The release number is two or more.
Claims5
A fuel cell vehicle comprising:
- a lid configured to open/close a connector container unit containing a filling connector for filling a fuel gas tank with a fuel gas;
- a lid sensor configured to detect an open state and a closed state of the lid;
- a shift control unit configured to change a shift position;
- a shift control position determination unit configured to determine a shift control position of the shift control unit;
- a travel prohibition control unit programmed to perform travel prohibition control to prohibit travel of the fuel cell vehicle, in a case where the lid sensor detects the open state of the lid;
- and
- a shift control operation number determination unit configured to determine whether or not a shift control operation number of the shift control unit has reached a predetermined release number within predetermined release time during the travel prohibition control,
- wherein the release number is two or more;
- in a case where the shift control operation number determination unit determines that the shift control operation number has reached the release number within the release time, the travel prohibition control unit is programmed to release the travel prohibition control;
- in a case where the shift control operation number determination unit determines that the shift control operation number has not reached the release number within the release time, the travel prohibition control unit is programmed to continue the travel prohibition control,
- in a case of performing the travel prohibition control, the travel prohibition control unit is programmed to fix the shift position at parking, and
- in a case of releasing the travel prohibition control, the travel prohibition control unit is programmed to release the shift position from being fixed at parking and set the shift position to the shift control position of the shift control unit.
