Abstract
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for controlling an automatic start-stop mechanism for an internal combustion engine. The method comprises providing a turbocharger temperature, comparing the turbocharger temperature with a constant and, if the turbocharger temperature is greater than the constant, deactivating the automatic start-stop mechanism of the internal combustion engine.
Claims17
A method for controlling an automatic start-stop mechanism for an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- providing a turbocharger temperature;
- comparing the turbocharger temperature with a constant;
- and
- if the turbocharger temperature is greater than the constant, deactivating the automatic start-stop mechanism of the internal combustion engine.
A motor vehicle, comprising:
- a turbocharger;
- an internal combustion engine having an automatic start-stop mechanism;
- a control unit having a non-transitory storage means with a computer program product stored thereon, wherein the computer program product is configured to:
- determine a turbocharger temperature;
- compare the turbocharger temperature with a constant;
- and
- deactivate the automatic start-stop mechanism of the internal combustion engine if the turbocharger temperature is greater than the constant.
A computer program product for processing a signal, comprising:
- a tangible storage means readable by a processor and storing instructions for execution by the processor for performing a method comprising:
- providing a turbocharger temperature;
- comparing the turbocharger temperature with a constant;
- and
- if the turbocharger temperature is greater than the constant, deactivating an automatic start-stop mechanism of an internal combustion engine.
