Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for starting or stopping a motor-driven motor vehicle having motor functions (1) and motor-independent vehicle functions (5) which can be used independently of the type of drive and independently of the type of motor start or motor stop. For a start operation or a stop operation, at least one command to the motor functions (1) to start or stop the motor (15) of the motor vehicle is imparted by the vehicle functions (5) via an interface (10). At least one status datum as to the motor (15) and/or the motor functions (1) is transmitted by the motor functions (1) via the interface (10) to the vehicle functions.

Claims

1. A method for starting or stopping a motor-driven motor vehicle having motor functions and vehicle functions independent of the motor, the method comprising the steps of:

for a start operation or a stop operation, issuing at least one command by said vehicle functions via an interface to said motor functions for starting or stopping the motor of said motor vehicle; and

,

transmitting at least one condition datum as to said motor and/or said motor functions by said motor functions via said interface to said vehicle functions.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said command is issued by said vehicle functions in dependence upon said at least one condition datum of said motor functions.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said command is used as a request for starting or stopping the motor of said motor vehicle.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein a datum as to the start readiness or stop readiness of said motor is used as said at least one condition datum.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein a datum as to the motor rpm is used as said at least one condition datum.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein a datum as to whether the motor runs automatically is used as said at least one condition datum.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein a datum as to whether said motor can start automatically is used as said at least one condition datum.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one command and said at least one condition datum is independently of the type of said motor of said vehicle and the type start or stop operation realized.

9. An arrangement for starting or stopping a motor-driver motor vehicle having motor functions and vehicle functions independent of the motor, the arrangement comprising:

an interface;

for a start operation or a stop operation, means for issuing at least one command by said vehicle functions via said interface to said motor functions for starting or stopping the motor of said motor vehicle; and

,

means for transmitting at least one condition datum as to said motor and/or said motor functions by said motor functions via said interface to said vehicle functions.

10. The arrangement of claim 9, wherein said at least one command and said at least one condition datum is independently of the type of said motor of said vehicle and the type start or stop operation realized.
