VEHICLE CONTROLLING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle controlling system comprising:
- an engine serving as a power source of a vehicle;
an electric storage device;
an assist device that assists an operation of a driver by consuming power from the electric storage device so as to operate a running device that changes the running condition of the vehicle; and
a starting device that consumes power from the electric storage device so as to start the engine, whereinthe starting device automatically starts the engine based upon a physical quantity concerning the engine and the start of the engine is inhibited while the assist device operates the running device, when the execution of an inertial running in which the engine is stopped to allow the vehicle to run with inertia.

Abstract
A vehicle controlling system includes an engine serving as a power source of a vehicle; an electric storage device; an assist device that assists an operation of a driver by consuming power from the electric storage device so as to operate a running device that changes the running condition of the vehicle; and a starting device that consumes power from the electric storage device so as to start the engine, wherein the starting device automatically starts the engine based upon a physical quantity concerning the engine, and the start of the engine is inhibited while the assist device operates the running device, when the execution of an inertial running in which the engine is stopped to allow the vehicle to run with inertia.

7. The vehicle controlling system according to clam 6, wherein when it is predicted that the physical quantity is not a value for issuing a request of starting the engine, even when the actual operation is made in the running environment in which it is predicted that the operation to the operation member is to be made, the engine is not started.

9. A vehicle controlling system comprising:
-
an engine serving as a power source of a vehicle; an electric storage device; an assist device that assists an operation of a driver by consuming power from the electric storage device so as to operate a running device that changes the running condition of the vehicle; and a starting device that consumes power from the electric storage device so as to start the engine, wherein when at least either one of a running environment in which it is predicted that the operation to the operation member of the running device is to be performed and a running environment in which it is predicted that the assist device is to be operated is present ahead during the execution of an inertial running in which the engine is stopped to allow the vehicle to run with inertia, the engine is started by the starting device before the operation of the assist device. - View Dependent Claims (10)
