Claim 15:
16. A system comprising:
an accelerometer disposed on a vehicle and configured to measure acceleration values of the vehicle in one, two, or three dimensions while the vehicle is traveling over off-road terrain; and
a logic device configured to perform operations comprising:
determine that a first acceleration value of the acceleration values measured by the accelerometer disposed on the vehicle exceeds a first acceleration threshold, and
disable a start-stop system of the vehicle based on the first acceleration value exceeding the first acceleration threshold, such that the start-stop system is inhibited from stopping the engine when the first acceleration value exceeds the first acceleration threshold,
wherein the first acceleration value exceeds the first acceleration threshold because the vehicle is traveling over the off-road terrain.
