Abstract:
A control system of a vehicle has an automatic stop and restart function to automatically stop an engine when automatic stop conditions are fulfilled, and restart the engine when normal restart conditions are fulfilled during automatic stop of the engine, and a notifying function to notify a driver of starting of a preceding vehicle, when an intervehicular distance from the preceding vehicle during stopping becomes equal to or larger than a first predetermined distance. The automatic stop and restart function includes a synchronous restart function of restarting the engine, in synchronization with notification by the notifying function, even when the normal restart conditions are not fulfilled. When notification fixation is detected, the synchronous restart function is restricted, and restart of the engine is inhibited until the normal restart conditions are fulfilled.

Claim (Index 8):
A control method of a control system of a vehicle, comprising:\n (i) automatically stopping an engine when a predetermined automatic stop condition is fulfilled, and restarting the engine when a predetermined restart condition is fulfilled during automatic stop of the engine; (ii) notifying a driver of an own vehicle that a preceding vehicle has started, by setting notification output to ON when an intervehicular distance between the own vehicle that is stopped and the preceding vehicle becomes equal to or larger than a first predetermined distance; (iii) performing a synchronous restart function of restarting the engine that is automatically stopped, in synchronization with notification by the notifying function, even when the predetermined restart condition is not fulfilled; and (iv) restricting the synchronous restart function, and inhibiting the engine from restarting until the predetermined restart condition is fulfilled, when notification fixation with which the notification output is placed in an ON state or an OFF state in a situation other than a preset setting situation is detected.
