Abstract

A multi-wheeled vehicle has an electric parking brake (EPB) responsive to a control signal to selectably apply braking following parking of the vehicle. An input element generates a command signal in response to manual actuation by a person outside the parked vehicle. A controller validates the command signal and, if valid, then generates the control signal to temporarily release braking so the vehicle can be moved a short distance in the parking area.

Description

The vehicle parking characteristic of external controllable
Background technology
The movability of the power actuated vehicle that present invention relates in general to park; And more specifically; Relate to from the outside and use drg or the control of other vehicle movements that parks cars, in the safety that keeps the vehicle interior article, to allow vehicle to move and to improve safety in such moving process and when unattended.
Braking gearshift interlocking (BSI) function; Also be called as drg shift of transmission interlocking (BTSI); It is a kind of anti-running theft function commonly used; It partly is locked in the Parking position with the automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter gear level of transmission gear scope selection mechanism, so that it can only just can be released when ignition lock places operation or enable position---therefore need ignition key.As the insurance that prevents that further non-expection from moving, discharge gear level from the Parking position and also need depress (i.e. starting) vehicle braked pedal.When fastening and leave vehicle, before the permission ignition key removed from ignition lock, conventional BTSI system further needed transmission shift lever to place the Parking position.The laws and regulations requirement of a lot of judicial districts has such interlock, like the FMVSS 114 (FMVSS 114) of the U.S..
Typical B TSI system uses the electromagnetism return stop pin of spring-advance in the selection mechanism of gear scope, it prevents that gear level from moving apart (promptly shifting out) Parking position.Conventional transmission gear scope is decided to be PRNDL, comprises Parking, reversing, neutral, driving, low speed.BTSI interlocking magnet coil and stop pin are optionally forbidden or are permitted by the Parking position to non-Parking position change (i.e. reversing, neutral, go and low speed).If electronic system fault or magnet coil discharge the lock pin malfunction, according to FMVSS 114 and the most of similar rules in the whole world, allow selectable, the mechanical manual override of use, and in maker is included in it usually.Yet, in order to keep some the antitheft attributes wanted and prevention customer its non-maintainability being used, FMVSS 114 can only or operate through instrument or key use with most of similar laws and regulations requirement manual override designs.Be difficult to use and seldom use because the manual override mechanism of " keeping in repair special-purpose " is defined as, hardware is typically designed to and can only stands low frequency (promptly low working cycle) use.If frequent the use perhaps used by non-trained service personnel, the manual override mechanism of the maintenance usefulness that these are conventional possibly be easy to damage.
Because economical manages with complexity, the vehicle manufacturer hopes the mono-hardware design is used for specific vehicle usually, no matter where this vehicle sells the world market.Yet, on demand, relevant laws and regulations and the consumer behaviour relevant, have significant regional difference with some hardware (the for example override of the maintenance usefulness of BTSI system and its machinery).The scope of this species diversity extends to the judicial district that those a lot of drivers need daily use overrides and would rather delete BTSI from the judicial district of the override of the maintenance usefulness of forbidding comprising machinery.For example, some markets in South East Asia, the car theft of slipping does not often take place.Therefore, do not implement the corresponding regulations of regulation BTSI system.In addition, there are the not enough characteristics of long-term parking space in a lot of urban districts of this area.In a lot of such places, formed convention, and often be asked to double parking (promptly along the edge, street with in parking area; Become two parallel rows); To stop that simultaneously car places non-Parking position (being neutral) locking through making change-speed box, the Parking Brake of vehicle is closed, and wheel is in alignment; So that the driver of other vehicles can push them open as required, with near the parking stall that is stopped---no matter be when arriving or leaving.Because most of South East Asia vehicle comprises manual shift transmission, and do not have BTSI or other to prevent the function of neutral Parking, this custom so developed easily.Yet this consumer behaviour has been moved in the middle of the driver of the automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter market part that this area increases gradually.Be equipped with the BTSI that meets FMVSS 114 regulations of standard and the driver of the automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter vehicle of the override of the maintenance usefulness of machinery,, be forced to and use this override for the purpose of their " neutral " Parking.This has caused excessively using relevant problem with manual override, and manual override is defined as the low working cycle of only support, the special-purpose use of maintenance.In addition, the inconvenience of the designability of using with instrument or key of FMVSS 114 regulation has caused customer's being discontented with its human engineering and ease for use.
PCT patent application PCT/US10/21303 discloses a kind of configurable deceleration of electrons gearshift interlocking override, wherein the chaufeur of vehicle can in docking process, select vehicle whether with transmission for vehicles be placed at he not situation under permission other people move the state (being keyless neutral position) of vehicle.After taking out key, chaufeur is had an opportunity the change-speed box retaining (so vehicle can move) that stops that swaps out in a time window.If in this time window, accomplish, then vehicle will be in needs to use the activation key to unclamp in the state of interlocking.So when not needing vehicle movably (for example not being double parking) during ability, the anti-theft protection that can be kept perfectly.On the other hand, in the time must maybe need making vehicle be in removable state, it can place the neutral position so that change-speed box does not stop mobile.
When using manual override (cause wheel of vehicle freely to rotate and do not receive the obstruction of change-speed box), it is unattended or manual mobile when malfunctioning that the vehicle driver or the vehicle owner must consider to slip the possibility of car-no matter be.Typically, chaufeur only just stops the vehicle accidental shifting that wheel (as with timber wedge, fragment of brick or other bigger objects) is parked with prevention when the gradient needs.In some cases, because feasible being difficult to of the vehicle weight on the steep slope maybe can not realize manually moving (and stoping wheel can't stop mobile) use of this meeting limit manual override.Alternatively, chaufeur can determine to engage parking brake and make vehicle be in released state so that the people of parking attendant or other expectation moving vehicles uses parking brake when they need moving vehicle.Perhaps, the chaufeur or the vehicle owner do not want under the release situation, to hinder wheel and park cars.In addition, maybe not can always there be suitable wheel to stop when needed.In addition, the stopping once more by someone completion beyond the chaufeur or the vehicle owner of the wheel after moving, and can not accomplish with satisfactory way.
Summary of the invention
The present invention has following advantage: can not engage parking brake when parking and chaufeur are not kept an eye on when change-speed box is in neutral shift range and vehicle interior locking, allow other people to unclamp parking brake by outside vehicle without key simultaneously.
In one aspect of the invention, multi-wheeled vehicle comprises electric parking brake (EPB), and it is in response to control signal brake optionally behind vehicle parking.Input element produces command signal in response to the manual actuation that the external staff that parks cars makes.The controller verification command signal and, if effectively, then produce control signal with temporary transient release the brake so that vehicle can move very short distance in parking area.At another fermentation of the present invention, this external control extends to be influenced vehicle ambulant other " line traffic control (by-wire) " system turns to, throttle, the control of change-speed box scope and electric propulsion-movability and the safety that park cars with further reinforcement.

The specific embodiment
The present invention has used a kind of control to be called the novel method of the conventional apparatus of electric parking brake (EPB).Parking brake (mechanical parking drg in the past or newer EPB) representative type activates and stops from vehicle interior single manual actuation interface such as brake rod.EPB can easily process other driving interfaces or the switch that can add are economically made response.In the present invention, any vehicle electric switch that can use from the outside numeric security keyboard of spoon input (as be used to not have) can be used to control EPB to the change of simple software and hardware with the mode green phase of novelty.If, then can add special-purpose external switch and be used to control EPB if do not have existing external switch or switch to be in undesired position or the configuration in the specific vehicle design.Since no matter vehicle lock or unlocked anyone can use external switch, freely slip the car state to allow other people manually mobile so vehicle no longer need be changed to.As the safety that increases, when configuration external control of the present invention-particularly when vehicle places " neutral " state, the EPB activation can with driver door's light switch and/or time meter self interlocking.
Except the protection vehicle slips when unattended the car; The present invention also uses the EPB from external control; This can provide extra enhanced features; Comprise: 1) progressive, in check the unclamping of EPB when the startup vehicle moves; 2) after reaching maximum vehicle speed automatically EPB activate again or fluctuate (wherein control logic confirm unserviced slide car vehicle and the manual moving vehicle of having a mind between difference), and 3) thereby EPB once more application controls reduce the personal risk and allow vehicle to be parked in the position of expectation more accurately to replace the effort that manually stops.Be used for the partial engagement control (promptly can only opening fully or close fully) that any of these is strengthened characteristic if EPB lacks, the then motor-drive pump of service brake usage and ELEC Electronic Valve gate control (generally being used to provide electronic stability control (ESC) system to brake) can be used for these dynamic brake enhancement function and stop and EPB engages once more up to vehicle.
EPB can contact external switch through single and unclamp (supposing not stop vehicle to move in addition, when stopping retaining as being in when transmission for vehicles).Alternatively, can use " pinning " pattern, wherein manually external switch must maintain so that when moving vehicle, EPB is unclamped and keep being in " closing " state.Unclamping EPB can be condition with the particular order of switch drive also, if this order can be informed the people of expectation moving vehicle.
After vehicle moves, using EPB once more can be started by some diverse ways.For example, singly touch the application once more that activation can trigger EPB by what one or more external switches produced.Alternatively, the application once more of EPB can be unclamping for the first time back one section preset time delay back startup, so that excessive moving do not occur.In another embodiment, using once more of instant or time delay can start unclamping initial " pinning " switch activator (promptly unclamping EPB) afterwards.Using EPB once more also can be by other Event triggered that can appear in other Vehicular systems, the too fast speed of confirming like the object detection in the object induction system, by the velocity response system, or from whole lock instructions of long-range input transceiver.
The present invention can also sense vehicle park the slope on surface, if stop further to move through using EPB once more when preventing that unclamping of EPB is in dangerous situation or runs into steep slope.If vehicle is equipped with the warning system with motional induction, then can SELF CL during alarm algorithm when EPB unclamps to avoid false alarm.If vehicle is equipped with the line traffic control gear shift control, then EPB unclamps and can also couple from the automatic variation that parking keeps off neutral with the automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter scope of shifting gears.EPB unclamps the activation that can also be accompanied by signal head such as loudspeaker or vehicle parking lamp and comes the feedback that provides EPB to unclamp to the user.
Steering gear can be locked in the potential problem in the single position when further strengthening having overcome vehicle parking.All there are the rules of requirement lock for steering column the not every judicial district, and maker uses electric powered steering post lock in some cases.Therefore, when Steering gear was not locked or locked electronically and can temporarily not lock, the present invention increased the possibility that when manual moving vehicle, changes steering angle.Preferably, the embodiment of this reinforcement has used electric boosting steering system (EPAS) and enlarges and outsidely do not have the control of spoon vehicle to allow the user and use existing or the external switch that adds or other outside available man-machine interface (HMI) are regulated steering angle electronicly.One embodiment comprises and use two buttons that are not used in EPB control on the numeric security keyboard, play a role as being used for " pinning " key that left and right sides steered wheel moves.After setting the steering angle of desired locations, steering angle can be with through continuing power to be applied to the EPAS system or keeping through engaging electric powered steering post lock (if configuration) once more when the moving vehicle subsequently.
Another reinforcement of the present invention used elec. vehicle to drive in case produce motorized motions vehicle move forward and backward (promptly when vehicle is elec. vehicle) like hybrid power or all-electric vehicle.Use switch that external control, battery electric power can be used for can contacting through the outside or HMI to reach backward self-driving vehicle forward.
Similarly, if engine starting relay, electronic engine Throttle Opening Control and the control of " line traffic control gearshift " change-speed box scope of module controls are housed, then can start and move on-electric or light hybrid vehicle through control before and after outside similarly.In arbitrary embodiment that these move forward and backward, closed loop control is more suitable in this moving process, transmitting accurate, controlled acceleration/accel and end speed.With similar in the use recently of the EPB that conduct on the vehicle of hand-operated transmission " ramp keeps (hill-hold) " device is housed, the activation of EPB and unclamp and can promote surpassing moving of motorized motions on the channel of manual locomotivity slipping car between the input of effective instruction signal automatically through stoping vehicle.
Any specific vehicle can comprise above-mentioned and any subclass that moves relevant characteristic, but they preferably turn to and/or drive controlling before by the order adding of braking.No matter what the subclass of the vehicle parking function of the external controllable that specific vehicle comprises is, these functions all promote manually do not have moving of spoon vehicle.Any single characteristic in this stack features is opened or closes by software control in this characteristic optimization ground so that the OEM/ customer of vehicle/chaufeur/vehicle owner can set soft switch in controller HMI.When parking cars, chaufeur therefore can be in parking period the appropriate balance of decision between the safety of vehicle and interior items thereof and other people are based on the ability of stand moving vehicle.Although can be designed as through line traffic control gear shift control (if configuration), outside EPB control comes to control simultaneously the selection of change-speed box scope; And it is unnecessary that the parking retaining that makes change-speed box is locked in when parking EPB; But preferably; Thereby the external control of all unlatchings of the present invention all will be opened or close (promptly " stop and keep off "=close, " neutral "=unlatching) based on the range position that vehicle is placed by chaufeur as a whole protected them to own through the key entry of single easy steps.
Because essentiality of the present invention is driven by the difference of the distinctive rules in market and user's configuration, so the preferred embodiment of the invention will influence any particular module that the relevant vehicle-mounted software of the complete set of control module brings the vehicle of on all world markets, selling respectively.Control logic be provided with the device of being opened depend on can set be used to guarantee abidance by rule and, as long as allow, just consider one or more configurable soft bits, mark or the code of customer's hobby.This configuration bit can comprise vehicle assembling factory-program code of being used for country of destination, be used to show the customer's of customer self hobby software switch (its can in the setting Anywhere of manufacturings/transportation/vehicle use), and can monitor control dynamically labeled by the GPS of position, the current judicial district.
With reference now to Fig. 1,, vehicle 10 comprises and wheel of vehicle 12 and 13 bonded assembly electric parking brake (EPB) actuators 11 that it is brake activation power in a conventional manner.Vehicle interior provides manual control panel 14, and it allows the chaufeur application equally in a conventional manner or unclamps EPB11.Internal piloting 14 can the EPB of being connected to actuator 11 as shown in the figure or can be connected to independent control module 15 alternatively, and it is given to EPB11 with control signal.
In this preferred embodiment of the present invention, EPB actuator 11 and the external switch that does not have spoon input keyboard 16 through independent control module 15, is connected like Body control module, so that use EPB in outside to be provided function.Therefore, control module 15 is connected with the no spoon input keyboard 16 with independent button 17-20, separately button 17-20 allow usually security password manual input in case based on secret button sequence with the vehicle release.When being in the parking mood, these safety of dual use and EPB function button can accomplish between two functions, to switch through the predetermined combination that presses the button simultaneously (as before pressing a left side/right button simultaneously or pressing simultaneously/back button).Because control module 15 is judged the safety keypad function usually; So this embodiment not only avoids increasing the extra leads that is connected to EPB11 (directly connecting from keyboard 16), and this module also more possibly have the existing use that is used to verify the necessary signals of this kind external control requirement with other.Alternatively or additionally, control module 15 can open switch 21 with other external switches such as boot or grip handle switch (not shown) is connected, so that these other switch also can be controlled the EPB function.
In control module 15, use the software of new or existing external switch and increase; The present invention can provide the aux. controls of traditional E PB module 11 to provide basic EPB functional, and wherein braking can temporarily be unclamped so that vehicle is moved very short distance in parking area.Preferably, the controller verification command signal that is received from external switch (being input element) is to guarantee allowing functional and vehicle is in suitable state.
Control module 15 can be connected with other Vehicular systems so that the functional of various reinforcements is provided.For example, power system control module (PCM) 22 is connected so that the vehicle speed data signal to be provided with control module 15.PCM22 also can connect with the inclination sensor (not shown) so that control module 15 provides the slope of additional tilt data-signal with the identification vehicle environmental mutually.Object detection module 23 uses remote sensing (like radar) to come inspected object and the imminent potential collision of alerting driver.If run into object, object information can offer controller 15 so that use EPB once more by module 23, and seeing below specifies.
Control module 15 preferably is configured to verify command signal; Whether it is based on the parking function property that whether allows EPB (EPB-only) only (promptly being in neutral EPB engages) in the specific judicial district and chaufeur or other personnel that vehicle is responsible for and has determined to use various park relevant with function, unclamps like EPB.So, man-machine interface (HMI) 24 (it can comprise and showing and manual input switch) is provided so that various soft switch or the mark that the people in the vehicle uses in can configuration control module 15.In addition, config memory 25 comprises whether the mark that can be set by vehicle manufacturer or dealer in advance is in the various functional judicial districts of permission with the expression vehicle.Config memory 25 can be positioned at any other appropriate module of control module 15 or vehicle.It can also be connected to gps receiver 26 so that the database matching in functional config memory 25 of the position that makes the vehicle 10 that Current GPS confirms and the permission of the various judicial district.
Functional relevant with turning to of increase, directional drive 27 is connected with 29 with front-wheel 28.Actuator 27 receives 30 controls of steering-by-wire Setup Controller.Steering-by-wire Setup Controller 30 is connected with external keyboard 16, directly or preferably connect through control module 15, and it is fit to the effective input of response so that the change steering angle.The checking of signal can be carried out based on the software mark from HMI24 and config memory 25.Under the situation that electron beam lock 34 is installed, it can suitably be controlled by steering-by-wire Setup Controller 30 or control module 15.
The override change-speed box lugs in the whole process of vehicle parking not in order to carry out parking assisting function property, control module 15 can be connected with transmission control module (TCM) 32.When TCM32 is line traffic control electric gear change system (be line traffic control PRNDL scope select) a part of; And if the judicial district is not when requiring the shift of transmission interlocking; The then outside instruction that produces can be used for temporarily change-speed box being put from parking shifting-position being transformed into the neutral that is used to carry out manual parking action, perhaps drives or stops power-assisted moving forward and backward.
Control module 15 can also be connected with car loudspeaker or other signal heads (producing the device of perceived signal like parking light or any other) so that the people who promotes vehicle for attempt provides feedback.The perceptible information of the instruction request that this has been verified makes the user can before physical effort promotes vehicle, correctly estimate braking mode.Be used for sensing the circumference alarm 34 that when motion produces the motion sensor of alarm parking cars if vehicle 10 is equipped with to have, then provide being connected between control module 15 and the alarm 34 to give the alarm so that in the parking assisting function process, suppress.
Holistic approach of the present invention is represented in Fig. 2.In step 35, carry out inspection to determine whether to open any external control function by controller.If no, then this process is accomplished in step 36.Otherwise controller is waited for the input that receives in step 37.In case receive just its validity of inspection in step 38 of input.If invalid, then controller is waited for next incoming signal in step 37.Checking in the step 38 can be preferably be made up of from the incoming signal of specific external switch inspection, satisfying certain conditions, as remains among " pinning " of the present invention embodiment.If effectively, then in step 39, carry out corresponding instruction.The specific input element that rely on to use (whether being the switch of carrying out a plurality of functions promptly, during like the button on the keyboard safe in utilization), the checking of signal can comprise based on the button of pressing and the order that presses the button will instruct decoding.
Fig. 3 has shown the button signal that produces the command signal that is sent to control module and by the relation between the response EPB state of control module control.In Fig. 3 A, button signal starts 41 constantly.In " switch fluctuation (Switch Debounce) " embodiment, must button signal be kept preset time t 1So that it is identified as effective instruction.In Fig. 3 A, hold button compares t up to appearing at 1The moment 42 that time is long.When arriving t 1The time, the EPB state becomes Fig. 3 B 43 constantly releasing orientations from engagement state.In this embodiment, drg continues to unclamp, up to 44 activation next time of button signal constantly.In 45 moment, the EPB state is got back to engagement state and is received button signal (supposing to ignore switch fluctuation and signal processing time) constantly 44 simultaneously.
In another embodiment shown in Fig. 3 C, the releasing orientation of EPB can continue preset time t 2Therefore, the EPB state constantly unclamps and engages once more automatically constantly 47 46.
In " pinning " embodiment, button signal must keep when opening independent function.Shown in Fig. 3 D, button is pressed and is appeared at 41 ' constantly.At this constantly, shown in Fig. 3 E, EPB unclamps constantly and keeps unclamping up to 45 ' constantly 43 ', and this moment, button unclamped in the 42 ' moment.
Shown in Fig. 3 F and 3G, can press external switch up to the time introducing delay (i.e. " delay drives (Delayed Actuation) " pattern) of unclamping between the EPB state.Therefore, the user presses the button and produces the releasing of brake instruction in step 48.Predetermined t delay time 3Measured by control module, EPB unclamps 49 then.This postpone to allow people actual unclamp EPB before mobilizing function and get into the position that promotes vehicle.
Unclamp and/or once more brake application can also carry out with the mode of gradual change.Fig. 4 representes an embodiment, is wherein illustrated by curve 50 at the braking percentum that is totally released between (0%) and the full engagement (100%).When activating the EPB release function, braking reduces in the drg percentum up to reaching zero 51 generally.Speed with the increase of velocity curve 52 expression manually promotes vehicle.In view of purpose of safety, threshold speed 53 can be made as suitable value.When velocity curve 52 surpassed threshold value 53, braking was used 54 by controller automatically once more.Speed reduces to carry out up to speed step by step gets back to below the threshold value.Drop to threshold value enough big below after, braking can be unclamped and can get back to complete 100% 56 and unclamp 55 again.Response braking function overtime or respond other inputs to stop unclamping (another switch activator that causes like the people by outside vehicle or from the cognitive disorders thing of another Vehicular system or discern the input of excessive slope) recovers braking fully 57.The application once more of EPB gradual change can be provided alternatively.
Be shown in further detail preferable methods of the present invention among Fig. 5.In step 60, in step 60, detect " EPB closes " or unclamp instruction.In step 61, carry out and confirm whether too precipitous inspection is so that safety is unclamped EPB to vehicle environmental.If too precipitous, then finish in step 62 process.Inspection in the step 61 can also comprise other situation, the obstacle that stops like detection.Command detection among Fig. 5 in the hypothesis step 60 comprises the checking of instruction.
If situation is acceptable to unclamping EPB, then uses signal head to make and confirm and closed safe alarm (preferably being the part of safety system) based on motion detection in step 63.Can in step 64, introduce optional delay before the release the brake.In step 65, upgrade braking amount from EPB (and/or maintenance drg).Therefore, braking can progressively change between being totally released and activating fully.In addition, if desired, the braking amount can fluctuate in some cases.When the EPB drg is in loosen mode, make the various inspections that are used to determine whether once more brake.Therefore, in step 66 with car speed and threshold speed T sRelatively.If greater than threshold value, then in step 71, use the EPB braking once more.If speed less than threshold value, is then made inspection to determine whether to exceed maximum time TT in step 67.If then in step 71, use EPB once more.Otherwise, make inspection to confirm whether situation indicates to lose control of one's vehicle in step 68.Out of control in order to detect, controller is preferably monitored acceleration/accel, speed and the shift length of vehicle in the process that braking is temporarily unclamped.If any one in these surpasses for the normal hand motor vehicle moves the predetermined value of formulation, then think situation out of control, and in step 71, use the EPB drg once more.If be not in out-of-control condition, then make inspection to confirm manually once more whether application instruction is made by external switch in step 69.If then in step 71, use EPB once more.If not, then in step 70 inspection any other force the situation that vehicle stops (needing the relevant detection of obstacle that prevent the close velocity of braking force or surpass the acceleration/accel of predeterminated level) as having in the vehicle route.If these other situation do not meet, then in step 71, use the EPB drg once more and this process is accomplished in step 72.If other situation meet, then return step 65 further to revise the braking amount in case of necessity.
Fig. 6 shows the method for the reinforcement that allows the adjusting steering angle.In step 75, detect the actv. steering order.In step 76, make inspection to determine whether that activating EPB unclamps.If no, then needn't use to turn to and regulate and this process is accomplished in step 77.If activate EPB, then if necessary unclamp steering lock in step 78.In step 79, the inspection steering order is to confirm that whether effectively it to the current situation (as whether being on the direction that allows further to turn to) that turns to.If effectively, then use EPAS to change predetermined amount to carry out steering angle, represent with x °, be used for " of short duration " embodiment, or be used for the time length of " pinning " embodiment.When the actv. transition request no longer exists, maybe when the parking secondary status is no longer opened, (used EPB once more), steering angle gets back to initial position alternatively and steering lock (if installation) is accomplished 82 in step 81 locking and this process.
In the existed system that does not have the BTSI manual override, the shift of transmission scope can be used the method control shown in Fig. 7.Therefore, the EPB out code detects in step 85.In step 86, make inspection to confirm whether the shift of transmission scope is in neutral.If then only continue operation like preceding method.If the shift of transmission scope is not in neutral, then in step 87, make inspection to determine whether to allow override.Inspection can be depended on the inspection software identification like the described vehicle owner of preamble or maker or dealer's setting.If do not allow override, then this process is accomplished in step 88.Otherwise, in step 89, use the line traffic control shifting system of vehicle that drive range is changed into neutral.The underaction that then stops, gearshift scope will be got back to the retaining (not shown) that stops.
