Description

The The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a pedal and a control device.

One Focus of the development efforts in the field of automotive technology is in it, to further increase the ease of use. So for example already keyless Access systems and keyless Engine starting systems proposed to allow a vehicle user a comfortable opening of the Vehicle and an equally comfortable engine start.

From the DE 10 2004 024 213 a method for controlling an operation of a motor vehicle is known. An automatic start-stop system comprises an automatic switch-off which causes an automatic switch-off of the internal combustion engine in the presence of a stop condition, and an automatic switch-on which causes an automatic start of the internal combustion engine in the presence of start conditions. A stop condition is when at least one of the following conditions is met at a vehicle speed below a predetermined speed threshold: (a) manual transmission: actuating the clutch and establishing traction or (b) automatic transmission: operating the brake pedal. A start condition exists when, at the same time, the following conditions are met: (c) non-actuation of the clutch and (d) non-actuation of the brake pedal.

Of the Invention is now the object of a technical teaching specify with which a motor vehicle operated even more comfortable can be.

These The object is solved by the features of the independent claim. advantageous Further developments of the invention are the dependent claims remove.

The Accordingly, the invention is also based on the idea of a motor vehicle the switching between two operating states, in particular the states "ignition off" and "ignition one, by one activity effect a pedal. This allows the vehicle operation, in particular switching between the states "ignition off" and "ignition a ", comfortable carried out become.

Preferably For example, a motor vehicle comprises at least one pedal, in particular for one another purpose exists anyway, for example, a brake pedal or a clutch pedal, and a control device, for example a switching device or a processor device, the like is set up that the motor vehicle, in particular the electrical system of the motor vehicle, another control device of the motor vehicle and / or a electrical load of the motor vehicle, in particular only by an operation of the pedal from a first operating state ("ignition off") to a second one Operating state ("ignition on") is switched. An operation a control element, such as a start-stop button or a key switch, is for the change from the first to the second operating state preferably not mandatory.

Thereby the motor vehicle can be ergonomic, intuitive and comfortable a first operating state ("ignition off") in a second Operating state ("ignition on") are switched.

Especially preferred is supplementary provided that the motor vehicle in particular only by an operation a transmission control element automatically from the second operating state ("Ignition a ") in a third Operating state ("Motor on "(with internal combustion engine);" torque is applied "or" ready for propulsion "(with electric motor)) is switched. Preferably, therefore, the motor vehicle engine (Internal combustion engine and / or electric motor) automatically with the change switched from the second to the third operating state or activated, if not already switched on in the second operating state or is activated. This increases and further simplifies the ease of use. For example, the Motor automatically started or ready to move, if in a manual transmission, a forward or reverse gear is engaged (depending according to variant each before or after release the clutch), or if in an automatic transmission, the gear D or R is inserted.

• – in Abhängigkeit vom Ladezustand einer Kraftfahrzeugbatterie;
• – in Abhängigkeit davon, ob eine Fahrzeugtüre offen ist oder nicht;
• – in Abhängigkeit davon, ob ein Pedal betätigt ist oder nicht;
• – in Abhängigkeit davon, ob das Kraftfahrzeug sich bewegt oder nicht;
• – in Abhängigkeit von dem Motorzustand;
• – in Abhängigkeit davon, ob eine Fahrstufe eingelegt ist oder nicht; und/oder
• – in Abhängigkeit von der Bedienung einer Zentralverriegelung.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention provide that, depending on one or more of the following criteria, the motor vehicle is automatically switched from the second operating state "(ignition on") back to the first operating state ("ignition off"):

• - Depending on the state of charge of a motor vehicle battery;
• Depending on whether a vehicle door is open or not;
• - depending on whether a pedal is actuated or not;
• - depending on whether the motor vehicle is moving or not;
• - depending on the engine condition;
• - depending on whether a gear is engaged or not; and or
• - depending on the operation of a central locking.

• (1) Motor gestoppt und/oder keine Fahrzeugbewegung und/oder keine Fahrstufe eingelegt; und
• (2) Ladezustand der Batterie unterschreitet vorgegeben Schwellwert, wie beispielsweise Startfähigkeitsgrenze, oder mindestens eine Türe ist geöffnet, wobei kein Pedal betätigt ist, oder das Zentralverriegelungssystem ist geschlossen oder verriegelt.

Particularly preferably, it is provided that the motor vehicle is automatically switched from the second operating state "(ignition on") to the first operating state ("ignition off") if the following two criteria (1) and (2) are fulfilled:

• (1) Engine stopped and / or no vehicle movement and / or gear engaged; and
• (2) State of charge of the battery falls below a predetermined threshold, such as startability limit, or at least one door is open, with no pedal is operated, or the central locking system is closed or locked.

Thereby the ease of use is taken into account relevant safety aspects further increased.

Of the first operating state is preferably determined by the fact that the ignition is that a vehicle parking light is activated that a vehicle dipped beam can not be activated, that the motor vehicle less than about 3 Amps consumed electricity, and / or that the motor vehicle air conditioning is not is activatable. This state may also be called the basic operating state become.

Of the second operating state is preferably determined by the fact that the ignition on is that a vehicle parking light can be activated that a vehicle dipped beam can be activated that the motor vehicle more than about 10 amps of electricity consumes that the vehicle air conditioning is activated and / or the internal combustion engine is ready to start. This condition can also Main operating state or driving ready state.

Of the third operating state is preferably determined by the fact that the Motor vehicle engine (internal combustion engine and / or electric motor) turned on or is active, and / or that a moment on the engine, in particular Electric motor, applied. This third operating state can also be special second operating state, so in addition to the meet specified criteria of the second operating state.

Around also a conventional one To allow operation of the motor vehicle is advantageously a control element, such as a start-stop button or a key switch, for manual switching between the first and second operating state intended.

Especially comfortable is the invention in combination with that by a Vehicle users, for example, by approaching the motor vehicle or through a touch the door handle, the particular radio-based query a first identification code from an identification element, such as a portable one Transponder unit, whose verification is triggered and that access to the motor vehicle depending on the result of the check is given freely or not.

Around the comfortable change from the first operating state to the second Operating condition to allow only authorized persons, is by the operation of the Pedals the particular radio-based query a second identification code from an identification element, such as a portable one Transponder unit, and triggered its review. Dependent on from the check result then the motor vehicle from the first operating state in the switched to the second operating state. Is the example of the identifier queried identification code with a in the motor vehicle stored identification code, becomes the change from the first operating state to the second operating state carried out, otherwise not.

in the The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to FIG closer to the following figure explains:

1 shows a simplified block diagram of a motor vehicle.

1 shows a vehicle F, which is equipped with a pedal P, such as a brake pedal or a clutch pedal, and a control device STE. By a pedal operation detecting means, not shown, it is detected whether the pedal is operated or not.

The Control device STE is set up such that by actuating the Pedals the query of an identification code from an identification element and its verification is triggered. At a match of the queried and stored in the motor vehicle or generated Identification codes, the motor vehicle automatically from a first operating state ("ignition off") in a second Operating state ("ignition on") switched. By a movement of a transmission control element, for example, to engage a forward gear or a reverse gear, the motor vehicle is automatically from the second operating state ("Ignition on") in a third Operating state ("Motor switched to ").
