A method of controlling a vehicle includes reducing a speed of the vehicle
in response to a vehicle shutdown signal, monitoring at least one of a
speed of the vehicle and a torque of an engine of the vehicle,
determining whether the monitored at least one of the speed and torque is
decreasing, if the monitored at least one of the speed and torque is not
decreasing, enabling the engine of the vehicle to operate at a reduced
power level, and stopping the vehicle when the monitored at least one of
the speed and torque has reached a predetermined level. A control system
for a vehicle includes a processor that reduces a speed of the vehicle in
response to a vehicle shutdown signal. The processor monitors at least
one of a speed of the vehicle and a torque of an engine of the vehicle
and determines whether the monitored at least one of the speed and torque
is decreasing. If the monitored at least one of the speed and torque is
not decreasing, the processor enables the engine of the vehicle to
operate at a reduced power level. The processor causes the vehicle to
stop the vehicle when the monitored at least one of the speed and torque
has reached a predetermined level. In addition, a computer-readable
medium containing a computer program for controlling a vehicle.
