Abstract
Systems and methods for improving operation of a vehicle that includes an engine that may be automatically stopped and started are presented. In one example, vehicle launch control parameters are adjusted responsive to a learned driving style. The approach may provide vehicle launches that are closer to driver expectations than vehicle launches that are based solely on accelerator pedal position.
