Abstract
A method for controlling a vehicle includes: receiving a detection signal to perform an idle stop and go (ISG) function; and controlling the vehicle to enter into an ISG state where a fuel supply to an engine is cut off and the engine stops when the vehicle decelerates or stops in response to the detection signal. The detection signal includes a fuel cut off signal that is in on state when the vehicle decelerates and in off state at a reference revolution per minute (RPM) of the engine, a gear engagement signal, and a brake pedal signal indicating whether the brake pedal of the vehicle is operated. A controller of the vehicle generates an ISG entry signal based on the fuel cut off signal, the gear engagement signal, and the brake pedal signal to enter the vehicle into the ISG state.
