Abstract
Systems and methods for inhibiting automatic stopping of an internal combustion engine are described. In one example, inhibiting of automatic engine stopping may be prevented in response to vehicle speed and/or an amount of time since the most recent time inhibiting of automatic engine stopping was permitted. Further, the inhibiting of automatic engine starting may be based on vehicle speed and engine starting when vehicle speed is less than two threshold speeds.
