Abstract
An automotive electronic control system configured to control the powertrain to stop the internal combustion engine and disengage the drive line, which results in the motor vehicle entering a freewheel running condition with the internal combustion engine off. The control system is further configured to control the drive line during an internal combustion engine run-down after the motor vehicle enters the freewheel running condition, to cause a gear to engage for inertial cranking of the internal combustion engine before the internal combustion engine leaves a self-sustaining operating condition.
