Abstract

See full text

A start control system for an automotive vehicle equipped with an electric motor working as a drive source. The start control system includes an accelerator limiter which limits an operating range of an accelerator of the vehicle to disable the electric motor and a limitation cancelling request receiver that receives a limitation cancelling request from a vehicle operator to cancel the limitation of the operating range of the accelerator. When the vehicle operator makes a start request mistakenly, so that the condition where the electric motor is set ready to start coincides with the condition where a brake of the vehicle is not operated, which will cause the vehicle to start upon the movement of the accelerator, the vehicle is inhibited from running unless the limitation cancelling request receiver receives the limitation cancelling request, thus minimizing the possibility of an error in starting the vehicle.
