Abstract

A method for operating a vehicle that includes an electrical power output is described. In one example, the method includes preventing shifting of transmission gears in response to an external electric power consumer being coupled to an electrical power output receptacle of the vehicle. The method may reduce a possibility of interrupting electrical power that may be supplied to the external electric power consumer.

Description

FIELD[0001]The present description relates to methods and a system for operating a vehicle that may supply electrical power to an external device. The methods and systems may reduce the possibility of an unexpected power disconnect to the external device.BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY[0002]A vehicle may include an electrical power outlet to provide electrical power to electrically operated devices that are external to the vehicle or that are not integrated into the vehicle. The power may be provided via an integrated starter / generator, a belt integrated starter generator, or another electric machine that is incorporated into the vehicle. The electrical power outlet may have sufficient capacity to operate entertainment devices, hand tools, lights, pumps, and other electrically operated devices. The electric power outlet may supply electric power to external devices when the vehicle is moving or when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle is supplying power to an external device when the v...
