Drive mode control

Abstract

DRIVE MODE CONTROL Aspects of the present invention relate to a control system (200, 400) for controlling drive modes of a vehicle (100), and to a related drive mode system (102), drive mode selection system (104), method 5 (300, 500) and vehicle (100). The control system (200, 400) may be configured to determine a control signal (204, 404) in dependence on a temperature signal (206, 406) indicating that a temperature associated with a first system of the vehicle is above a first threshold and below a second threshold; and output the control signal (204, 404) wherein the control signal (204, 404) is indicative of an instruction to the first system to implement a default mode of a plurality of first system modes. 10 [FIG. 7] DRIVE MODE CONTROL 10 20 26 20 04 74 23 J an 2 02 6 2 0 2 6 2 0 0 4 7 4 2 3 J a n 2 0 2 6 D R I V E M O D E C O N T R O L 1 0 5 / 6 FIG. 7 700 T1 < t < T2 S = S1 t > T2 C2 C1 C3 t < T3 C4 708 706 702 704X >V V 706 X X X 20 26 20 04 74 23 J an 2 02 6 2 0 2 6 2 0 0 4 7 4 2 3 2 0 2 6 J a n V V 7 0 6 X X > X >
