Vehicle control system

Abstract:

A vehicle includes a high voltage battery that stores electric power; a battery box that stores the high voltage battery; a battery disposition section in which the battery box is provided; a power drive unit that controls acceleration and deceleration of an electric vehicle so that a request of a driver is implemented; and a water sensor that detects water in the battery disposition section. In response to detection of water by the water sensor, the power drive unit performs acceleration and deceleration limit control to limit acceleration and deceleration of the electric vehicle so that the acceleration or deceleration rate of the electric vehicle is maintained lower than or equal to a predetermined limited acceleration or deceleration rate.
