Abstract
A method for operating a vehicle that may be automatically stopped and started is described. In one example, the method includes inhibiting automatic engine stopping in response to a temperature of an emissions device exceeding a threshold temperature. In addition, additional actions may be taken to reduce the temperature of the emissions device when automatic engine stopping is inhibited.
