An apparatus (100) for controlling an engine (10) of a vehicle with an engine-driven power generator (15) and a parking brake system (20) which is electronically actuated using electric power provided by the power generator (15) or a battery, and which allows at least one safe state comprises: an interface (110), a detector unit (120) and a control module (130). The interface (110) is configured to receive a driver request (115) to stop the engine (10). The detector unit (120) is configured to detect a condition indicating that the electronically actuated parking brake system (20) is able to reach the at least one safe state. The control module (130) is configured to receive the driver request (115) from the interface (110) and the detected condition from the detector unit (120), wherein the control module (130) is further configured to postpone the driver request (115) to stop the engine (10) and to maintain the engine (10) running until the detector unit (120) has detected the condition indicating that the at least one safe state can be reached.
