An engine has a variable valve actuation device for controlling an actuation characteristic of an intake valve that is an amount of lifting the intake valve and/or a working angle on the intake valve. When the intake valve having the actuation characteristic (or lifted in an amount and/or worked by a working angle) controlled by the variable valve actuation device has the actuation characteristic (or the amount and/or the angle) fixed, intermittently operating the engine is not unconditionally stopped, and when a power storage device is not limited in chargeability and dischargeability and a cranking torque is ensured to ensure that the engine is startable, intermittently stopping the engine is permitted. |
