HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

A hybrid vehicle capable of selecting between a state where a clutch coupling an engine and a motor is engaged and the vehicle travels by drive power of the engine, and a state where the clutch is released and the vehicle travels with the engine stopped, wherein, if there is a request to restart the engine while the engine is rotating (step S5) after control to release the clutch and stop the engine has been started, then upon the condition that the engine number of revolutions is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value (step S6), and in a state where the output torque of the motor is limited to a previously established torque or less (step S7), control to increase the transmission torque capacity of; the clutch is implemented (step S8), whereupon the output torque of the motor is increased to a torque that cranks the engine (step S9).
