<p>An object is to suppress an uncomfortable feeling induced by, from the start of an engine rotation stop process, turning on an indicator lamp for informing the driver that the vehicle is motor running mode. The turning on of the EV lamp 50 is delayed from the start of the engine rotation stop process when the vehicle speed V is in a vehicle speed range (a predetermined low vehicle speed range VLow) where the driver is easy to feel the vehicle vibration noise attendant on passage of the engine speed N E through the engine resonance band N ERES , whereupon in the case where the vehicle 10 is in the predetermined low vehicle speed range VLow, a time difference, can be suppressed between the illumination timing of the EV lamp 50 in the engine rotation stop process and the stop timing of the engine 18 that the driver feels by the vehicle vibration occurring when the engine speed N E lowered in the engine rotation stop process passes through the engine resonance band N ERES . In the case where the vehicle 10 is not in the predetermined low vehicle speed range VLow, the EV lamp 50 is allowed to go on as soon as possible after the start of the engine rotation stop process.</p> |
