Engine start-up device for hybrid vehicle power transmitting device

摘要

In an engine start-up device, engine start-up means 94 starts up an engine 8 upon altering a start-up method of the engine 8 for a shifting of an automatic shifting portion 20 relative to a start-up method of the engine 8 for a non-shifting of an automatic shifting portion 20. Thus, an operation to start-up the engine 8 is avoided from adversely affecting the shifting of the automatic shifting portion 20. The operation to start-up the engine 8 begins to be executed during the shifting of the automatic shifting portion 20, enabling further improved response in acceleration required by a driver than that achieved when the operation is commenced after the automatic shifting portion 20 has completed the shifting.
