<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely start an engine when the engine is cranked by a motor according to the discharge of a battery. <P>SOLUTION: The lower the temperature T of cooling medium for cooling the engine in the condition of the engine and the lower the remaining capacity SOC in the condition of the battery, the lower the target cranking speed N* of the engine is set, and the motor is driven by using a power from the battery at the target cranking speed N* to perform the cranking of the engine. Thus, since the power of the battery is assured so that the engine can be re-started after the engine fails to start, the engine is more surely started. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
