PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the generation of an unnatural behavior of a vehicle and generation of an excessive load applied to a power transmitting system, when fuel is used up in an internal combustion engine, in the vehicle provided with an internal combustion engine and a rotating electric machine. SOLUTION: A residual amount of fuel stored in a fuel tank 36 is detected by a fuel sensor 38. When the residual amount of the fuel is decreased to a prescribed value or smaller, a control part 34 sets limits to a charge performed by the rotating electric machine 14 for front wheels. In this way, the torque generated by the charge prevents a vehicle from rapidly decelerating. The control part 34 inhibits the power running control of the rotating electric machine 16 for rear wheels. In this way, when the fuel runs short, the direction of torque is set opposed to each other by applying a brake force to the front wheels and a drive force to the rear wheels, the vehicle is prevented from generating the unnatural behavior and generating a rapid torque change in the power transmitting system. |
