    Abstract: An ECU may make a changeover between EV running and HV running in accordance with a running situation in each of a CD mode and a CS mode. A start power threshold of an engine at the time when the CD mode is selected may be larger than the start power threshold at the time when the CS mode is selected. Then, the ECU may change the driving force characteristics of a vehicle depending on whether the CD mode or the CS mode is selected that may result in in the vehicle driving torque for the same vehicle speed and the same accelerator opening degree is larger when the CD mode is selected than when the CS mode is selected.

    Abstract translation: 根据CD模式和CS模式中的每一个的运行情况,ECU可以在EV运行和HV运行之间进行切换。 当选择CD模式时,发动机的启动功率阈值可能大于选择CS模式时的启动功率阈值。 然后,ECU可以根据是否选择了CD模式或CS模式来改变车辆的驱动力特性,该CD模式或CS模式可能导致相同车辆速度的车辆驱动转矩和当CD的相同加速器开度较大时 选择模式时,选择CS模式。

    Abstract: When a catalyst temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature on a second or subsequent start of an engine since system activation of a vehicle, a catalyst warm-up request is output for the purpose of warming up a catalyst in a catalytic converter. An output limit Wout of a battery is not increased in response to a second or subsequent output of the catalyst warm-up request, while being increased in response to a first output of the catalyst warm-up request. Accordingly, the catalyst warm-up in response to the second or subsequent output of the catalyst warm-up request since the system activation suppresses excessive output of electric power from the battery and thereby suppresses deterioration of the battery. Catalyst warm-up is performed in response to the second or subsequent output of the catalyst warm-up request. This suppresses deterioration of emission. As a result, this configuration satisfies both (balances) suppression of deterioration of the battery and suppression of deterioration of emission.

    Abstract: An engine is controlled based on a wide-open-throttle operation line connecting a driving point at which the engine outputs the maximum torque in a state where the throttle valve opening degree is maximum, and a non-wide-open-throttle operation line connecting a driving point at which the exhaust state of the engine is improved as compared with the wide-open-throttle operation line. A CD mode or a CS mode is selected to drive hybrid electric vehicle. When CD mode is selected, the use of the wide-open-throttle operation line is prohibited, and a requested driving force corresponding to the state where the throttle valve opening degree is maximum is set based on a compounded torque obtained by summing an engine torque determined based on the non-wide-open-throttle operation line and a motor torque that can be output in accordance with the allowable discharge electric power of the battery, and the driving force is controlled.

    Abstract: A MET and a HUD are provided inside a cabin of an host vehicle so as to be capable of being viewed by an occupant. An acquisition section is configured to acquire information regarding surrounding objects around the host vehicle. A control section is configured to suppress display on the HUD of an image of a surrounding object other than a first preceding vehicle traveling ahead in a current traveling lane of the host vehicle from out of images of surrounding objects for which the information has been acquired by the acquisition section. The control section also displays the first preceding vehicle and other surrounding objects on the MET, with display of the other surrounding objects being incrementally toned-down according to their importance level.

    Abstract: A vehicle 1 comprises an internal combustion engine 10, a filter 61, a motor 16, a battery 20, a trapped amount calculating part 91 configured to calculate an amount of particulate matter, a state-of-charge estimating part 92 configured to estimate a state of charge of the battery, an engine load setting part 93 configured to set an engine load, and an internal combustion engine control part 94. The engine load setting part is configured to make the engine load increase in the case where the amount of the particulate matter is relatively large compared to the case where the amount of the particulate matter is relatively small when it is estimated that the battery can be charged. The engine load setting part is configured to change an amount of increase of the engine load in accordance with the amount of the particulate matter when making the engine load increase.

    Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine, a motor, a rotary electric machine, a battery, and an ECU. The ECU is configured to control the rotary electric machine to generate electric power when the engine is started during the motor traveling mode and provide a cranking torque to the engine, the electric power generated by the rotary electric machine increasing as a vehicle speed increases, and determine whether or not to start the engine based on a comparison between a sum of electric power and a value corresponding to electric power acceptable by the battery. The sum of electric power is a sum of first electric power actually input into and output from the battery during the motor traveling mode and second electric power predicted to be generated by the rotary electric machine while the cranking torque is provided to the engine.
