Vehicle cooling device

A vehicle cooling device employed in a vehicle, wherein

• the vehicle includes an internal combustion engine provided with a forced-induction device and an intercooler configured to cool air supercharged by the forced-induction device, and
• the vehicle cooling device comprises:
• a circulation circuit configured to circulate a coolant supplied to the intercooler;
• an electric pump configured to operate to circulate the coolant in the circulation circuit;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to control a discharge amount of the coolant of the pump,
• the processing circuitry is configured to execute a control amount deriving process and an operation process, and
• the control amount deriving process is a process of deriving a control amount of the pump based on a requested flow rate and coolant temperature, the requested flow rate being a requested value of a flow rate of the coolant in the circulation circuit, and the coolant temperature which being a temperature of the coolant,
• the control amount deriving process includes deriving the control amount such that the control amount increases as the requested flow rate increases, and the control amount is larger when the coolant temperature is lower than a reference coolant temperature than when the coolant temperature is higher than or equal to the reference coolant temperature, and
• the operation process is a process of causing the pump to operate based on the control amount when the requested flow rate is greater than 0.
