Abstract
A control device is applied to a hybrid electric vehicle in which an internal combustion engine and a motor generator are provided as a prime mover, and the high-voltage battery is charged using the power of the internal combustion engine and the autonomous operation is performed. The control device executes a process of setting the idle rotation speed of the internal combustion engine while the vehicle is running during the execution of the automatic driving to be higher than the idle rotation speed during the vehicle running during the non-execution of the automatic driving.
Claims3
A control device for a hybrid electric vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine and an electric motor as a prime mover, charges a battery using an output of the internal combustion engine, and is subjected to adaptive cruise control, wherein the control device executes a process of rendering an idle rotation speed of the internal combustion engine during vehicle travel during execution of the adaptive cruise control higher than an idle rotation speed during vehicle travel during non-execution of the adaptive cruise control.
