Abstract
A vehicle, with an engine, includes an engine control unit. The engine control unit is configured to control the engine in a circuit mode in which a traveling performance of the vehicle is improved, on a basis of a request transmitted from a portable terminal, when the portable terminal operated by a user of the vehicle determines that a current position of the vehicle equipped with the engine is in a circuit.
Claims4
A vehicle with an engine, the vehicle comprising
- an engine control unit configured to control the engine in a circuit mode in which a traveling performance of the vehicle is improved, on a basis of a request transmitted from a portable terminal, when the portable terminal operated by a user of the vehicle determines that a current position of the vehicle equipped with the engine is in a circuit,
- wherein, when a first maximum rotation speed of the engine is changed to a second maximum rotation speed higher than the first maximum rotation speed on a basis of the circuit mode, the engine control unit is configured to use a threshold associated with the first maximum rotation speed and used for determination of over-revving of the engine, regardless of a change from the first maximum rotation speed to the second maximum rotation speed.
