Abstract
If a vehicle speed is less than a predetermined value when a hybrid control mode is a series mode and a charge mode is selected (S10-S14), it is determined whether an SOC of a high voltage battery is less than a predetermined value or not (S16), and when the SOC of the high voltage battery is less than the predetermined value, ignition timing is corrected to be retarded (S18).
Claims12
A hybrid vehicle with an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a power generator that is driven by the internal combustion engine;
- a vehicle speed sensor that detects a vehicle speed;
- a vehicle control device that
- determines that the internal combustion engine is driving the power generator, and
- determines that a traveling state of the vehicle is in a stop state based on the detected vehicle speed;
- and
- an ignition timing correction portion that corrects ignition timing of the internal combustion engine to a retardation side when the vehicle control device determines that the internal combustion engine is driving the power generator and the traveling state of the vehicle is in the stop state.
