Abstract
When switching between L3 cylinder cut-off running in which a bank on one side of a V6 engine is cut off and V4 cylinder cut-off running in which one cylinder in each of the two banks is cut off, V6 all-cylinder running to operate all the cylinders is interposed therebetween. Therefore, a transitional period is provided between L3 cylinder cut-off running and V6 all-cylinder running and between V6 all-cylinder running and V4 cylinder cut-off running, and no transitional period is present between L3 cylinder cut-off running and V4 cylinder cut-off running. Thus, it is possible to simplify control of an active vibration isolation support system during the transitional period and to avoid deterioration of a vibrational state during the transitional period.
