Abstract
A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle for controlling and limiting the transmission of power from an engine to the driving wheels during start-up of the engine to produce a hybrid running mode where the vehicle is powered by both the engine and a motor-generator. During start-up of the engine, a first frictional element changing its state before and after a shift of the transmission is allowed to slip, and a second frictional element is allowed to slip. The element that is allowed to slip is switched from one to the other.
