Abstract
An eco-run control unit performs an eco-run control of stopping an engine mounted on a vehicle automatically on the basis of stop conditions and of restarting the engine automatically on the basis of restart conditions while the engine is stopped automatically by the eco-run control. An acquiring unit acquires information for identifying a vehicle type of the vehicle on which the eco-run control device is mounted. A determining unit determines whether the identified vehicle type is coincident with any of vehicle types stored in a storage unit. A setting unit sets the eco-run control to a specific control depending on one of the vehicle types when the determining unit determines that the identified vehicle type is coincident with the one of the stored vehicle types. The setting unit sets the eco-run control to a default control corresponding to a default vehicle type and permit the eco-run control unit to stop the engine automatically until a determination of the determination unit is completed. The setting unit prohibits the eco-run control unit from stopping the engine automatically when the determining unit determines that the identified vehicle type is different from any of the stored vehicle types.
