Abstract
An operation line is set on the basis of a shift position and a brake pedal position, from among a plurality of operation lines in which a degree of avoidance of an abnormal noise generation region from a fuel-economy optimal operation line becomes smaller as a degree to which travel of the vehicle is restricted becomes greater. An engine and a motor are controlled by setting a target operation point of the engine using the set operation line, and by setting a torque instruction of the motor.
