Abstract
An idling stop control device of the invention acquires an index (SOCx) indicating a magnitude of a remaining charged electric power amount of a battery (), restarts an operation of an engine () by operating a starter () when the index becomes smaller than a predetermined restart threshold (SOCstart) while an automatic stop of the operation of the engine has been carried out, and changes the threshold from a first threshold (SOC) to a second threshold (SOC) when an operation of an electric actuator () is started while the automatic stop has been carried out. The first threshold is a threshold set immediately before the operation of the actuator is started and the second threshold is smaller than the first threshold.
