Abstract
A control device is applied to a hybrid vehicle (A) in which an internal combustion engine () and an MG () are connected through a second clutch (), the MG () and a transmission () are connected through a first clutch () whose state is switchable by a depression operation of a clutch pedal (CP), and an output shaft () of the transmission () is connected to a driving wheel () so as to transmit power. The control device starts the internal combustion engine () when an accelerator opening is equal to or greater than a start determination value. When the vehicle (A) is stopped and the internal combustion engine () is stopped, and when the amount of return of the clutch pedal (CP) is small, the control device makes the start determination value greater than when the amount of return of the clutch pedal (CP) is great.
