Abstract
A PM-ECU configured to control a drive torque of a vehicle is configured to be stopped in response to a driver's operation of a start switch and then activated in response to a driver's re-operation of the start switch. The PM-ECU is configured to be activated and place a restriction on the drive torque of the vehicle, in response to a re-operation of the start switch after the PM-ECU is stopped in response to an operation of the start switch. The PM-ECU is configured to remove the restriction on the drive torque in response to a reduction of an operation amount by which an accelerator pedal is operated.
