Abstract
A hybrid vehicle is provided with an one-way clutch configured to prevent the reverse rotation of an engine, a power split device, a display unit configured to notify a driver of a warning message, and an ECU configured to control the engine, the display unit and a motor generator. The ECU controls the display unit to notify the driver of a warning message that the vehicle is not allowed to make reverse moving when a malfunction occurs. In the case where a malfunction occurs, the output shaft cannot rotate reversely if the reverse rotation of the engine is prevented by the one-way clutch.
