Abstract
A hybrid vehicle control device is provided for controlling a drive system. The hybrid vehicle control device is programmed to perform an engine start control using a motor/generator as an engine start motor when an engine start request is present. The hybrid vehicle control device includes a second clutch control section and an engine start control section. The second clutch control section completely disengages the second clutch. The engine start control section engages or slip engages of the first clutch, and performs engine start control resulting from performing an engine cranking operation, injecting air and fuel and igniting same. The hybrid vehicle control module disengages the first clutch and engages the second clutch during coasting/regenerating driving with the motor/generator while traveling in an electric vehicle mode when the engine start request is due to a driver input for an increase in a required driving force.
