CONTROL DEVICE OF A VEHICLE, CONTROL METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM BEARING A PROGRAM IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD
First Claim
1. A control device of a vehicle having an internal combustion engine and a rotating electric machine connected to said internal combustion engine as running sources, and being configured to allow gear shifting in a shift mode selected from between an automatic shift mode and a manual shift mode by a driver, comprising:
- a sensing unit that senses the shift mode selected from between said automatic shift mode and said manual shift mode by the driver; and
a controller that controls said running sources to change an idle revolution speed of said internal combustion engine when said manual shift mode is selected, as compared with an idle revolution speed attained when said automatic shift mode is selected.

Abstract
An ECU executes a program including a step of determining whether a manual shift mode is active or not, a step of calculating a lower limit revolution speed based on a vehicle speed and a gear selected by a driver when the manual shift mode is active, a step of changing a target idle revolution speed from a predetermined revolution speed to the lower limit revolution speed when a required engine torque is substantially zero and the engine is not in a fuel cut state, and a step of transmitting a control signal corresponding to the target idle revolution speed to the engine.
