VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A vehicle control apparatus comprising:
- an accessory that adjusts torque that is output from an internal combustion engine, by giving load to the internal combustion engine;
an ignition timing control portion that is provided so as to adjust ignition timing of the internal combustion engine, and that adjusts the torque output from the internal combustion engine by performing a retardation control of the ignition timing;
an accessory load adjustment portion that adjusts an accessory load that is the load given from the accessory to the internal combustion engine; and
a catalyst that purifies exhaust gas discharged from the internal combustion engine, whereinthe ignition timing control portion reduces the retardation of the ignition timing with increase in temperature of the catalyst, and the accessory load adjustment portion increases the accessory load with increase in the temperature of the catalyst.

Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus includes: an accessory that adjusts torque that is output from an internal combustion engine, by giving load to the internal combustion engine; an ignition timing control portion that is provided so as to adjust ignition timing of the internal combustion engine, and that adjusts the torque output from the internal combustion engine by performing a retardation control of the ignition timing; an accessory load adjustment portion that adjusts an accessory load that is the load given from the accessory to the internal combustion engine; and a catalyst that purifies exhaust gas discharged from the internal combustion engine. The ignition timing control portion reduces the retardation of the ignition timing with increase in temperature of the catalyst. The accessory load adjustment portion increases the accessory load with increase in the temperature of the catalyst.

7. A vehicle control apparatus comprising:
-
an accessory that is provided so as to generate electricity by using torque generated by an internal combustion engine, and that adjusts the torque output from the internal combustion engine by adjusting magnitude of load given to the internal combustion engine while the accessory is generating electricity; an electricity storage device that stores electricity generated by the accessory; an ignition timing control portion that is provided so as to control ignition timing of the internal combustion engine, and that adjusts the torque output from the internal combustion engine by performing a retardation control of the ignition timing; and an accessory load adjustment portion that adjusts an accessory load that is the load given from the accessory to the internal combustion engine, wherein the ignition timing control portion reduces the retardation of the ignition timing with decrease in amount of stored electricity of the electricity storage device, and the accessory load adjustment portion increases the accessory load with decrease in the amount of stored electricity of the electricity storage device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A vehicle control apparatus comprising:
-
an accessory that adjusts torque that is output from an internal combustion engine, by giving load to the internal combustion engine; an ignition timing control portion that is provided so as to control ignition timing of the internal combustion engine, and that adjusts the torque output from the internal combustion engine by performing a retardation control of the ignition timing; and an accessory load adjustment portion that adjusts an accessory load that is the load given from the accessory to the internal combustion engine, wherein the accessory load adjustment portion increases the accessory load if the ignition timing reaches a misfire limit as the ignition timing control portion performs the retardation control. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
