Indication apparatus for hybrid vehicle
First Claim
1. An indication apparatus for a hybrid vehicle employing, as traveling sources for the vehicle, an engine and a rotating electric machine being actuated by electric power supplied from a power storage mechanism, said rotating electric machine being actuated by said engine or driving wheels thereby generating electric power which is in turn stored in said power storage mechanism, comprising:
- an electronic control unit configured to calculate an index with which the vehicle is allowed to decelerate without actuating a mechanical braking mechanism provided to the vehicle; and
an indicator configured to indicate said index so as to inform a driver of said index.

Abstract
An ECU executes a program including: steps of detecting an SOC and a temperature TB of a traction battery; when an EV switch is on, a step of calculating a temperature correction coefficient α from TB; when EV switch not on, a step of calculating a temperature correction coefficient α from TB; steps of calculating an EV traveling allowed power value WOUT based on the SOC and the temperature correction coefficients; and a step of transmitting EV traveling allowed power value WOUT to a meter ECU in order to indicate EV traveling allowed power value WOUT on a power meter.
