ABSTRACT:
An eco-run control device sends an engine stop request to an engine control device when predetermined stop requirements are satisfied, causes the engine control device to perform an engine stop control operation, and drives a starter to restart the engine when predetermined restart requirements are satisfied during the engine stop control operation. This eco-run control device includes: a detecting unit that detects a starting operation to start the engine; and a control unit that causes the starter to restart the engine, if the starting operation is detected during the engine stop control operation and the engine speed is lower than a predetermined speed.
