ABSTRACT:
The power transmission mechanism reliably starts an internal combustion engine that is stopped during travel of a vehicle. While the internal combustion engine is stopped and the internal combustion engine and the transmission are disengaged by the main clutch, it is determined whether the mode is the EV travel mode, corresponding to the driving mode by the electric motor. In the case of the motor driving mode, and if the vehicle speed is less than a predetermined value, the engine is started in a neutral mode. If the vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined value, the engine is started in a standby mode. When starting in the standby mode, a gear set is selected based on the vehicle speed, and the input shaft and the output shaft are engaged.
