ABSTRACT:
When an accelerator opening Acc is smaller than a flat road threshold Aref1, an ECO indicator is illuminated, and when the accelerator opening Acc is equal to or larger than a climbing road threshold Aref2larger than the flat road threshold Aref1, the ECO indicator is extinguished (S120and S220), when the accelerator opening Acc is equal to or larger than the flat road threshold Aref1and smaller than the climbing road threshold Aref2, the previous state of the ECO indicator is maintained until climbing road determination performed based on a vehicle speed V is finished, and when the climbing road determination is finished, the ECO indicator is illuminated or extinguished based on the result of the determination.
