ABSTRACT:
Person authentication for determining if there is a specified driver is performed by biometrics or the like. Then when authenticated that there is a previously registered driver, it is predicted that the engine will be started, and prior to the driver operating the ignition key, operation of a fuel pump, or a heater fitted to an engine fuel injection valve, is commenced. Thereafter when the ignition key is operated by the driver, control shifts to normal control.
