Abstract:
An ECU executes control processing including the step of extracting amplitudes f1, f2 of a resonant zone when a traveling mode is in a hybrid traveling mode, the step of executing count processing, the step of starting a first resonance avoidance control when a first count value Nf1 is greater than a threshold value n(1), the step of starting a second resonance avoidance control when a second count value Nf2 is greater than a threshold value n(2), the step of releasing a clutch K2 when resonance continues even after elapse of a predetermined time period Tb from starting of the second resonance avoidance control, and the step of terminating the resonance avoidance control when predetermined time period Ta has elapsed from determination of occurrence of resonance.
