Abstract: A parking assistance method of a parking assistance device for generating a peripheral image indicating a periphery of a vehicle as viewed from above to detect an unoccupied parking space, and displaying, on the peripheral image, an assistance image indicating that the detected unoccupied parking space is an available parking space, determines whether the vehicle intrudes on the unoccupied parking space. The parking assistance method inhibits the assistance image from being displayed on the unoccupied parking space on which the vehicle is determined to intrude in the peripheral image.

Abstract: An engine includes an EGR device and a water-cooled heat exchanger. The water-cooled heat exchanger is provided on a downstream side of an EGR gas-introduction portion of an intake passage into which EGR gas is to be introduced and exchanges heat with gas flowing in the intake passage. A control device is programmed to execute condensed water-suppression control that supplies coolant having a temperature higher than the temperature of the gas heat-exchanged in the water-cooled heat exchanger to the water-cooled heat exchanger while a hybrid vehicle is traveling in a state in which the engine is stopped.
