Abstract: A fuel injection control apparatus switches between MPI and DI+MPI modes. The apparatus includes a unit calculating a DI direct combustion rate that is the rate of that portion of the amount of DI injection corresponding to a fuel combusted instead of adhering to inside of the cylinder, and a unit calculating a cylinder vaporization rate that is the rate of the amount of that portion of the fuel adhering to the inside of the cylinder which vaporizes. The former unit controls fuel injection based at least on the DI direct combustion rate and the cylinder vaporization rate. When the mode is switched between the MPI mode and the DI+MPI mode, the former unit corrects the DI direct combustion rate or the cylinder vaporization rate to set the amount of fuel injection to a value different from that set when the fuel injection modes are maintained.

Then, when the ignition switch is turned off and then again turned on, sending of the failure level to a hybrid control unit is stopped, and the hybrid fail-safe process is finished.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a first motor, a second motor, a battery, a decider, a first calculator, a second calculator and a controller. The decider detects a state of the battery and determines whether the detected state is a state where charging the battery is restricted. The first calculator calculates, when the first motor generates the regenerative electric power under the state where charging the battery is restricted, a target energy consumption representing a target value of electric power that the second motor is to consume to drive the engine by using the regenerative electric power. The second calculator calculates an actual energy consumption that the second motor requests to maintain rotating speed of the engine. The controller adjusts angular acceleration of the engine and the second motor, using a difference between the target energy consumption and the actual energy consumption.
