Abstract:
The electronic control unit determines whether or not an battery state of charge is equal to or above a first state of charge, and determines, based on the result of a determination, whether or not to allow a next automatic stop of an engine while the engine is driven by automatic restart after each automatic stop of the engine. The electronic control unit allows the next automatic stop of the engine when determining that the battery state of charge is equal to or above the first state of charge, and prohibits automatic stop of the engine until the vehicle starts traveling, when determining that the battery state of charge is less than the first state of charge.

Claim (Index 5):
A control method of a vehicle, the vehicle including an engine and an electronic control unit, the electronic control unit being able to execute restart control a plurality of times at one time when the vehicle stops,\n the control method comprising:\n determining, by the electronic control unit, whether or not a status value is in a first region; \n deciding, by the electronic control unit, based on a result of determination made by the electronic control unit, whether or not to allow a next automatic stop of the engine while the engine is driven by automatic restart after each automatic stop of the engine; and \n allowing, by the electronic control unit, the next automatic stop of the engine when determining that the status value is in the first region, and prohibiting automatic stop of the engine until the vehicle starts traveling, when determining that the status value is out of the first region,\n the restart control being a control that automatically stops the engine when a specified automatic stop condition is established and automatically restarts the automatically stopped engine either when a specified automatic restart condition is established or when the automatic stop condition is not satisfied, \n the automatic stop condition including a specified status value that changes toward a unsatisfied side of the automatic stop condition during automatic stop of the engine, and changes toward an establishment side of the automatic stop condition during driving of the engine, and \n the first region being such that a relatively long time is taken until the automatic stop condition is not satisfied due to change in the status value during automatic stop of the engine.
