Abstract:
A vehicle control device for a vehicle including an engine that is a power source of the vehicle, and a heating unit that heats a coolant of the engine includes a water temperature determination part that determines whether or not a temperature of the coolant is lower than a predetermined value, and a heating control part that performs an operation limitation to stop an output of the heating unit or to limit the output of the heating unit to a predetermined upper limit value or lower, when the water temperature determination part determines that the temperature of the coolant is lower than the predetermined value.

Claim (Index 6):
The vehicle control device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a shaft efficiency reduction control part that reduces a shaft efficiency, which is a ratio of a shaft output to an amount of fuel consumed by the engine, to increase a waste heat generation efficiency, which is a ratio of an amount of waste heat generated by the engine to the amount of fuel consumed by the engine, when the operation limitation is performed on the heating unit and a remaining capacity of a battery disposed in the vehicle is higher than a predetermined value.
