CONTROL DEVICE FOR HYBRID VEHICLE

A control device for a hybrid vehicle, includes a deceleration control unit configured to an engine and a motor as traveling power sources so as to control deceleration of the hybrid vehicle, a fuel cut control unit configured to restrict or permit fuel cut in the engine based on establishment or non-establishment of a predetermined condition, a downhill control unit configured to execute downhill control for increasing deceleration during downhill traveling higher than deceleration during flat traveling, and a deceleration limit unit configured to limit deceleration in restricting the fuel cut and in executing the downhill control so as to be lower than deceleration in permitting the fuel cut and in executing the downhill control.
