When a manifold catalytic converter, which is a catalyst above an exhaust passage, is warmed, a control unit is configured to control the energization of an electric heater of the manifold catalytic converter, and/or the driving of an internal combustion engine in accordance with a battery SOC of a battery. This makes it possible in a hybrid vehicle to warm the manifold catalytic converter using an amount of electric power consumed by motoring of an electric motor, and generally to shorten a time taken to drive the internal combustion engine for catalyst warming.

A torque reducing process reduces torque of a multiphase rotating electric machine when a magnitude of current in a particular phase of the rotating electric machine remains greater than or equal to a given value. A deactivating process deactivates combustion control in a deactivated cylinder and continues combustion control in the remaining cylinders. A fluctuation torque applying process cyclically fluctuates the torque of the rotating electric machine in a cycle that is an integral multiple of a compression top dead center occurrence cycle when the deactivating process is being executed. A prohibiting process prohibits execution of the deactivating process in a predetermined situation where a rotation speed of a rotary shaft of the rotating electric machine is less than or equal to a given speed.
