Systems and methods are provided for presenting in a hybrid electric vehicle display, proximate to or in some relation to each other, engine power usage, motor-generator power usage, and battery state of charge information. By combining the display of engine power usage, motor-generator power, and battery state of charge information, power distribution and related information may be presented to the operator of a vehicle to explain the vehicle's performance from a power split output and usage perspective. This can provide reassurance or confirmation that the vehicle is operating as it should, identify a problematic condition, etc.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling engine operation in a hybrid electric vehicle equipped with stop/start capabilities under conditions where requested power or torque is in a hysteresis region between an engine pull up threshold and an engine pull down threshold. In one example, a method comprises obtaining an adjusted engine pull down threshold upon the requested power or torque remaining in the hysteresis region for more than a threshold duration, and commanding the engine deactivated in response to the adjusted engine pull down threshold being equivalent to the requested power or torque. In this way, a motor/generator may be used to meet the requested torque response rather than the engine under such conditions, which may improve fuel economy.

The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of appropriately stabilizing a posture of a straddle-type vehicle.

In the controller and the control method according to the present invention, when the straddle-type vehicle jumps, automatic posture control for controlling the posture of the straddle type vehicle by increasing or reducing a rotational frequency of a wheel is executed in accordance with posture information at the time when the straddle-type vehicle jumps. Furthermore, in the case where it is determined whether a driver has intention to control the posture of the straddle-type vehicle at the time when the straddle-type vehicle jumps without relying on the automatic posture control and where it is determined that the driver has the intention, the automatic posture control is prohibited.
