HYBRID VEHICLE

To provide a hybrid vehicle configured so that the fact that turning-off of a vehicle travel-possible state is forgotten when parking the vehicle can be recognized from outside the vehicle.SOLUTION: The hybrid vehicle is allowed to travel by driving a motor 11 by electric power of a battery 17, which when SOC of the battery decreases to a predetermined value or less, automatically starts an engine 13 so that the battery is charged through an electric generator 15. The hybrid vehicle has turning-on/off parts β1 and β2 that perform operation of turning on and off a travel-possible state where the vehicle is permitted to travel and the engine is permitted to be started, which further has detection means 19 that detects whether turning-off of the travel-possible state when parking the hybrid vehicle is forgotten and notification means 31a and 31b, provided on an outer surface of the vehicle, which when it is detected that the turning-off of the travel-possible state is forgotten, visually notify people around that the turning-off is forgotten.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】本発明は、駐車時における車両走行可能状態の切忘れを車外から認識できるハイブリッド車両を提供する。【解決手段】本発明は、バッテリ１７の電力でモータ１１を駆動して車両が走行され、かつバッテリのＳＯＣが所定値以下に低下すると自動的にエンジン１３を始動させ発電機１５を介してバッテリを充電させるハイブリッド車両であり、車両の走行を許可するとともにエンジンの始動を許可することが可能な状態である走行可能状態の入切操作を行う入切部β１、β２とを有するハイブリット車両であって、ハイブリッド車両の駐車時、走行可能状態の切忘れを検出する検出手段１９と、車両の外面に設けられ、走行可能状態の切忘れが検出されると、切忘れを周囲に視覚的に報知する報知手段３１ａ，３１ｂとを有するものとした。【選択図】図３
