To prevent noise caused by actuating an internal combustion engine from giving a feeling of discomfort to a user even if the internal combustion engine is actuated during performing of a my room electric power generation mode in a hybrid vehicle which is configured to be electrically connectable to an electric power supply device outside the vehicle.SOLUTION: The hybrid vehicle has a my room electric power generation mode as a control mode during stoppage of the vehicle. The my room electric power generation mode is the control mode in which travelling of the vehicle is prohibited and an on-vehicle auxiliary device can be allowed to be actuated by electric power generated by power of an engine, with the electric power supply device not connected to the vehicle. The vehicle is configured in such a way that a user can set an upper limit of noise level (allowable noise level) caused by actuation of the engine when the engine is actuated, in the my room electric power generation mode. When the engine is actuated in the my room electric power generation mode, an ECU of the vehicle controls the engine so that the noise level does not surpass the noise level set by the user.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10 【課題】車外の給電装置に電気的に接続可能に構成されたハイブリッド車両において、マイルーム発電モードの実行中に内燃機関が作動された場合であっても、内燃機関の作動による騒音によってユーザに不快感を与えないことである。【解決手段】車両は、停車中の制御モードとして、マイルーム発電モードを有する。マイルーム発電モードは、給電装置が車両に接続されていない状態で、車両の走行を禁止し、かつ、エンジンの動力で発電された電力で車載の補機装置を作動することを許容する制御モードである。車両は、マイルーム発電モードにおいて、エンジンが作動された際のエンジンの作動に伴なう騒音レベルの上限（許容騒音レベル）を、ユーザが設定可能に構成される。マイルーム発電モードにおいてエンジンが作動された際に、車両のＥＣＵは、ユーザにより設定された騒音レベルの上限を超えないようにエンジンを制御する。【選択図】図１０
