Vehicle control device
A vehicle control device controls a vehicle that includes an actuator capable of generating a gas flow at a scavenging target portion of an internal combustion engine during an engine stop. The vehicle control device is configured, when at least one of a specified temperature condition and a specified humidity condition is met after the engine stop, to execute a scavenging control. The specified temperature condition is that, after the engine stop, a temperature correlation value correlated with the temperature of the scavenging target portion is higher than that at the engine stop time point. The specified humidity condition is that, after the engine stop, a humidity correlation value correlated with the absolute humidity of the gas at the scavenging target portion is higher than that at the engine stop time point. The scavenging control operates the actuator to cause the gas flow at the scavenging target portion.
