Abstract

The present application is to implement a temperature raising process for any one of a plurality of exhaust purification devices provided in an exhaust passage, without causing the temperature of other exhaust purification devices to excessively rise. An electronic control unit implements a temperature raising process for raising the temperature of a filter by delaying the ignition timing in an engine in which a catalyst and the filter are provided in an exhaust passage. Furthermore, the electronic control unit implements a prediction process for predicting a convergence value, i.e., a reaching temperature, of the temperature of the catalyst in the case where the engine is continued to be operated under the current operating conditions while the temperature raising process is implemented, and an adjustment process for adjusting the amount of delay of the ignition timing to the side of suppressing the temperature raising of the filter in the case where the reaching temperature predicted in the prediction process exceeds a predetermined upper limit temperature.
