A power outputting apparatus determines whether a parking gear and a parking
lock
pole of a parking lock mechanism are engaged. When they are engaged, a second motor
outputs a torque which is the sum of a pushing torque that is slightly greater
than torque pulses generated in a ring gear shaft by the torque pulses of the engine
during cranking, and a reaction force torque necessary for cranking so that a first
motor cranks an engine. As a result, it is possible to suppress the parking gear
and the parking lock pole of the parking lock mechanism from vibrating due to the
torque pulses generated during cranking of the engine, and thus also minimize the
contact noise resulting therefrom.
