Abstract

A drive control system is for a hybrid vehicle. The drive control system includes a power split mechanism, a brake mechanism, a first motor, an output member, a second motor and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to obtain a temperature of the power split mechanism based on a first time that is a duration of a motor driven state, allow the motor driven state when the obtained temperature obtained by the electronic control unit is lower than a predetermined upper limit temperature, and inhibit the motor driven state when the obtained temperature is higher than or equal to the upper limit temperature.
