A catalyst warm-up control is carried out in a state with a first exhaust valve closed and a second exhaust valve opened. After completion of the catalyst warm-up, if there is an acceleration request, exhaust gas temperature is acquired.

If the exhaust gas temperature is higher than the predetermined value, the second exhaust valve is fully closed to thereby introduce the whole amount of exhaust gas to a turbine. A vehicle control device that achieves both prevention of catalyst deactivation and acceleration performance enhancement can be thus provided.

Devices, methods and systems describe a turn signal activation system. As the navigation system determines that the vehicle is approaching a turn or other operation, the turn signal may be automatically activated in the appropriate direction (e.g., right-turn signal for a right turn, and a left-turn signal for a left turn). Once the navigation system determines that it is appropriate to deactivate the turn signal, the turn signal may be automatically deactivated. In this fashion, other drivers on the road may be able to anticipate the actions of the vehicle based on the activation and deactivation of the turn signals, and thereby prevent accidents from occurring.
