If it is detected by the speed detection section (30) that the speed is less than a predetermined value, operation of the engine (4) is prohibited by the control section (6). Furthermore, a delay section is provided for delaying removal of the operation prohibition of the engine (4) when it is decided by the decision section that the stop of the vehicle is a stop at a stopping place.
