A control system and method applied to a hybrid vehicle by which an excessive decrease of the remaining battery charge can be prevented while driving in a traffic jam. In the method, the remaining battery charge of the battery device is detected; and whether the vehicle is driving in a traffic jam is determined; and the charging device is made to charge the battery device if the detected remaining battery charge of the battery device is below a first predetermined value, and if it is determined that the vehicle is driving in a traffic jam.

An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said closure container comprises a substantially tubular wall portion extending from said closure and a cap member sealingly fitted to said wall portion to form said closure container, wherein said cap member comprises said rupturable member. 6. An apparatus according to claim 5, wherein on closing of the first container by the closure, the closure container is moved towards the rupturing member, such that when the closure container is in the closed position, the rupturable member is ruptured by the rupturing member and the contents of the closure container are prevented from being released from the closure container by the sealing action between the rupturing member and the cap member. 7. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the conduit extends below the surface of the first liquid in the first container. 8. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the propellant fluid comprises a pressurized gas or a gas/liquid mixture. 9. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the conduit contains a number of additives arranged at different positions along the length of the conduit. 10. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the additive is a liquid or solid in pourable form. 11. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the additive is a product selected from the following: coloring agents, flavoring agents, fragrances, pharmaceutical components, chemicals, nutrients, liquids containing gases in solution. 12. An apparatus according to claim 4, comprising two or more conduits, each having a first end communicating with the second container and a second end communicating with the first container. 13. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein each conduit comprises a plastic tube of circular cross-section. 14. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein each conduit comprises a tube of internal dimensions sufficiently small to prevent the first liquid entering the conduit through the second end of the conduit. 15. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein each conduit is provided with a valve at the second end of the conduit remote from the second container. 16. An apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the valve comprises an expandable tubular member and a sleeve member surrounding at least a portion of said expandable tubular member, wherein the expandable tubular member has a closed end and at least one aperture adjacent to the closed end adapted to permit the expulsion of fluid under pressure from the expandable tubular member, and is expandable between a first unexpanded sate in which the aperture is closed by contact with either the sleeve or a part of the expandable tubular member and a second expanded state in which the aperture is open. 17. An apparatus according go claim 16, wherein the expandable tubular member comprises a corrugated portion adapted to concertina between said unexpanded and expanded states. 18. An apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the aperture is provided in a concertina-like rib of said corrugated portion. 19. An apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the aperture is provided in a uniform diameter portion of the expandable tubular member, and the sleeve comprises an upper portion of larger diameter which fits around the corrugated portion of the expandable tubular member and a lower portion of smaller diameter which fits sealingly around the uniform diameter portion of the expandable tubular member. 20. An apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the valve comprises a hollow tubular member having a fattened end portion of resilient plastics material, the flattened end portion comprising two opposing walls held in contact with each other by the resilience of the plastics material and adapted to move out of contact with each other when the hollow tub
