Abstract
A vehicle control device includes control means for executing coasting control, in which a friction engaging element is disengaged and a rotation speed of a rotary shaft of a drive source is set at zero, when a shift range corresponds to a travel range and a coasting condition is established, and the control means executes the coasting control when the shift range is modified to a neutral range.
Claims8
A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle in which a friction engaging element is provided between a drive source and a drive wheel, comprising:
- a controller configured to execute coasting control to disengage the friction engaging element and set a rotation speed of a rotary shaft of the drive source at zero when a shift range corresponds to a travel range and a coasting condition is established, the shift range being selected by a driver,
- wherein the controller is configured to
- execute the coasting control when the shift range is modified to a neutral range, and
- execute the coasting control when the shift range corresponds to the neutral range and an accelerator pedal is depressed.
