Continuously variable transmission, method for controlling continuously variable transmission, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

A method for controlling a continuously variable transmission that includes a first pulley and a second pulley each including a fixed pulley and a movable pulley, and an endless member wound around the first pulley and the second pulley, and that continuously changes a speed ratio by controlling a thrust of the movable pulleys with a hydraulic pressure, wherein

• the method comprises:
• making the thrust of the movable pulleys smaller as a rotation speed of the first pulley decreases;
• and
• when the rotation speed of the first pulley is lower than a predetermined rotation speed, not making the thrust of the movable pulleys in a case where the speed ratio is on a Low side of a predetermined speed ratio smaller than the thrust of the movable pulleys in a case where the speed ratio is on a High side of the predetermined speed ratio.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer-executable program for a continuously variable transmission that includes a first pulley and a second pulley each including a fixed pulley and a movable pulley, and an endless member wound around the first pulley and the second pulley, and that continuously changes a speed ratio by controlling a thrust of the movable pulleys with a hydraulic pressure, wherein

• the program causes a computer to execute instructions for:
• making the thrust of the movable pulleys smaller as a rotation speed of the first pulley decreases;
• and
• when the rotation speed of the first pulley is lower than a predetermined rotation speed, not making the thrust of the movable pulleys in a case where the speed ratio is on a Low side of a predetermined speed ratio smaller than the thrust of the movable pulleys in a case where the speed ratio is on a High side of the predetermined speed ratio.
