Abstract
The vehicle includes a power source, a power transmission device that transmits power from the power source to a drive wheel, and an operation device that is operated by a driver to an operation position corresponding to a shift position of the power transmission device. The control device of the vehicle includes a shift control unit that changes an N-position switching time from when the vehicle is operated to the neutral operation position until when the vehicle is switched to the neutral position based on the vehicle state. The shift control unit shortens the N-position switching time as compared with a case where the driving force of the drive wheel is large.
Claims5
A control device for a vehicle, the vehicle including a power source, a power transmission device configured to transmit power from the power source to a drive wheel, and an operation device configured to be operated by a driver to an operation position corresponding to a shift position of the power transmission device, the power transmission device being a device configured in such a manner that the shift position is switched by electrical control based on the operation position, the shift position including a neutral position in which power transmission in the power transmission device is interrupted, and the operation position including a neutral operation position for selecting the neutral position, the control device comprising a shift control unit configured to change a neutral position switching time based on a vehicle state, the neutral position switching time being a time from when the operation device is operated to the neutral operation position to when the shift position is switched to the neutral position, wherein
- the shift control unit sets the neutral position switching time to a smaller value when a driving force of the drive wheel is large than when the driving force of the drive wheel is small.
