Abstract
The vehicle comprises an auto-return shift lever which is operated to switch the shift range. When the shift lever is held at the N position for a predetermined holding period or longer during the regeneration control while the shift range is traveling in the D range, the electronic control device of the vehicle performs the braking cooperative control for gradually decreasing the regeneration torque and gradually increasing the wheel brake torque for a predetermined control period, and then switches the shift range to the N range.
Claims5
A control device for a vehicle including an auto-return operation element to be operated to switch a shift range, wherein when the operation element is held at a neutral (N) position for selecting an N range for a predetermined first time period or more during travel with the shift range in a travel range and during regeneration control, the shift range is switched to the N range after braking force cooperation control for decreasing regeneration torque and increasing wheel brake torque is executed for a predetermined second time period.
