Control apparatus for vehicle

A control apparatus for a vehicle provided with an internal combustion engine, an oil pump actuated by said engine for pressurizing operation oil, and a belt-type continuously variable transmission to which the operation oil pressurized by said oil pump is supplied, said control apparatus comprising:

• oil pressure control means for performing a transmission control by controlling an operation oil pressure supplied to said continuously variable transmission;
• automatic stop control means for automatically stopping said engine when a predetermined condition is satisfied;
• transmission ratio detecting means for detecting a transmission ratio of said continuously variable transmission;
• and
• continuable time period setting means for setting a continuable time period of the automatic stop of said engine by calculating a maximum value of the continuable time period of the automatic stop of the engine depending on the detected transmission ratio at the time the engine stops,
• wherein said automatic stop control means includes a timer for measuring a continuation time period of the automatic stop of said engine and terminates the automatic stop of said engine to restart said engine when the continuation time period reaches the continuable time period.
