Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
When simultaneous depression of an accelerator pedal ( 2 ) and a brake pedal ( 4 ) is detected, an electronic control unit ( 1 ) inhibits a downshift of an automatic transmission ( 11 ) and performs output suppression control for an engine ( 6 ), thereby making it possible to suppress the increase of vehicle drive force caused by the downshift and maintain a constant vehicle deceleration rate by an easier operation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A control device for a vehicle, to be applied to a vehicle that acquires drive force by transmitting output of a drive source to a drive wheel via a transmission, the control device comprising: a processor circuit configured to execute downshifting of the transmission, wherein the downshifting is limited in response to simultaneous operation of an accelerator and a brake, wherein the processor circuit is configured to reduce the output of the drive s…
