Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed is a vehicle control apparatus which can prevent the deterioration of drivability. The ECU can set a control accelerator opening degree to be converted when a control permission condition is established. The control accelerator opening degree is equal to or larger than an accelerator lower limit which is larger than an idle determination value for determining an automatic stopping of an engine by an eco-run. The control accelerator opening degree thus set can prevent the drivability from being deteriorated without the automatic stopping of the engine being caused even if the accelerator opening degree is converted to reduce the torque of the engine with the establishment of the control permission condition.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle control apparatus for a vehicle provided with a power source, an accelerator pedal, and a brake pedal, the vehicle control apparatus comprising: an accelerator opening degree detection unit that detects a depression amount of the accelerator pedal as an actual accelerator opening degree; a brake detection unit that detects a depression of the brake pedal; a power transmission interruption unit that interrupts a power transmission to be t…
