Abstract: A control system for a vehicle including a continuously variable is constructed: such that a target output of a prime mover for achieving a target driving force is determined on the basis of the target driving force; such that a target output speed is determined on the basis of the target output; such that a gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission is controlled so that an output speed of the prime mover may be the target output speed; such that a target output torque of the prime mover for achieving the target driving force is determined on the basis of the target driving force; and such that a load of the prime mover is controlled on the basis of the target output torque. The control system further comprises a corrector for correcting a control quantity to control the load of the prime mover so that the output torque of the prime mover may have the sum of the target output torque and an output torque for keeping the idle run of the prime mover.
