Abstract: The disclosure provides a vehicle control device and method for controlling a vehicle. The vehicle control device includes a gear shift member, having a parking brake keeping a vehicle in a stationary state, a drive gear keeping driving the vehicle, and a park gear keeping the vehicle in a parked state; a control switch configured to be able to control the parking brake and shift to the park gear; a control member performing following controls when the vehicle is in the parked state: when the control switch is operated for a period of time shorter than a prescribed time, the control member shifts to the park gear and executes linked parking that links an operation of the parking brake, and during the execution of the linked parking, when the control switch is operated for a period of time longer than the prescribed time, the control member releases the parking brake.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a gear changing part having a parking brake holding the vehicle in a stationary state, a driving gear that maintains driving the vehicle, and a parking gear that holds a parked state; a control switch disposed in the gear changing part and able to perform actuation of the parking brake and the parking gear simultaneously through an operation of pressing the control switch; a braking force holding part holding a braking force when the vehicle generates the braking force based on at least one of a driver operating a brake or operating the control switch; and a control part performing: when the control switch is pressed, performing a linked parking control so that the parking brake performs a linked actuation while the gear changing part is shifted to the parking gear. After the linked parking control ends, the holding of the braking force is released.

Abstract: A vehicle control device and method includes: a gear shift member having a parking brake, a drive gear, and a park gear; a hydraulic brake decelerating the vehicle; a vehicle speed detection member; a control switch, which, when pressed, simultaneously activating the parking brake and the park gear; a control member. When the control member determines the vehicle speed exceeds a first threshold during an operation of the control switch, the vehicle remains in a drive gear state, and the hydraulic brake is activated to decelerate the vehicle; when the control member determines the vehicle speed is lower than the first threshold, the vehicle stays in the drive gear state, and the parking brake is activated. When the vehicle speed changes from the first to a second threshold, the hydraulic brake stops operating, the gear shift member shifts to the park gear, and the parking brake is maintained.
