  • Patent number: 12552248
    Abstract: A vehicle selects a parking position or a neutral position when a state in which a P range button (2) or an N range button (4) is operated overlaps a state in which a D range button (5) or an R range button (3) is operated. Thereafter, the vehicle maintains the parking position or neutral position when the operation of P range button (2) or N range button (4) is released to switch to a state in which D range button (5) or R range button (3) is operated. This allows the vehicle to suppress a false start and inhibit the selection of a shift position that is different from the intention of the driver.
