Abstract: A control device and method controls a vehicle having an internal combustion engine connected to an automatic transmission via a torque converter with a lockup device. The torque of the internal combustion engine is limited the by a torque limit value based on a speed difference between an input rotational speed and an output rotational speed of the torque converter during acceleration in a non-lockup state. The torque-limiting of the internal combustion engine is prohibited torque-limiting upon a prescribed condition being met. The prescribed condition is met by a heating request, during hill climbing/towing, during travel at high vehicle speeds, when the accelerator pedal opening angle exceeds or is equal to a prescribed opening angle, when the torque limit value is greater than a target torque, in a range other than a D range, or in a mode other than normal mode.

[SOLUTIONS] Provided is an automatic transmission, including: a torque converter that is disposed downstream of a drive source in a power transmission path and is provided with a lockup clutch; and a transmission mechanism that is disposed downstream of the torque converter and changes a speed ratio between an input shaft and an output shaft, in which in a state where the lockup clutch is engaged, when a rotation speed of the input shaft reaches a first rotation speed, the automatic transmission starts upshift, and in a state where the lockup clutch is disengaged or slips, when the rotation speed of the input shaft reaches a second rotation speed obtained by subtracting a first predetermined rotation speed from the first rotation speed, the automatic transmission starts upshift, and the first predetermined rotation speed decreases as an output torque of the drive source increases.

Abstract: A belt-type continuously variable transmission includes a primary pulley, a secondary pulley, and a belt wound around the primary pulley and the secondary pulley. A controller performs a process, when performing a low speed position return shift to shift a transmission ratio toward a lowermost speed position while a vehicle is decelerating. The process includes: calculating a primary pressure actual lower limit, at which the belt actually starts to slip, based on the transmission ratio and a deceleration of the vehicle; setting a lower limit of a setpoint of the primary pressure to the primary pressure actual lower limit; setting the primary pressure actual lower limit higher with a locking tendency of a vehicle wheel detected than that without the locking tendency detected; and setting the primary pressure actual lower limit with the locking tendency detected to increase as the transmission ratio varies toward the lowermost speed position.
