Abstract: The control mode is switched between a first control mode configured to control the speed change pump based on an actual speed ratio being an actual speed ratio of the variator, and a second control mode configured to control the speed change pump based on an actual working pressure being an actual working pressure of the variator. In the first control mode, the actual speed ratio is calculated based on a detected value of a vehicle speed; and the speed change pump is controlled to cause the actual speed ratio to approach the target speed ratio. In the second control mode, the actual working pressure is detected and the speed change pump is controlled to cause the actual working pressure to approach a target working pressure corresponding to the target speed ratio. In a situation or a condition where the detection accuracy of the vehicle speed by the vehicle speed sensor decreases, the control mode is switched from the first control mode to the second control mode.
