Claim 6:
7. A transmission mode control system to be applied to a vehicle, the transmission mode control system comprising:
a control device configured to control a transmission mode of the vehicle;
a first input device configured to accept a switching operation of switching the transmission mode from an automatic transmission mode, in which a gear shift is executed automatically, to a manual transmission mode, in which a gear shift is executed according to an operation by a driver who drives the vehicle; and
a second input device configured to accept a switching operation of switching the transmission mode from the manual transmission mode to the automatic transmission mode, wherein
the control device comprises a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, and
the processor is configured to execute a process comprising
switching the transmission mode from the manual transmission mode to the automatic transmission mode when a switching time set as a switching condition elapses after an operation of the first input device by the driver, and
updating the switching time to a set cancel time shorter than the switching time when the driver performs a certain cancel operation multiple times within an erroneous operation determination time shorter than the switching time after the operation of the first input device by the driver, the certain cancel operation being an operation of the second input device by the driver.
