Claim:
1. A control device for a vehicle, the vehicle including: an input shaft to which torque output by an internal combustion engine is transmitted; an output shaft for outputting the torque to drive wheels; a continuously variable transmission; a transmission mechanism; and a clutch mechanism, the continuously variable transmission, the transmission mechanism, and the clutch mechanism being provided between the input shaft and the output shaft, the clutch mechanism being configured to selectively switch between a first transmission path and a second transmission path, the first transmission path transmitting the torque from the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels via the continuously variable transmission, and the second transmission path transmitting the torque from the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels via the transmission mechanism, the clutch mechanism including one clutch and the other clutch, the other clutch being provided in series with respect to the one clutch, the other clutch being provided closer to an output shaft side of the control device than the one clutch, the clutch mechanism configured such that transmission of the torque in a forward direction to the drive wheels via the transmission mechanism is blocked in the case where at least either one of the one clutch and the other clutch is disengaged, the control device comprising wherein the transmission mechanism includes a speed reduction mechanism that has a gear train, and wherein a transmission gear ratio by the transmission mechanism is higher than a maximum transmission gear ratio that can be set by the continuously variable transmission.
