Claim:
1. A control apparatus for a vehicle provided with a continuously variable transmission, comprising an acceleration requirement determining portion configured to determine whether an operator of the vehicle requires acceleration of the vehicle, on the basis of an actual amount of operation of a vehicle accelerating member by the operator, a first restricted accelerator operation amount setting portion configured to set a restricted amount of operation of the vehicle accelerating member such that the restricted amount increases with an increase of a running speed of the vehicle, when the acceleration requirement determining portion has determined that the operator of the vehicle requires the acceleration of the vehicle, and a shift control portion configured to control a speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission on the basis of the restricted amount of operation of the vehicle accelerating member, said control apparatus further comprising: a second restricted accelerator operation amount setting portion configured to decrease the restricted amount of operation of the vehicle accelerating member from a value immediately prior to a moment of determination of a releasing action of the vehicle accelerating member, at a rate lower than a rate of decrease of the actual amount of operation of the vehicle accelerating member after the moment of determination of the rapid releasing action, and an upper limit stop processing portion configured to limit the restricted amount of operation of the vehicle accelerating member after a moment of the determination that the operator of the vehicle requires the acceleration of the vehicle, such that the restricted amount of operation is not larger than the actual amount of operation.
