Abstract:
1. A drive control device for a vehicle, comprising: a control section that adjusts drive force output from a drive source in accordance with operation of an accelerator; and a shift mechanism switched selectively to a drive position and a non-drive position, wherein the drive control device transmits the drive force from the drive source to a wheel when the shift mechanism is arranged at the drive position, the drive control device blocks transmission of the drive force from the drive source to the wheel when the shift mechanism is arranged at the non-drive position, the control section is configured to execute a drive force limiting process through which the drive force output from the drive source is decreased when the shift mechanism is switched from the non-drive position to the drive position with the accelerator held in an ON state, the non-drive position is one of a plurality of non-drive positions including a neutral position and a park position, and the control section is configured to execute the drive force limiting process with a smaller decrease amount of the drive force of the drive source when the shift mechanism is switched from the neutral position to the drive position than when the shift mechanism is switched from the park position to the drive position.
