Abstract:
1. A shift control system for a hybrid vehicle comprising an engine and a motor as power sources, the system comprising: a driving condition detector which detects whether a kick-down shift-request occurs in an EV (Electric Vehicle); and a hybrid control unit which changes a driving mode from the EV (Electric Vehicle) mode to an HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) mode by connecting an engine clutch when the kick-down shift-request is detected and an engine is being operated in the EV mode, and executes a kick-down shift in the HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) mode after completion of changing the driving mode from the EV mode to the HEV mode; wherein the hybrid control unit executes the kick-down shift in the EV mode when the kick-down shift-request is detected and the engine is not operated.
