Abstract:
1. A control apparatus for a vehicle equipped with a continuously-variable transmission, the control apparatus comprising: a drive source; a continuously-variable transmitting mechanism including a primary pulley, a secondary pulley, and a power transferring member wound around the primary pulley and the secondary pulley; a friction engagement element provided in a drive-force transfer system between the drive source and the continuously-variable transmitting mechanism, a power-transferring state of the friction engagement element being controlled by an engaging-force control for the friction engagement element; and a control unit including a vehicle-stop LOW shift control section including a vehicle-stop judging section configured to judge whether or not the vehicle is in a stopped state, wherein the vehicle-stop LOW shift control section is configured to start a pulley LOW shift control to shift a pulley ratio of the continuously-variable transmitting mechanism toward a LOW side when the vehicle-stop judging section determines that the vehicle is in the stopped state under a power-transferring state where the friction engagement element is in an engaged state and also when the pulley ratio is not in a LOWEST region, wherein the vehicle-stop LOW shift control section is configured to
