Patent ID: 8838351

Claim:
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 is configured to transmit the drive force from the drive source to a wheel when the shift mechanism is arranged at the drive position, the drive control device is configured to block 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, and when executing of the drive force limiting process, the control section changes a degree of limiting of the drive force output from the drive source in accordance with an acceleration of the vehicle.
