Patent ID: 8690733

Claim:
A vehicle control system for a vehicle including an oil pump for producing a hydraulic pressure by being driven by a drive force of an engine and a friction element interposed between the engine and drive wheels and engaged by having the hydraulic pressure supplied thereto, comprising: an engine automatic stopping unit which automatically stops the engine when an engine automatic stop condition holds and restarting the engine when the engine automatic stop condition no longer holds; a differential rotation calculating unit which calculates differential rotation which is a rotation speed difference between an input side and an output side of the friction element while the engine is automatically stopped; and an engagement time delaying unit which delays a time required until the friction element is completely engaged when a switch from a non-driving position to a driving position is detected or when the engine automatic stop condition no longer holds until the differential rotation of the friction element disappears after the engine automatic stop condition holds as compared with the case where the switch from the non-driving position to the driving position is detected or the engine automatic stop condition no longer holds after the differential rotation of the friction element disappears.
