This is because an uncomfortable feeling can be suppressed and a shift shock of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 30 can be reduced.
- FIG. 4 is a time chart showing how the cooperative control is performed.
- the coordinated shift of the subtransmission mechanism 30 includes four phases: a preparation phase, a torque phase, an inertia phase, and an end phase.
- the preparatory phase is a phase in which a hydraulic pre-charge is applied to the engagement side frictional engagement element, and the engagement side frictional engagement element is put on standby in a state immediately before engagement.
- the engagement-side frictional engagement element is a frictional engagement element that is engaged at the shift stage after the shift, and is the high clutch 33 in the 1 ⁇ 2 upshift and the low brake 32 in the 2 ⁇ 1 downshift.
- the torque phase lowers the hydraulic pressure supplied to the open side frictional engagement element and increases the hydraulic pressure supplied to the engagement side frictional engagement element, so that the gear stage responsible for torque transmission is engaged with the engagement side from the shift stage of the open side frictional engagement element. This is the phase that shifts to the gear position of the frictional engagement element.
- the disengagement side frictional engagement element is the low brake 32 in the 1 ⁇ 2 up shift and the high clutch 33 in the 2 ⁇ 1 down shift.

Feedback control of the hydraulic pressure supplied to the Low brake 32 and the High clutch 33 is performed. Thereby, the speed ratio of the variator 20 and the subtransmission mechanism 30 is controlled in the reverse direction while realizing the target through speed ratio tRatio.
- the end phase is a phase in which the hydraulic pressure supplied to the open-side frictional engagement element is set to zero to completely open the open-side frictional engagement element, and the supply hydraulic pressure to the engagement-side frictional engagement element is increased to fully engage the engagement-side frictional engagement element. It is.
- the four phases are upshift (auto-up shift) that occurs when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal and the vehicle speed increases, and downshift (coast coast) that occurs when the driver releases the accelerator pedal and the vehicle speed decreases. This occurs in the order of downshift). However, in the upshift that occurs when the driver removes his or her foot from the accelerator pedal (upshift that releases the foot) or the downshift that occurs when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal (a downshift including the kickdown shift) The order of inertia phases is reversed.
- the through speed ratio Ratio does not change before and after the cooperative shift, because the target through speed ratio tRatio is constant before and after the cooperative shift.
- the cooperative control in the present specification is not limited to such a shift mode, and when changing the shift stage of the subtransmission mechanism 30, the speed ratio of the variator 20 is changed in the direction opposite to the speed ratio change direction of the subtransmission mechanism 30. Is used to control the through speed ratio Ratio to the target through speed ratio tRatio in general (cooperative control means).

- step S4 following the determination that the variator down shift determination is established in step S3, it is determined whether or not the vehicle state is in a low departure countermeasure area (determined by the vehicle speed VSP). If Yes (exists in the low departure countermeasure area), the process proceeds to step S5. If No (not present in the low departure countermeasure area), the process proceeds to step S8.
- the Low separation countermeasure region is an operation region (with respect to the target gear ratio) in which it is estimated that when the downshift of the variator 20 is executed, the actual gear ratio overshoots toward the mechanical lowest gear ratio. When the actual gear ratio does not coincide with the driving region estimated to continue for a predetermined time), it is determined that the vehicle is in the Low departure countermeasure region. Specifically, the determination is made based on the vehicle speed determination, and a region where the downshift speed of the variator 20 with the vehicle speed VSP equal to or higher than the threshold is high is defined as a Low departure countermeasure region.
- step S5 following the determination in step S4 that there is a low separation countermeasure area, the variator target gear ratio upper limit value (second gear ratio) is set to a predetermined value higher than the control lowest gear ratio (first gear ratio).

- step S5 the gear ratio is set to a predetermined value (second gear ratio) which is a higher gear ratio than the lowest control gear ratio (first gear ratio), the gear shift speed is increased, and downshift control is executed. Proceed to S7.
- the threshold value of the variator gear ratio deviation is set to a convergence determination value for determining that the control gear ratio has deviated from the target gear ratio of the variator 20.
- step S8 it is determined that the sub-transmission mechanism is in the first speed in step S1, or that it is other than the step-down shift in step S2, or that the variator down shift determination is not established in step S3.
- a variator target speed ratio upper limit value is set in advance.
- the control lowest gear ratio (control Low: first gear ratio) is set, and the process proceeds to the end.
- the variator target speed ratio upper limit value is normally a preset control lowest speed ratio (control Low), but the variator target speed ratio upper limit value has been changed to a predetermined value (second speed ratio). If this is the case, the change to the predetermined value (second gear ratio) is canceled, and the control value is returned from the predetermined value (second gear ratio) to the lowest control gear ratio (control Low: first gear ratio) in step S8.
- the control lowest gear ratio is a fixed value on the high side of the mechanical lowest gear ratio determined by the variator mechanism.
- a step-down shift with a shift of the sub-transmission mechanism is determined at time t2.
- the variator is once shifted down from the high side to the lowest side, and the subtransmission mechanism is lowered. Shifting (second speed ⁇ first speed) is executed (time t2 to time t3 in FIG. 6). Then, after time t3, the variator is shifted from the lowest side to the high side in order to follow the ultimate target through gear ratio.
- the control lowest speed ratio is set as the target speed ratio, and in order to achieve a speed change response, the speed change speed is set to be higher than the speed change speed of the variator in the normal speed change control.
- the actual gear ratio (input rotation / output rotation) of the variator shifts while overshooting further to the low side than the low side gear ratio (control lowest gear ratio) set for control.
- the lowest control gear ratio is set in order to prevent the actual gear ratio from going too low in order to improve the controllability and robustness of the variator.
- the actual gear ratio (input rotation / output rotation) of the variator overshoots the target gear ratio, but the calculated actual gear ratio is processed as the control low gear ratio. Therefore, a variator speed ratio deviation (target-control) occurs in the variator down shift region (F portion in FIG. 6) immediately after time t2 from time t2 to time t3 in FIG. 6, but thereafter, the variator The gear ratio deviation (target-control) is maintained at zero.
- the actual variator speed ratio is the lowest control speed as described above. It is further on the low side than the gear ratio. Therefore, the apparent actual through speed ratio does not change until time t4 when the actual variator speed ratio converges to the control lowest speed ratio.
- the change speed of the target speed ratio is increased in order to make the actual speed ratio of the variator follow the target speed ratio (G section in FIG. 6).
- step S1 When the sub-speed change mechanism 2nd speed condition, the depression 2 ⁇ 1 down shift determination condition, the variator down shift determination condition, and the Low separation countermeasure area condition are satisfied, step S1 ⁇ step S2 ⁇ step S3 ⁇ step S4 in the flowchart of FIG. ⁇ Proceed to step S5.
- the variator target gear ratio upper limit value is set to a predetermined value (upper limit value: second gear ratio) on the higher side than the lowest control gear ratio.
- step S5 the process proceeds from step S5 to step S6 ⁇ step S7, and as long as the variator speed ratio deviation> threshold value in step S7, the flow proceeds from step S6 to step S7 is repeated.
- a variator down shift control is executed in which a predetermined value on the higher side is the final target gear ratio. Thereafter, when it is determined in step S7 that the variator gear ratio deviation ⁇ the threshold value, the process proceeds from step S7 to step S8.
- step S8 the upper limit restriction on the variator target gear ratio upper limit value is released, and the control lowest speed shift is performed. It is returned to the ratio (control Low: first speed ratio).
- step-down shift non-cooperative control operation accompanied by the shift of the auxiliary transmission mechanism in the first embodiment will be described based on the time chart shown in FIG.
- a step-down shift with a shift of the sub-transmission mechanism is determined at time t2.
- the variator 20 is once shifted down from the high side to the lowest side, and the subtransmission mechanism.
- 30 downshifts (second speed ⁇ first speed) are executed (time t2 to time t3 in FIG. 7). Then, after time t3, the variator 20 is shifted from the lowest side to the high side in order to follow the ultimate target through speed ratio.
- the target speed ratio is set to a predetermined value (upper limit value) on the higher side than the control lowest speed ratio. Then, in order to achieve the shift response, the shift speed is increased more than the shift speed of the variator in the normal shift control, and the shift ratio of the variator is changed to the lowest side earlier (J portion in FIG. 7). ). At this time, the actual gear ratio (input rotation / output rotation) of the variator 20 shifts while overshooting further to the low side than a predetermined value (upper limit value) set as the target gear ratio (FIG. 7). Actual variator speed change ratio characteristics indicated by dotted line).
- the actual transmission ratio of the variator 20 overshoots a predetermined value (upper limit value) as a result of increasing the shift speed.
- the predetermined value that is the target gear ratio is set to a gear ratio that is higher than the control lowest gear ratio, the overshoot amount is suppressed to be smaller than that in the comparative example of FIG.
- the actual gear ratio (input rotation / output rotation) of the variator overshoots the target gear ratio, but the calculated actual gear ratio is processed as the lowest control gear ratio. Therefore, among the time t2 to time t3 in FIG. 7, a large variator speed ratio deviation (target-control) occurs in the variator down shift region (K portion in FIG. 7) immediately after time t2, and then the variator shift The ratio deviation (target-control) gradually decreases with time.
- the target speed ratio of the variator 20 is started up from the lowest side to the high side at time t3 in order to follow the ultimate target through speed ratio
- the actual variator speed ratio is already set to the lowest control speed. It is in a state approaching the ratio. Therefore, the actual through speed change ratio starts to change following the target target through speed change ratio that changes with a gentle gradient from time t3 (L portion in FIG. 7).
- the target variator speed ratio converges to the control variator speed ratio at time t4 (variator speed ratio deviation ⁇ threshold)
- the target speed ratio is switched from the predetermined value to the control lowest speed ratio.
- the target speed ratio when the variator 20 is downshifted to the lowest speed ratio is A configuration in which the upper limit regulation value (second gear ratio) is set higher than the control lowest gear ratio (first gear ratio). That is, the lowest control gear ratio is set higher than the lowest mechanical gear ratio, which is the upper limit of the variator 20 on the mechanism.
- the sub-transmission mechanism 30 is faster than the sub-transmission mechanism 30 in order to make the actual through-transmission ratio follow the ultimate target through-transmission ratio. The shift speed of the slow variator 20 is increased.
- the downshift of the variator when the downshift of the variator is started with the control lowest speed ratio as the target speed ratio, the actual speed ratio overshoots toward the mechanical lowest speed ratio.
- the gear speed of the variator 20 at the time of the step-down downshift is not reduced to prevent the “low release shock”, but the variator 20 at the time of the step-down downshift is prevented.
- the shift speed is increased.
- the target gear ratio can be achieved quickly, and improvement in drivability is ensured.
- step S5 when both the variator down shift determination condition in step S3 in FIG. 5 and the low departure countermeasure region condition in step S4 are satisfied, the process proceeds to step S5, where the variator target speed ratio upper limit value is higher than the control lowest speed ratio value. To a predetermined value on the side.
- the variator target speed ratio upper limit value is changed to a predetermined value only when the Low detachment countermeasure region condition that is likely to cause a Low detachment shock in the variator 20 is satisfied. For this reason, generation
- shock shock can be suppressed reliably, preventing the frequent change of the variator target gear ratio upper limit.
- the variator speed ratio deviation which is the difference between the target speed ratio of the variator 20 and the control speed ratio processed as an actual speed ratio in the calculation, is monitored, and the variator speed change is performed.
- a configuration is adopted in which the upper limit restriction of the target gear ratio is canceled when the ratio deviation becomes equal to or less than the threshold value. That is, when the variator target speed ratio upper limit value is set to a predetermined value in step S5 of FIG. 5, the variator down speed change control is executed in step S6 while the variator speed ratio deviation exceeds the threshold value in step S7. .
- step S7 If it is determined in step S7 that the variator speed ratio deviation is equal to or less than the threshold value, the process proceeds to step S8, where the upper limit restriction on the variator target speed ratio upper limit value is released, and the control lowest speed ratio (first speed change) Ratio). Therefore, when the upshift of the variator 20 is actually started after the depression, the actual speed ratio follows the target speed ratio without delaying the response, so that a low release shock does not occur and the controllability of the transmission is improved. In addition, it is possible to improve the drivability.

Abstract
Description
前記バリエータは、変速比を無段階に変化させることができる。
前記副変速機構は、前記バリエータに対して直列に設けられ、前進用変速段として第1変速段と該第1変速段よりも変速比の小さな第2変速段とを有する。
前記協調制御手段は、前記副変速機構の変速段を変更する場合、前記副変速機構を変速させつつ前記バリエータを前記副変速機構の変速方向と逆方向に変速させる協調制御を行う。
前記踏み込み変速制御手段は、アクセルペダルが所定値以上踏み込まれ、且つ、前記副変速機構の変速を伴う踏み込み変速制御判定したとき、前記副変速機構を前記協調制御のときよりも速い変速速度で変速させる非協調制御を行う。
この副変速機付き無段変速機の制御装置において、
前記踏み込み変速制御手段は、踏み込み変速制御が判定されたときの前記バリエータの実変速比が、変速比制御上の上限値として設定されている第1変速比よりもハイ側である場合、前記バリエータを変速する際の前記バリエータの目標変速比を、前記第1変速比の値よりハイ側の規制値である第2変速比とする。
すなわち、変速比制御上の第1変速比は、バリエータの機構上の上限変速比よりもハイ側に設定される。そして、非協調制御による踏み込み変速制御では、到達目標スルー変速比に実スルー変速比を追従させるために、協調制御のときよりも速い変速速度となる副変速機構に対して、副変速機構よりも遅いバリエータの変速速度が上昇される。このため、第1変速比を目標変速比としてバリエータのダウン変速を開始すると、実変速比が機構上の上限変速比に向かってオーバーシュートする。
これに対し、オーバーシュート分を考慮し、バリエータの変速を開始する際、予め目標変速比を第1変速比の値よりハイ側の規制値である第2変速比にしておくと、変速での制御量を決める目標変速比と実変速比の偏差が小さくなり、変速速度を上昇しても実変速比のオーバーシュートが抑えられる。このため、機構上の上限変速比側から離脱して変速するときにバリエータで発生するLow離脱ショックが抑制される。
この結果、副変速機構の変速を伴う踏み込み変速制御時、バリエータで発生するLow離脱ショックを抑制し、運転性の向上を図ることができる。
実施例1における副変速機付き無段変速機の制御装置の構成を、「全体システム構成」、「変速マップによる変速制御構成」、「副変速機構とバリエータの協調制御構成」、「踏み込みダウン変速非協調制御構成」に分けて説明する。
図1は、実施例1の制御装置が適用された副変速機付き無段変速機が搭載された車両の概略構成を示し、図2は、変速機コントローラの内部構成を示す。以下、図1及び図2に基づき、全体システム構成を説明する。
なお、以下の説明において、ある変速機構の「変速比」は、当該変速機構の入力回転速度を当該変速機構の出力回転速度で割って得られる値である。また、「最Low変速比」は当該変速機構の最大変速比を意味し、「最High変速比」は当該変速機構の最小変速比を意味する。
また、車両には、エンジン1の動力の一部を利用して駆動されるオイルポンプ10と、オイルポンプ10からの油圧を調圧して変速機4の各部位に供給する油圧制御回路11と、油圧制御回路11を制御する変速機コントローラ12とが設けられている。以下、各構成について説明する。
図3は、変速機コントローラ12の記憶装置122に格納される変速マップの一例を示す。以下、図3に基づき、変速マップによる変速制御構成を説明する。
この変速マップには、従来のベルト式無段変速機の変速マップと同様に、アクセル開度APO毎に変速線が設定されており、変速機4の変速はアクセル開度APOに応じて選択される変速線に従って行われる。なお、図3には簡単のため、全負荷線(アクセル開度APO=8/8のときの変速線)、パーシャル線(アクセル開度APO=4/8のときの変速線)、コースト線(アクセル開度APO=0のときの変速線)のみが示されている。
図4は、上記協調制御が行われる様子を示したタイムチャートである。副変速機構30の協調変速は、準備フェーズ、トルクフェーズ、イナーシャフェーズ、終了フェーズの4つのフェーズで構成される。
図5は、実施例1の変速機コントローラ12にて実行される踏み込みダウン変速非協調制御処理流れを示す(踏み込み変速制御手段)。以下、踏み込みダウン変速非協調制御処理構成をあらわす図5の各ステップについて説明する。
ここで、パワーON判定は、エンジン側から変速機コントローラ12へ入力される入力トルク信号T-ENGが、T-ENG>所定値、または、アクセル開度APOが、APO>0であることにより判定する。副変速機構30での2→1ダウン変速判定は、車速VSPとアクセル開度APOとプライマリ回転速度Npriにより決まる動作点が、図3に示す変速マップにおけるモード切換ダウン変速線を横切ることやモード切換ダウン変速線と一致した場合で判定する。
ここで、バリエータ20のダウン変速判定は、踏み込みダウン変速が判定されたときのバリエータ20の実変速比が、変速比制御上の上限値として設定されている制御最ロー変速比よりもハイ側であるときに成立とする。一方、踏み込みダウン変速が判定されたときのバリエータ20の実変速比が、制御最ロー変速比と一致、若しくはロー側であり、バリエータ20のダウン変速が不要であるときに不成立とする。
ここで、Low離脱対策領域は、バリエータ20のダウン変速を実行すると目標変速比に対して実変速比がメカ最ロー変速比に向かってオーバーシュートすると推定される運転領域(目標変速比に対して実変速比が一致しない状態が所定時間継続すると推定される運転領域)にあるとき、Low離脱対策領域に有りと判断する。具体的には、車速判定により行うもので、車速VSPが閾値以上のバリエータ20のダウン変速速度が高くなる領域を、Low離脱対策領域とする。
ここで、バリエータ目標変速比上限値とは、バリエータ20によるアップ変速に先行し、バリエータ20を最ロー側に向けてダウン変速を行うときに最終目標とする目標変速比のことである。
ここで、バリエータ変速比偏差の閾値は、バリエータ20の目標変速比に対し制御変速比が乖離している状態から収束したことを判断する収束判定値に設定される。
ここで、バリエータ目標変速比上限値は、通常、予め設定されている制御最ロー変速比(制御Low)とするが、バリエータ目標変速比上限値が所定値(第2変速比)に変更されたときは、所定値(第2変速比)への変更を解除し、ステップS8にて所定値(第2変速比)から制御最ロー変速比(制御Low:第1変速比)に戻す。
実施例1の副変速機付き無段変速機の制御装置における作用を、[比較例の課題]、[踏み込みダウン変速非協調制御作用]に分けて説明する。
まず、前提を説明すると、副変速機付き無段変速機において、副変速機構の変速を伴う踏み込みダウン変速制御判定を行うと、副変速機構とバリエータとの協調制御を止め、非協調制御を行う。
具体的には、駆動力を速やかに立ち上がらせるために、スルー変速比を速やかに変速比大側に変化させる。このために、副変速機構の2→1ダウン変速速度を協調制御のときより速くし、バリエータを到達目標スルー変速比に追従するように変速させる。
このとき、バリエータの実変速比(入力回転/出力回転)は、制御上設定されているロー側の変速比(制御最ロー変速比)よりも更にロー側までオーバーシュートしながら変速することになる(図6の点線にて示す実バリエータ変速比特性)。ここで、制御最ロー変速比を設定しているのは、バリエータの制御性とロバスト性とを向上させるために、実変速比がロー側に行き過ぎないようにしているためである。しかし、バリエータを一旦最ロー側へダウン変速させる状況では、変速速度を上昇させた結果、バリエータの実変速比が制御最ロー変速比(=目標変速比)をオーバーシュートしてしまう。このとき、バリエータの実変速比(入力回転/出力回転)は、目標変速比をオーバーシュートしているが、演算上の実変速比は、制御ロー変速比として処理される。よって、図6の時刻t2~時刻t3のうち、時刻t2の直後のバリエータダウン変速域(図6のF部)にて、バリエータ変速比偏差(目標-制御)が発生するが、その後は、バリエータ変速比偏差(目標-制御)がゼロを維持する。
このとき、積分項が蓄積されるため、バリエータの実変速比を目標変速比へと追従させるために、目標変速比の変化速度を上昇させる(図6のG部)。そして、積分値の蓄積が解消され、バリエータでのアップ変速が開始されるとき、バリエータの目標変速比は更にハイ側を指しているので、実際の変速開始時におけるバリエータの実変速比と目標変速比との偏差は大きくなっている(図6のH部)。このため、バリエータでのメカ最ロー変速比側からのアップ変速による変速比変化が、急激なものとなってしまい、図6のI部に示すように、バリエータにてメカ最ロー変速比側から離脱するとき、車両加速度が瞬間的に突出変動する「Low離脱ショック」と呼ばれるものが発生し、運転者に不快感を与えることとなる。
実施例1における副変速機構の変速を伴う踏み込みダウン変速非協調制御作用を、図5に示すフローチャート及び図7に示すタイムチャートに基づき説明する。
このとき、バリエータ20の実変速比(入力回転/出力回転)は、目標変速比として設定された所定値(上限規制値)よりも更にロー側までオーバーシュートしながら変速することになる(図7の点線にて示す実バリエータ変速比特性)。そして、バリエータ20を一旦最ロー側へダウン変速させる状況では、変速速度を上昇させた結果、バリエータ20の実変速比が所定値(上限規制値)をオーバーシュートしてしまう。しかし、目標変速比である所定値が、制御最ロー変速比よりもハイ側の変速比に設定されているため、オーバーシュート量が図6の比較例の場合に比べて小さく抑えられる。このとき、バリエータの実変速比(入力回転/出力回転)は、目標変速比をオーバーシュートしているが、演算上の実変速比は、制御最ロー変速比として処理される。よって、図7の時刻t2~時刻t3のうち、時刻t2の直後のバリエータダウン変速域(図7のK部)にて、バリエータ変速比偏差(目標-制御)が大きく発生し、その後、バリエータ変速比偏差(目標-制御)は、時間の経過とともに徐々に小さくなる。
このとき、バリエータ20でアップ変速が開始される時刻t3でのバリエータ変速比偏差は小さく、さらに、時刻t3以降におけるバリエータ変速比偏差は徐々にゼロに収束していく(図7のM部)。このため、バリエータ20での最ロー側からのアップ変速による実変速比に変化が見られ、且つ、変速比変化も滑らかなものとなり、図7のN部に示すように、バリエータ20にてメカ最ロー変速比側から離脱するとき、「Low離脱ショック」と呼ばれるものの発生が回避される。
すなわち、制御最ロー変速比は、バリエータ20の機構上の上限値であるメカ最ロー変速比よりもハイ側に設定される。そして、踏み込みダウン変速制御では、到達目標スルー変速比に実スルー変速比を追従させるために、前記協調制御のときよりも速い変速速度となる副変速機構30に対して、副変速機構30よりも遅いバリエータ20の変速速度が上昇される。このため、比較例のように、制御最ロー変速比を目標変速比としてバリエータのダウン変速を開始すると、実変速比がメカ最ロー変速比に向かってオーバーシュートする。
これに対し、オーバーシュート分を考慮し、バリエータ20のダウン変速を開始する際、予め目標変速比を制御最ロー変速比の値よりハイ側の所定値(=上限規制値)にしておくと、ダウン変速での制御量を決める目標変速比と実変速比の偏差が小さくなり、変速速度を上昇しても実変速比のオーバーシュートが抑えられる。このため、メカ最ロー変速比側から離脱してアップ変速するときにバリエータ20で発生するLow離脱ショックが抑制される。
さらに、実変速比が目標変速比をオーバーシュートしないように、踏み込みダウン変速時のバリエータ20の変速速度を低下させて「Low離脱ショック」を防止するものではなく、踏み込みダウン変速時のバリエータ20の変速速度を上昇している。このため、踏み込みダウン協調変速時に、目標とする変速比が素早く達成でき、運転性の向上が確保される。
この結果、副変速機構30の変速を伴う踏み込みダウン変速制御時、バリエータ20で発生するLow離脱ショックを抑制し、運転性の向上を図ることができる。
すなわち、図5のステップS3のバリエータダウン変速判定条件と、ステップS4のLow離脱対策領域条件が共に成立するとき、ステップS5へ進み、バリエータ目標変速比上限値が制御最ロー変速比の値よりハイ側の所定値にされる。
したがって、バリエータ20でLow離脱ショックが発生する可能性が高いLow離脱対策領域条件が成立するときに限り、バリエータ目標変速比上限値が所定値に変更される。このため、バリエータ目標変速比上限値の頻繁な変更を防止しながら、確実にLow離脱ショックの発生を抑制することができる。
すなわち、図5のステップS5でバリエータ目標変速比上限値が所定値にされると、ステップS7にてバリエータ変速比偏差が閾値を超えている間、ステップS6にてバリエータダウン変速制御が実行される。そして、ステップS7にてバリエータ変速比偏差が閾値以下になり収束したと判断されると、ステップS8へ進み、バリエータ目標変速比上限値の上限規制が解除され、制御最ロー変速比(第1変速比)に戻される。
したがって、踏み込みダウン後から実際にバリエータ20のアップ変速が開始されるとき、目標変速比に実変速比が応答遅れすることなく追従し、Low離脱ショックが発生せず、変速機の制御性の向上及び運転性の向上を図ることが可能となる。
