Control system for vehicle

摘要

A demand driving force parameter indicative of a demand driving force of the engine is set based on the accelerator pedal operation amount, and a target value of an engine driving force control amount is set based on the demand driving force parameter. The engine driving force control amount is controlled so as to coincide with the target value. A target rotational speed of the engine is set based on the demand driving force parameter, and the continuously variable transmission is controlled so that the rotational speed of the engine coincides with the target rotational speed. One of a first operation mode and a second operation mode is selectable, wherein the fuel consumption rate in the second operation mode is less than the fuel consumption rate in the first operation mode. When the second operation mode is selected, the demand driving force parameter corresponding to the accelerator pedal operation amount is set to a value which is smaller than a value of the demand driving force parameter in the first operation mode, and the target value is calculated based on a first predetermined characteristic preliminarily set according to the engine rotational speed and the demand driving force parameter. The first predetermined characteristic is set so that the target value corresponding to the same engine rotational speed is substantially constant in a first predetermined range of the demand driving force parameter.
