Vehicle and method for controlling the same

摘要

A vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle are capable of preventing slip of a belt of a continuously variable transmission at an appropriate timing. A control unit included in the vehicle includes a state information obtaining unit that obtains information indicating a state of a torque damping mechanism provided on a torque transmission path between a second pulley of a continuously variable transmission and a drive wheel, and a clamping force changing processing unit that changes the clamping forces of the first pulley of the continuously variable transmission and the second pulley, based on the state of the torque damping mechanism.

1. A vehicle comprising:
an engine; a continuously variable transmission that receives a torque from the engine, the continuously variable transmission including a stationary sheave, a movable sheave provided opposite to and capable of moving relative to the stationary sheave, and an actuator that moves the movable sheave; a control device arranged and programmed to drive the actuator to control a clamping force that is a force to clamp a belt with the stationary sheave and the movable sheave; a drive wheel that receives a torque from the continuously variable transmission; and a torque damping mechanism provided on a torque transmission path between the continuously variable transmission and the drive wheel, to delay timing of transmission of torque fluctuation with a negative angular acceleration occurring at a downstream torque transmission member positioned downstream of the torque damping mechanism to an upstream torque transmission member positioned upstream of the torque damping mechanism, in which a rotation direction of the downstream torque transmission member is defined as positive; whereinthe control device includes:
a state information obtaining unit that obtains information indicating a state of the torque damping mechanism; and a clamping force changing processing unit that changes the clamping force based on the state of the torque damping mechanism.
