Overall control system for a posture control apparatus and a continuously variable transmission of a vehicle

摘要

When understeer detected for a vehicle during cornering is rectified by performing control to reduce the engine output, the reduction in engine output is accompanied by a shifting down of the gear ratio of a continuously variable transmission from a gear ratio that is based on gearing characteristics that are set in advance. By doing so, the reduction in engine speed that accompanies the reduction in engine output can be suppressed, thereby improving the acceleration of the vehicle following the rectification of the understeer.
