A control system of a vehicular continuously variable transmission having a manual transmission mode comprises speed ratio changing when a manual transmission mode is chosen and a speed range is manually selected for changing a speed ratio of the selected speed range in the up-shift direction as the engine speed becomes high on the side of low speed ranges and in the down-shift direction as the vehicle speed becomes high on the side of high speed ranges. Further, in the manual transmission mode, when the engine speed reaches a lower limit value without making a down-shift, the speed ratio is controlled so as to hold the engine speed at the lower limit value. Thus constituted continuously variable transmission provides a vehicle with miscellaneous advantages such as an easy handling, smooth acceleration/deceleration performance, extended maximum speed and the like when the manual transmission mode is selected.
