Method of controlling speed reduction ratio in a continuously variable speed transmission.

摘要

A method of controlling speed reduction ratio in a continuously variable speed transmission comprises the steps of setting a prescribed value of a parameter representing a driver's intention of acceleration and corresponding to an accelerator opening which is opened to a certain extent from a fully closed condition, setting a reference engine speed corresponding to the parameter so as to increase as said parameter increases from said prescribed parameter value when said parameter is in a range higher than said prescribed parameter value, setting said reference engine speed so as to increase as said parameter decreases from said prescribed parameter value when said parameter is in a range lower than said prescribed parameter value, and controlling said speed reduction ratio so that the engine speed coincides with said reference engine speed.
