Control device and control method for vehicle
First Claim
1. A control device for a vehicle switching a shift range of an automatic transmission with an actuator, comprising:
- shift selecting unit receiving a selection of one of shift positions by a driver;
control unit switching the shift range to a parking range with the actuator when a vehicle electric power source is turned off or when a drive power source stops, whereinin a state in which the vehicle electric power source is in an ON state, or in a state in which the drive power source is running, the control unit maintains a neutral range when the vehicle electric power is turned off or when the drive power source stops until a first predetermined period has passed after the shift selecting unit receives the selection of the neutral position, whereinthe control unit switches the shift range to the parking range with the actuator when the vehicle electric power is turned off or when the driving power source stops, after the first predetermined period has passed after the shift selecting unit receives the selection of the neutral position, andwherein when the neutral range is maintained in a state in which the vehicle electric power source is in an OFF state, or in a state in which the drive power source is stopping, only for a second predetermined period, the control unit brings a part of the vehicle power source to a started up state and alarms that the vehicle is in a state in which the neutral range is maintained.

Abstract
This control device for a vehicle switches a shift range of an automatic transmission through the use of an actuator, wherein the control device for a vehicle is characterized in being provided with a shift selection unit for receiving a shift position selection from a driver and a control unit for switching the shift range to a parking range through the use of an actuator when a vehicle power source turns off or when a drive power source stops, the control unit maintaining a neutral range, when the vehicle power source turns off or when the drive power source stops, until the elapse of a first prescribed time after the shift selection unit receives a neutral position selection while the vehicle power source is on or while the drive power source is driving.

7. A control method for a vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving a selection of one shift position of a plurality of shift positions by a driver with a shift selecting unit; and switching, by a control unit, the shift range to a parking range through the use of an actuator when a vehicle electric power source is turned off or when a drive power source stops, wherein in a state in which the vehicle electric power source is in an ON state, or in a state in which the drive power source is running, the control unit maintains a neutral range when the vehicle electric power is turned off or when the drive power source stops until a first predetermined period has passed after the shift selecting unit receives the selection of the neutral position, wherein the control unit switches the shift range to the parking range with the actuator when the vehicle electric power is turned off or when the driving power source stops, after the first predetermined period has passed after the shift selecting unit receives the selection of the neutral position, and wherein when the neutral range is maintained in a state in which the vehicle electric power source is in an OFF state, or in a state in which the drive power source is stopping, only for a second predetermined period, the control unit brings a part of the vehicle power source to a started up state and alarms that the vehicle is in a state in which the neutral range is maintained. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
