First Claim
Patent Images
1. A rough terrain vehicle comprising:
- a forward/reverse movement command unit configured to issue a command for forward or reverse movement;
a traveling drive unit configured to generate a traveling drive force in a direction commanded by the forward/reverse movement command unit responsive to an operation amount of an accelerator pedal, by transmitting an output of an engine to vehicle wheels; and
a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the vehicle is in a reverse running state in which traveling is taking place in a direction opposite to the direction commanded by the forward/reverse movement command unit;
wherein the determination unit determines the reverse running state in a case that an engine rotational speed of the engine decreases when the traveling drive force is generated.

Abstract
A determination unit in an ECU of a rough terrain vehicle determines a reverse running state in a case that an engine rotational speed of an engine decreases when a traveling drive force is generated in the rough terrain vehicle. Further, if the determination unit determines occurrence of the reverse running state, the ECU refers to a clutch hydraulic pressure map, and sets a target hydraulic pressure so as to decrease gradually over time.
