Gear-shift control system of automatic transmission for motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A gear-shift control system of an automatic transmission for a motor vehicle having means for detecting whether a road on which said vehicle is running has a low-friction road surface or a high-friction road surface, wherein gear shift schedule for the low-friction road surface adapted to start said motor vehicle at a high-speed gear stage is selected when the low-friction road surface is detected, whereas gear shift schedule for the high-friction road surface adapted to start said motor vehicle at a low-speed gear stage is selected when the high-friction road surface is detected, and wherein a gear shift is controlled in conformity with the selected gear-shift schedule, comprising:
- means for detecting a press of an accelerator pedal; and
means for holding the gear shift schedule for said low-friction road surface until a next press of the accelerator pedal is detected, if said gear shift schedule for said low-friction road surface is once selected according to said detected result of the road surface.

Abstract
A gear-shift control system of an automatic transmission, in which gear shift schedule is appropriately changed-over in correspondence with the change of a road surface situation. Low-friction road surface detection device detects a low-friction road surface so as to select the gear shift schedule for the low-friction road surface adopted to start the motor vehicle with second gear. After the selection, a holding device holds the gear shift schedule for the low-friction road surface until an accelerator is pressed next.
