1. A vehicle control device comprising:
- a control unit that switches a shift range of an automatic transmission by an actuator based on a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed sensor and an operation result of a shift range selector by a driver, whereinthe control unit switches the shift range to a parking range by the actuator automatically when a vehicle power source is turned off or a drive source is stopped in a state that the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor is equal to or less than a predetermined speed and,the control unit notifies the driver via a warning device when a predetermined shift range selection operation is executed by the shift range selector in a state that the vehicle power source is on or the drive source is being driven; and
the control unit maintains a neutral range when an operation in which the vehicle power source is turned off or the drive source is stopped is executed while the warning device notifies.

Abstract
While an engine (drive source) is being driven, when a long pressing operation (selection operation on a predetermined shift range) on an N-range button via a SBW shifter is executed, an engine drive/stop button blinks to notify a driver (step S1 and step S2). During the blinking of the engine drive/stop button, when the engine drive/stop button is pressed and the engine (drive source) is stopped, a neutral range is maintained without being switched to a parking range automatically (step 3 and step 4).

10. A method of controlling a vehicle control device having a control unit that switches a shift range of an automatic transmission by an actuator based on a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed sensor and an operation result of a shift range selector by a driver, the method executed by the control unit comprising:
-
switching the shift range to a parking range by the actuator automatically when a vehicle power source is turned off or a drive source is stopped in a state that the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor is equal to or less than a predetermined speed, notifying the driver via a warning device when a predetermined shift range selection operation is executed by the shift range selector in a state that the vehicle power source is on or the drive source is being driven; and maintaining a neutral range when an operation in which the vehicle power source is turned off or the drive source is stopped is executed while the warning device notifies. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
