A stepless-speed-changer engine brake controller for a vehicle having detection means for detecting as an offset an angle displacement from the maximum opening to an actual opening in an accelerator opening variation region where the throttle opening in made zero, detection means for detecting a vehicle speed, and control means for inputting the offset and the vehicle speed from the respective detection means and for controlling the speed ratio of said stepless-speed-changer in such a manner that an engine brake torque varies according to an increase or a decrease of the offset and the vehicle speed.

Stepless-speed-changer engine brake controller

A device for detecting whether an engine brake condition exists includes a memory for storing the rotating speed of the engine corresponding to the degree of opening of the throttle valve, a detector for detecting the degree of opening of the throttle valve, a detector of the actual rotating speed of the engine, and a device for determining that the engine is an engine brake state when the actual speed of the engine corresponding to the actual degree of opening of the throttle valve exceeds the speed of the engine stored in the memory.
