Abstract
When a P lock state is set on the basis of a predetermined request signal for setting the P lock state, a P position indicator lamp () is turned on or off on the basis of the status of power supplied to the vehicle (). For example, when the P lock state is set, the P position indicator lamp () is turned off when the power status is an ALL-OFF status where a combination meter (), or the like, is not turned on or is raised to an ACC-ON status; whereas, when the P lock state is set, the P position indicator lamp () is turned on when the power status is an IG-ON status, when the power status is changed from the IG-ON status during vehicle driving to the ACC-ON status, or within a predetermined period of time from when the power status is changed from the IG-ON status to the ALL-OFF status.
