Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a coast-stop control device that makes it possible to change gears to an appropriate gear change while traveling, before the engine is stopped. The present invention is a coast-stop control device for performing coast-stop control that automatically stops an engine while the vehicle is traveling, the coast-stop control device being characterized: in being provided with an engine stop condition-assessing means for assessing whether it is possible to stop the engine and a gear change control means for controlling the gear change ratio of a gear change mechanism; and in controlling the gear change mechanism to a prescribed gear change ratio when the engine stop condition-assessing means determines that an engine stop condition has been met.
