Abstract
A lockup control device for a vehicle includes: a torque converter; a lockup control section configured to increase a lockup pressure difference command to an initial pressure difference when a lockup engagement condition is satisfied in a disengagement state of the lockup clutch, and then to increase the lockup pressure difference command by a ramp pressure difference by a predetermined gradient, the lockup control section being configured to determine a ramp start condition by which the lockup pressure difference command is switched from the initial pressure difference to the ramp pressure difference, based on a speed ratio which is a ratio of input and output rotation speeds of the torque converter.
