Abstract

A control apparatus for a vehicular power transmitting system includes a drive mode setting portion configured to select a first reverse drive mode of the vehicle to be established with an engaging action of the first coupling element, and a required vehicle drive force determining portion configured to determine whether a degree of operation of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle during reverse driving of the vehicle is higher than a predetermined threshold value. The drive mode setting portion selects the first reverse drive mode when the required vehicle drive force determining portion has determined that the degree of operation of the accelerator pedal during the reverse driving of the vehicle is higher than the predetermined threshold value.
