Abstract
A vehicle sailing stop control method is provided for a vehicle including a friction engagement element disposed between a traveling drive source and drive wheels, a torque converter disposed between the friction engagement element and the traveling drive source, and including a lock-up clutch for which a power transmission amount is controlled based on hydraulic pressure, and a hydraulic pressure source that can supply the hydraulic pressure while the traveling drive source is stopped. The vehicle sailing stop control method includes: performing sailing stop control so that coasting is performed by cutting off power transmission of the friction engagement element and stopping the traveling drive source upon a sailing stop travel condition being established; and, during coasting by the sailing stop control, placing the lock-up clutch in a power transmission state in which the hydraulic pressure is applied to the lock-up clutch.
