Abstract
A vehicle includes: an automatic transmission configured to select a gear from a plurality of gears by switching engagement of a plurality of friction engaging mechanisms; a determination unit configured to determine whether a predetermined deceleration condition is satisfied during traveling; and an engagement control unit configured to control the plurality of friction engaging mechanisms. If the determination unit determines that the predetermined deceleration condition is satisfied, the engagement control unit decelerates the vehicle by controlling, in addition to a friction engaging mechanism corresponding to a current gear among the plurality of friction engaging mechanisms, a degree of engagement of another friction engaging mechanism that can generate interlock of the automatic transmission.
