Abstract
A control system for a vehicle configured to accurately learn an initial engagement position of a clutch. The control system is applied to a vehicle comprising a clutch that selectively transmits power between a prime mover and drive wheels, and a detector that detects an input speed of the clutch rotated by the prime mover. A controller executes a learning of the initial engagement position of the clutch, if a reaction time until an input speed of the clutch is changed by engaging the clutch gradually while maintaining the input speed of the clutch to a constant speed is shorter than a threshold period of time.
