Abstract
A vehicle includes a range input device and a shift by wire control device. The range input device accepts an operation of a gear shift lever by a driver. The shift by wire control device switches a transmission range including first and second ranges in response to the operation. The range input device has first and second range areas corresponding to the first and second ranges, respectively. When operated, the gear shift lever passes through the second range area to reach the first range area. The shift by wire control device measures a residence time at the second range area, switches the transmission range to the second range when the residence time is at least a switching time, and corrects the switching time based on the residence time when the gear shift lever is moved to the first range area after the transmission range is switched to the second range.
