In an apparatus for controlling a vehicle with an automatic transmission which includes a gear transmission and a clutch and is responsive to the operation of a selector and an acceleration member, the selector has a special position and a low-speed running mode is allowed when the special position is selected. During the low-speed running mode, the vehicle can be driven even when the amount of operation of the acceleration member is zero level, reducing the work of the driver, especially in heavy traffic.
