Abstract
By a controller which controls a speed-change control valve for switching a hydraulic pressure to be supplied to each of cylinder chambers of each of pulleys of a continuously variable vehicular transmission, the speed reduction ratio is controlled such that the engine revolution speed becomes a target revolution speed which is set depending on the running conditions of a vehicle. When an accumulated time of high-speed operation at which Ne becomes higher than a predetermined first set revolution speed exceeds a first set time, an upper limit value of Ne or the target revolution speed is corrected to decrease. Further, when the duration time of a low-speed revolution below a predetermined second set revolution speed which is smaller than the first set revolution speed exceeds a second set time, the upper limit value of Ne is corrected to increase or the correction to decrease the target revolution speed is stopped.
