Abstract
In a control apparatus in which a weak creep control for lowering the engaging force of a clutch (5) is performed when a throttle opening (.theta.th) is fully closed, when a brake pedal (BP) is depressed, and when the period of a vehicle speed judging pulse (V pulse) has exceeded a predetermined value TM2s whereby the vehicle is discriminated to be in a stopped condition. Once the weak creep control has started, the weak creep control is stopped by the input of the first V pulse and is transferred to a strong creep control in which the clutch engaging force is increased.
