Abstract
When a shift to a second gear ratio (second ratio) is determined during a shift control for a first shift (shift from fourth ratio to third ratio), the process status, or circumstances, of the first shift is determined using a hydraulic pressure for a fourth brake being engaged at the determination. When the process status, that is, the process circumstances, is in early phase, the first shift is interrupted and shift control for the direct shift to the second ratio (shift from fourth ratio to second ratio) is performed (first shift pattern). When the process status is in a late phase, the first shift control is continued, and after ending of the first shift control, the control for the shift to the second gear ratio (shift from third ratio to second ratio) is performed (second shift pattern). In the case of power off state, the second shift pattern is performed irrespective of the process status.
