Abstract
A controller determines whether or not the vehicle dynamics controller is operating, and when it is determined that it is operating, a speed change operation by an actuator which changes over a gear position of the automatic transmission is prohibited. This speed change prohibition is continued for a predetermined time even when the vehicle dynamics controller has stopped. In this way, control performance of the vehicle dynamics controller is prevented from becoming unstable due to a speed change of the automatic transmission.
