Abstract

A start control device is provided for a vehicle that is subjected to neutral control for releasing a coupling element of an automatic transmission when the vehicle is stopped with predetermined conditions satisfied while the automatic transmission is in a forward drive position. The start control device detects a braking operation performed by the driver of the vehicle or a braking condition during the neutral control, and controls the braking force of the vehicle when the vehicle returns from the neutral control, based on the detected braking operation or the braking condition during the neutral control.
