Abstract
The driving force control unit comprises a plurality of control modes for controlling a driving force, each of control modes having each driving force characteristic; a vehicle driving condition detecting unit for detecting a vehicle driving condition; a selector for selecting one control mode from the plurality of control modes; a driving force setting unit for setting a driving force indication value according to the driving force characteristic selected by the selector based on the vehicle driving condition; and a shift lever position detector for detecting a shift lever position of a transmission. The control mode includes a reverse control mode having a reverse driving force characteristic suitable for traveling the vehicle in reverse direction. The driving force setting unit changes the control mode to the reverse control mode when the shift lever is detected in a position of a reverse range, and sets the driving force indication value according to the reverse driving force characteristic.
