Abstract
When the accelerator opening degree becomes equal to or smaller than an increase amount cancel threshold value (timing t) while the depression force of an accelerator pedalis increased than a base depression force by a predetermined increase amount of the depression force, the predetermined increase amount of the depression force is decreased at a predetermined rate, and moreover, when the accelerator opening degree becomes greater than a predetermined accelerator opening degree threshold value (timing t) while the predetermined increase amount of the depression force is decreased, the depression force of the accelerator pedalis increased with respect to the base depression force so that the increase amount of the depression force with respect to the base depression force becomes greater than the predetermined increase amount of the depression force.
