Abstract

A coast stop vehicle for automatically stopping a drive source when a predetermined condition holds during the travel of the vehicle includes a drive source control unit adapted to control the automatic stop and the restart of the drive source, a transmission mechanism provided between the drive source and drive wheels, and a transmission control unit adapted to control a speed ratio of the transmission mechanism. When the drive source is restarted, the transmission control unit is adapted to control the transmission mechanism to a speed ratio higher than a predetermined speed ratio in response to an input shift request to the predetermined speed ratio, and the drive source control unit is adapted to restart the drive source in a state where the speed ratio of the transmission mechanism is higher than the predetermined speed ratio.
