Abstract

A control device for a vehicle has a compressor for an air-conditioning device that is driven by a vehicle drive source, and a condenser for the air-conditioning device that is disposed at a front side of the vehicle. A request torque to the vehicle drive source is determined as a sum of an air-conditioning load which is spent for driving the compressor and a running torque necessary to drive the vehicle by a drive wheel. The running torque is calculated based on an accelerator manipulation of a driver. A range-position signal indicating a selected range position is read. A value of the air-conditioning load when the air-conditioning device is in operation and the range position is in a Reverse-range is larger than a value of the air-conditioning load when the range position is in a Drive-range with respect to an identical refrigerant pressure of the air-conditioning device.
