Abstract
A threshold that is used in determining, based on a deviation between slip amounts, whether to stop slip control or not during the performance of feedback control in slip control is made smaller when pitch damping control is being performed than when pitch damping control is not being performed, during the performance of slip control of a lockup clutch. Therefore, slip control is likely to be stopped when the torque input to the lockup clutch is likely to fluctuate. In consequence, a control apparatus and a control method for a vehicle that make it possible to stably perform slip control of the lockup clutch while increasing the number of opportunities to perform the slip control and pitch damping control are provided.
