Abstract

A parking lock apparatus includes an engaging mechanism, a slider, a hydraulic circuit, and a processor. The engaging mechanism is to prevent a rotation of a rotating body when the engaging mechanism is in a mechanical engagement state. The slider is to switch a state of the engaging mechanism between the mechanical engagement state and a mechanical disengagement state in accordance with a position of the slider. The hydraulic circuit is to change the position of the slider. The processor is configured to increase line pressure in the hydraulic circuit when the engaging mechanism is in the mechanical engagement state.
