Abstract
A control apparatus for a vehicle that is provided with an electric parking device for causing a parking pawl to be meshed with a parking gear so as to lock rotation of a wheel of the vehicle. When a parking range is selected, a parking control is executed for moving the parking pawl to a parking position in which the parking pawl is meshed with the parking gear. When the parking control is to be executed, it is determined whether or not the electric parking device is in a ratcheting state in which the parking pawl is repelled by the parking gear without the parking pawl being meshed with the parking gear. When it is determined that the electric parking device is in the ratcheting state, the parking control is stopped to move the parking pawl to a non-parking position.
