Abstract
A controller (80) calculates a target speed ratio of a continuously variable transmission (2) incorporated into an infinitely variable transmission for a vehicle and a target vehicle acceleration based on a vehicle running state. When a predetermined creep torque control condition holds (S90-S93, S101), the controller (80) corrects the target speed ratio such that the deviation of the target acceleration from the real vehicle acceleration to decrease. By controlling the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission to the corrected target speed ratio, the infinitely variable transmission generates a creep torque consistent with the driver's intention.
