Abstract
A driving force control device can set driving force characteristics which conform to tastes of drivers using one vehicle thus giving the easy-to-drive feeling to the drivers. An E/G13ECU possesses three modes 1 to 3 as control modes and selects one mode from these modes based on a manipulation input using a mode selection switch. Further, any one of the mode out of these modes 1 to 3 is preset in the E/G13ECU as a temporary changeover mode, and the E/G13ECU changes over a mode selected by the mode selection switch and the preset temporary changeover mode alternatively by the temporary changeover switch.
