Abstract

A vehicle mounted with a continuous stepless transmission having a continuous stepless transmission and a controlling section for performing speed-changing operation of the continuous stepless transmission, the speed change ratio of the continuous stepless transmission being switchable by a speed change operation section, includes: a shift-mode-switching section which switches the mode of a speed change ratio switching, the speed change ratio switching being performed by the speed change operation section, between a first mode for switching the speed change ratio in stages among a plurality of preset speed change ratios and a second mode for switching the speed change ratio continuously or substantially continuously; in which the controlling section further includes a vehicle speed setting section which sets a target vehicle speed at least based on the speed change operation signal detected by operating the speed change operation section and a mode signal detected by switching the shift-mode-switching section.
