Abstract

A method comprises a pre-charge step of pre-charging operating oil; a holding step of holding an operating pressure at an oil pressure less than an oil pressure during the pre-charge, for a given period of time; and a raising step of raising the operating pressure to cause an engagement-side friction element to be engaged. The method further comprises a setting step of setting a pre-charge period in the pre-charge step. The setting step includes predicting a timing at which the engagement-side friction element is to be engaged; actually measuring a timing at which the engagement-side friction element has been actually engaged; and setting the period of the pre-charge step to allow a difference between the timings to become smaller.
