Abstract
A control system for vehicles equipped with an engine and an automatic transmission mechanism which has a non-running position and a running position one of which is selected by a driver of the vehicle and works to automatically change a speed of an output thereof. The control system basically inhibits the engine from being automatically stopped on an uphill road in order to minimize the rolling back of the vehicle upon start of the vehicle, but is responsive to the driver's intention to permit the engine to be automatically stopped, that is, the switching from the running position to the non-running position to stop the engine.
