ABSTRACT:
A continuously variable transmission control system employs a gear ratio control map which has a step-wise control zone of driving condition where engine speed is controlled to repeat alternate gradual increase and rapid decrease with an increase in vehicle speed so as thereby to vary step-wise a gear ratio and a continuous control zone of driving conditions where engine speed is controlled to increase approximately linearly with an increase in vehicle speed so as thereby to continuously vary a gear ratio, the step-wise control zone of driving condition based on which the gear ratio control is performed being narrowed when a driving condition is judged to be within a specified unstable zone.
