ABSTRACT:
A shift control apparatus for a continuously-variable transmission includes a controller for controlling a transmission ratio in a normal mode in accordance with a sensed vehicle speed and a sensed accelerator operation condition. The controller determines a second-mode downshift characteristic and a second-mode upshift characteristic in accordance with a driver's acceleration demand; and controls the transmission ratio in a kickdown shift control mode in response to a driver's acceleration request by performing a downshift operation to a target downshift transmission ratio determined according to the second-mode downshift characteristic and an upshift operation according to the second mode upshift characteristic.
