ABSTRACT:
A control method for an apparatus which includes a first shift portion that includes a motor and a differential portion, and that is able to function as an electric differential portion; and a second shift portion that is a stepped shift portion, and that is connected to the first shift portion, wherein the apparatus transmits power output from an engine to a drive wheel, the control method includes: determining whether a degree of progress of an upshift of the second shift portion that is performed when a vehicle is driven using solely the motor as a drive power source, has reached a predetermined level; determining whether the engine should be started; and stopping the upshift, and starting the engine, when it is determined that the degree of the progress of the upshift has not reached the predetermined level, and it is determined that the engine should be started.
