20090239705 | CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE - By shifting a lock-up clutch of a torque converter from a released state into an engaged state on condition that a gear ratio of an input shaft of a CVT to an output shaft of the CVT is decreasing (upshift), a lock-up control at the time of an increase in vehicle speed is performed while the gear ratio is being changed in a stepped manner.
